"Two adjoining stories in a recent issue of the Johnston City (Illinois) Progress
. were:
"No. l. 'More than two weeks ago Johnston City made application for a $75,000 W.P.A.
project to help stop the flood which 1s threatening to destroy its coal m1nes.'
V "No. 2. 'An extensive recreational project was launched in Johnston City this week,
with $7,344 allotted to carry on the work. The project will include Instruction In
, checkers, calisthenics, mass games, indoor and outdoor group games, etc. Pinochle,
~ bridge and dancing will be included if the community does not object.'"

"Five thousand men are still at work making a bigger and bigger ditch out of what
was to have been the trans—F1or1da ship canal. — -
‘ ”And about half as many are still busy up at Cobscook Bay doing whatever men do on
a grandiose undertaking to harness the tides. t
g "Yet officially it 1s not intended that either of these projects shall ever be com-
pleted. Indeed, 19 days ago President Roosevelt announced that he would allot no more
4 money to either the canal or Passamaquoddy unless Congress directed him to do so. Con-
gress, which had before frowned upon both projects, has in the 19 days shown no desire
» whatever to continue them. The Army engineers In charge of the two projects say they
I have no orders to stop. They indicate that unless they receive orders to the contrary
; they will carry on until July 1 and the last dollar of allotted money is spent.
A "It is President Roosevelt's responsibility that the taxpayers' money is being thrown
l A away on these two 'abandoned' projects. He started both of them, without asking the con-
? sent of Congress, and against the advice of Administration experts. More than $9,000,000
j has already been wasted. The least the President could do is to withdraw, forthwith, the
_ unexpended balances of the allotments and put those 7500 men to work on projects that will
be completed. ~ -
n "In no part of his whole spending program is the President so vulnerable as In these
two haphazard ventures." g
