Rehousing of badly. housed masses of people, reconstruction of blighted urban areas, constructive solution of traffic and transportation problems, of high- way and parking difficulties—these alone are of such magnitude that many people may be employed for years before the needs are met. Provision of recreational and educational facilities, proper sanitation, reclamation of soil and rivers, and provision for new or expanded public services, all represent a large volume of work needed right now. The problem is to decide which needs must be met first and how to plan so that each project fits reasonably into the pattern of local and national development. This is the challenge which faces our public officials and planners today. FEDERAL WORKS AGENCY PUBLIC WORK RESERVE Washington, D. C.
