These were part of the original PWA program and as was the policy, 30 per cent of the cost of labor and material ($150,000) was contributed by the Public Works Administration, the balance = being raised by the sponsoring communities. Kingston Gets $126,000 In Kingston, extensive improvements were made to the sewer system, and new storm sewers to serve the area known as the Westmoor Section were constructed, all at a cost of approxi- mately $126,000, of which $39,000 was contributed as a PWA grant thereby reducing Kingston’s share to only $87,- 000. In Hughestown, a Federal grant amounting to $5,475 and a loan of $16,- 000 made possible the construction of a one-story, four-room addition to the elementary school The largest of the completed projects is the Wilkes-Barre project which provided for the con- struction of extensions to the sanitary and storm sewer-systems and the con- struction of a reinforced concrete high- way bridge over Laurel Run Creek, and ‘which cost $353,000. Of this large sum, [$106,000 was contributed by the Public ‘Works Administration. The other fourteen projects, all under construction, are estimated to cost nearly $1,5000,000. Since these needed useful public works are all part of the second Public Works Administration program which provided for direct grants amounting to 45 per cent of the total cost of the project, nearly $670,000 was contributed in such grants, there- by making possible their construction at a great saving to the Luzerne Coun- ty taxpayers.
