Honorable H. D. Stevens,MAyor, Boynton, Florida. Dear Mayor Stevens: In the event your city is planning to participate in the Federal Works Program, now before Congress, I am ad- vised that it would' be well for you to give ~mmimary consid- eration at thistime te projects upon which wo~k can be started within ~0 days after the Act is passed. Such pro- jects, I understand, will be given preference. It also would be advisable te set up any such pro- ject on the basis that if the grant is not given it will be impossible for your city to ~udertake public works. If possible, inform this office by wire as to the s~ount of municipal cor~truction you would be'able to under- take within 30 days after passage of the Bill, which will probably ~ake possible the following fi~ucial a~rangements: ~l~st, installment method of repaYment, without necessity of issuing bonds; second~ by leasing the contemplated pro- ject from the goverrauent; third, deferment of principal and interest payments for several years. Faithfully yours, (Signed) E. P. Owen,Jr,, Secretary.
