WORK PROJECTS ADMINISTRATION 5
3 T E N N E s s E E L 7'
The'program of the Work Projects Administration was I
undertaken in the summer of 19:55 for the purpose of pro- g:
‘ viding employment on useful public projects. WPA project I
operations since that time have resulted in the creation I
or improvement of a wide variety of public facilities and ;
serviCes in the State of Tennessee. in?
A summary of the major types of facilities completed :3
is presented in this statement. The report shows the -3
number of physical units constructed or improved from the t
, beginning of the program through December 31, 1939. The
data include only those units upon which work had been :
completed during this period and do not include units upon
which work was still in progress. _
In the nonconstructiOn field, WPA workers have assisted I
many communities in expanding and improving their educa— L
tional, health, and other public services and have also :
conducted art, music, educational and other activities in 3
which the public could participate directly. In addition
to reports of completed units of work, reports of public 1’5
participation in a number of these activities during rep— Z
I resentatiVe periods are included in this summary. ‘ (“a
