This means'Xthat work on the project should get under way here in Waterbury within the next few days. It was originally sup posed that the project would be approved for an amount in the neighborhood of $3,000. Then, as days passed and no word was heard from Washington and the men .be gan to request for transfers to WPA construction Jobs, it was gen erally believed that the local traf ric survey project was closed for good. Today’s announcement, how ever, clearly indicates that work will begin again. 20 Employed There are twenty persons em ployed here on the local project and to date it is believed that about half of the number had requested for transfers, believing that the survey project was finished. No definite Information has been is sued in connection with the men who have requested transfers, and in regard to those who have already been transferred, but it is expected that they willNbe transferred back to their Jobs on the traffic survey. Cheering News The news is the best that has been received in some months by the members of the local staff, who have been out of work for the past three weeks. Previous to this lay-off, they were out of work as a result of some tieup in regard to appropria tion of funds for a period of six weeks. That was some time during the summer. In the early spring they were out of work for about three weeks as a result of another tie-up. Now, with the sum of $6,824 appropriated for the project, it seems that they will be able to work until the entire survey work is completed.
