State and local projects.-Grants were made to eligible State and local governments for public works, primarily water and sewage systems, waste treatment works, hospital additions, and related health facilities. Grants were made for 50% of the project costs, although areas of most severe unemployment were eligible for grants up to 75%. The local recipients were required to increase local expenditures for public works by at least the amount of the local contribution. 200-100-66- -7 PUBLIC WORKS ACCELERATION-Continued General and special funds-Continued PUBLIC WORKS ACCELERATION-Continued 2.
