formed. Before any application is approved, it shall be made
to appear to the State Relief Commission that the following
essential facts exist, to-wit:
1. That the project presents a practical opportunity to provide
work for unemployed people of the county or subdivision
making the application; and at least ninety per cent (90%) of
the funds for such project will be used for labor.
2. That the project can be constructed with local unemployed
labor eligible for employment on relief projects.
3. That the project will not require the expenditure of an
inequitable portion of the relief funds when compared with the
needs of the whole State and the amount of money available
for relief and work relief purposes.
4. That the project could not be accomplished as a public
work project on account of the demonstrated inability of the
county, municipality, or other political subdivision concerned
to finance its part of the project under the requirements of the
Public Works Administration.
If a county, municipal, or quasi-municipal corporation, or
other political subdivision of the county is allotted funds to be
used for the construction, repair, or maintenance of lateral
roads or any other public project then and in such event, said
Commissioners' Court or the governing body of such municipality,
quasi-municipality, or other political subdivision of the
county shall have the direct supervision and control of the expenditures
of such funds, allotted to it, subject, however, to
such rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the State
Relief Commission, and in the expenditure of such funds, the
Commissioners' Court or other governing body may act free
from the county board in all matters except as to the employment
of labor which shall be supplied by the county board. At
least ninety per cent (90%) of the State funds granted by this
Section shall be used for the purpose of paying for labor of
unemployed persons eligible for relief work. And an amount
not to exceed ten per cent (10%) of the funds granted by this
Section for each project shall be available for the purpose of
procuring materials, tools, equipment and supplies, provided,
however, that nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting
the use of any funds received from the United States Public
Works administration for the furnishing of materials, tools,
equipment, supplies and/or for other purposes.
SEC. 16. The Texas Relief Commission is hereby authorized
to use not more than two and one-half per cent (21/2%), or so
much thereof as may be necessary, of the proceeds of the Texas
Relief Bonds, Second Series for the payment of hospital services.
Provided, however, that the amount authorized to be
expended for such purposes shall not exceed Two Dollars and
Fifty Cents ($2.50) per day per patient. Such hospitalization
shall be authorized only in emergency cases where special care
is essential to the preservation of life and health, and same
cannot be otherwise adequately administered.
SEC. 17. The Texas Relief Commission is hereby authorized
