Identifier: CAC_CC_047_1_3_16_0005

Scope and Contents

The letter dated June 16, 1945 from George B. Schwabe, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, to Mr. C.I. Weathers, Superintendent of Claremore City Schools in Oklahoma, discusses the lack of federal assistance programs for building projects like public schools due to the focus on war activities. However, Schwabe provides information on Title V of the War Mobilization and Reconversion Act of 1944, which allows municipalities to plan for post-war projects and receive advances from the federal government. Schwabe assures that there are legal provisions for repayment of these advances, and offers to cooperate with city authorities to facilitate post-war planning and projects. The letter responds to Weathers' inquiry about federal aid for public school building programs.
