WASHINGTON, March' 13. (AP) An additional 62.340,000.000 to con tinue works relief during the nest financial year was proposed to Presi dent Roosevelt today by the Unltd States conference of mayor. The mayors conference, embracing the heads of the 100 largest clttea of the country, said It was unani mous In endorsing the policy of work relief as opposed to the dole and likewise unanimous ' on the ne cessity fop continuing WPA. views of Men on Job. The exhaustive survey and report of the mayors conference was sub mitted to President Roosevelt by Mayor Plorella H. Laguardla, of New York City aa chairman of the con ference. He told newsmen "these views are those of the men who are actually on the Job and know condi tions. The report was received by the president as he was preparing to conclude his own study of relief needs and submit recommendations to congress for funds for the next year. "Aa chief executives of these ma jor cities," said the memorandum of Mayor LaOuardla, "we are of the opinion that any honest and im partial analysis of the work being prosecuted in the Important cities of the country will reveal that prac tically every .project represents a useful and. In most cases, a perma nent public improvement. Much Yet to Do. . "Certainly, there remain a multi tude of additional useful things to be done under future works pro grams. "And, finally. It 'is apparent that the city officials of America will never consent to the abandonment of the work principle in giving relief assistance. The dole, based upon Idleness and groceries, has no place in our American scheme of society." The report listed the replies from the 100 cities saying it. was the answer of 25.000,000 people to whether the WPA program should be continued. The replies were signed by mayors, city managers, commis sioners of public works and their secretaries In some Instances direct ors of parks and public property. The cities included Tacoma, Wash..
