Works which local bodies propose to undertake for relief of unemployment and obtain a subsidy from the Government must be approved by the Minister of Public Works, and in order to avoid unnecessary delay local bodies should submit their proposals direct to the local District Engineer of the Public Works Department, who will have the matter investigated and submit a report to his Head Office as expeditiously as possible. As indicated above, subsidies can only be granted to local bodies as defined by the Local Bodies' Loans Act, 1926.

B. SUBSIDIES APPROVED BY THE MINISTERS OF PUBLIC WORKS AND FINANCE UP TO 24th NOVEMBER, 1928.
