Biographical History
The first expenditure in Texas of federal monies allocated for the New Deal programs of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's administration created the Texas Relief Commission in 1933.
In Runnels County, as in the rest of Texas, most Works Projects Administration projects were devoted to the construction of schools and other public works. The Ballinger High School, Winters School, Runnels County Courthouse, and other buildings were erected or improved by workers paid from WPA funds. In addition, school-lunch programs and other minor projects provided income for a few more unemployed Runnels County residents.
