Abstract:
This reprint of Jane Dalziel Wood's report on a local relief project in Wilmington describes the 1931 Block Messenger System which was created for War Relief work. The plan was \"to have a representative in each city block who was known as a messenger, to collect small change each week from voluntary contributors.\" The money was used to employ unemployed men in building a road.
