Excerpt from Public Improvements Program, 1962: Elizabeth City, North Carolina The purpose of the Public Improvements Program is to present a staging in logical sequence of the Public Improvements needed during the planning period extending to 1980. These improvements, which include such facilities as schools, fire stations, parks and utilities, were proposed and detailed in the Community Facilities Plan. In this report each improvement is listed according to the anticipated year it will be needed based upon trends in City growth and development. Priorities are not suggested within the year group. Improvements which involve both purchase of land and development of facilities are listed as separate items because of the necessity of pur chasing the site in advance of providing improvements. Some improvements are divided into several stages, because the entire improvement is not needed at once, or because of the necessity of financing it over a period longer than a year. Financing the proposed improvements is largely a public responsibility to be ad ministered through various agencies of the City and County Governments. The finane ing method most often used in this report is Current Revenue. Current Revenue in this instance reflects not only the current operating budget, but also any reserves on hand whether accumulated from taxes levied for special projects or from reserves accumulated over a period through savings in the operating budget. Whenever possible, the Current Revenue method of financing is recommended because it is generally more acceptable to the Public than Bonds and it is usually more economical. However, when the cost of a project, or series of projects, is too great for Current Revenue, Bonds are recommend ed as a means of financing.

The agriculture, forestry, and fishing sectors are the cornerstone of industries that produce food, fiber, and biofuel. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) conducts research in order to improve worker safety and health in these sectors. This National Research Council book reviews the NIOSH Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing Program to evaluate the 1) relevance of its work to improvements in occupational safety and health and 2) the impact of research in reducing workplace illnesses and injuries. The assessment reveals that the program has made meaningful contributions to improving worker safety and health in these fields. To enhance the relevance and impact of its work and fulfill its mission, the NIOSH Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing Program should provide national leadership, coordination of research, and activities to transfer findings, technologies, and information into practice. The program will also benefit from establishing strategic goals and implementing a comprehensive surveillance system in order to better identify and track worker populations at risk.

The occurrences of both injury and death that take place on the job are a significant public health problem in the United States, causing a substantial human and economic burden. Traumatic Injury Research at NIOSH is the sixth report in the series Reviews of Research Programs of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. The Committee to Evaluate the NIOSH Traumatic Injury Research Program found the program's research during 1996-2005 (the evaluation period for this review) relevant to reducing the burden of traumatic injury in the workplace and to have contributed to improvements in worker health and safety. To continue to reduce injuries and deaths to workers due to trauma, the committee recommended that the TI Research Program continue setting goals within the program's scope and resources; work with other federal agencies that support injury prevention and control research to outline areas of collaboration; embark on a program to increase the visibility of traumatic injury research; develop a strategic plan for evaluating its research-to-practice efforts and for building the capacity to carry out these efforts; and consider research on the safety impacts of changes in the nature of work as well as intervention research targeting organization policies and practices.
