<br />5. It is estimated the total cost for this ~rogram would no~ excee~d $28,500. This is an
<br /> . .lnc~eas9 o$ the, S13,000 ~equested for last year's program for ~4 workers.. The increase
<br /> is explained by'~irtue of the facet that the number ~of 'workers in, th9 pyog~am has been
<br /> practically doubled and it is considered that an inqresse over last year's rate of 50~
<br /> per hour for workers in this ~rogr~m is necessary , It,zappeays appropriate to mention
<br /> that the.program for-last year cos~ less than ~he amount appropriated and it is
<br /> expected that th~ same good management 1mi the city's~funds would again be employed this
<br /> year.
