He questioned if the County portion would be figured only on the 295 -
amount paid by taxes and not on funds from Revenue Sharing. Berlin
thought that revenue sharing funds would be included, but special
federal grants would not.

be for low and moderate income elderly. Neuhauser said that she agreed
that the advertisement and Senior Center bulletins should explain the
requirements. Some persons are now confused about who can participate.
