Canduebls fee for the entire program would be $22,000.
Since th~ town would be el igible fpr Federal and State aid under the 1'70]" pro-
gr'Jm, the relative participation would be as follows:
2/3 Federal
1/6 State
1/6 Town.
. $ ¡ 4, 666 .

3.66/".
This is the Cons\.¡. tont\ fee only. In addition there are fed'2!rol and state adminìs'-
trct¡on charges, 1/6 of which the locol agency is required to pay. The í'ota! arn()unt
of abcve fees would be approximately $2,868. of which the town's sl"tore WOl,:lJ be
$478. This is a maximum fee and subject to possible reduction. Thì5, therefore,
brings the total cost of the pro¡ed to a maximum of $4. 145.
