 The government will face the city will supply the nds, later obtaining a refund e care, it was explained.
 $36,0OO Annually
 Dr. Thomas J. Condon, superin- tendent of schools, said 1t will cost approximately $6,091 to operate the Warner Gardens project from Oc- tober to January l, while the esti- mated cost at the Hamilton Heights center from November l, when it is expected to open, to January is $2,230. Commissioner John Kearney commented that at that rate opera tion for the full year would ap- preach $36, 900, and Dr. Condon ver- flied the estimate.
 Miss Hunt said 8 house-to-house canvass was conducted to determine the needs of child care center in the localities. Special buildings were set up for the purpose when the housing projects were under taken. She said the Kingsbury cen- ter will serve as the main one and the other two projects will be branches, receiving guidance from the main establishment.
 In answer to an inquiry by Com missioner Harold J. Parkinson, Miss Hunt said the fees collected at the Kingsbury home at the present time are not sufficient to meet the city's expenses, adding, however, that the late opening and halting of enroll ment are responsible. She said that after the 1nfantile paralysis threat subsidies additional children will be accepted.
 If a deficit should result 1t will come from the budget appropriation, to be set up specifically for the oper- ation of the center, Dr. Condon stated.
 Transfers Approved

Nine in- dividual transfers for next year were permitted while two requests for changes to other school districts were denied
