The present program costs
about $4,000 a year.
In all, the city would be in
vesting about $150,O0O in day
care in fiscal 1864.
Money for care stops now
once a mother completes train
ing. 1t would continue in the
future, and working mothers
never on relief who need help
to pay for their children's care
would be eligible, too.
Families would be asked to
pay as much as they could of
the cost of care.
The city would not set up its
own day care centers. Rather,
1t would pay private centers
for care.
In all, $2.8l6,600 more for

officials defend their urgent
spending requests as District
budget hearings open next week
Consideration of two separate
budgets sent Congress by Presi-

Schools will be called up out

wants to make sure funds are
adequate for the current school

teachers was being held for ex-

Senator Byrd said today he
would listen to District Com
