local streets.

improvement program, cost of which would be $2,818 to the Village. In reply
to questions of Council, Mr. Dunn added that this program is similar to the
present State Aid Program and that he believes that the Village can fully
expect to gain as much from the program as it has from the State Aid Program.

Village to the point where it can begin some projects under this program which
would then be funded 50% by federal money and 50% by local funds. He explained
that these projects are not road-construction projects, but for the most part
will improvement existing situations and move traffic more easily. Following
