If funding be.vond Oat which can <br />be provided by the three affected cities is required, <br />the Board feels that a loan program is far more appro- <br />priate as a method of providing that fundina. We <br />understand that this is one of the alternatives heirq <br />considered and that the alternative nav require the <br />payment of interpst by the state.
