Ear2 Weldon visited the Departmeat of Trarlsgortatioa, t,Tnshington, D.C.; had ameeting with Mr. Fisher and revlewed prelimi.narp applicatioa for Bus Department Grant. Although the prasentaticm anl maps were well received, twa major problems eaisC with the bus grant. tlatil the tusmoil between NOACA and the Citq of Cleveland is aettled thera xill be no federal moaies of this sort caming into this seven countq araa. Other problem is the fact that we intended to pay our shure of the Fedaral Graut back with aonies aut vf the fare box. Accordiag to latest regula- tiaas as of November, 1970, this is not pc?ssible. Federal regulatiotas no?T stipulate that the monies for the City's share of the Fedaral Grant would have to be paid back aut of other sources; i.e., if bctie liae hsd a slush fund for bond retireaent, if bus line had a graat fxom the City fram outside sources; if bue liAe had investments which had other inconte; if bus line were subsidize3 by the City. Service Director Caster ecmmented on the fact that the bus line net being aubsidized in any manner seams to work against us. Washington officials admit that this is not agcsod situation as far as we are cvncerned but this is a coac3itioa that we will have to salve. There are two alternaCives -(1) iseuance of councilmaaic bonds to cover our portion of the Pederal Grant; (2) a direct $ubsfdy from the City out of General Fund mon#.es.
