Their general idea is if Weston went in for $1 ,500, Lexington and Concord should double that amount. They are asking for money now to engage Arthur D. Little as consultants to set up a master plan; Arthur 0. Little said it would cost approx- imately $200,000, of which the federal government would fund $100,000, State-$50,000, and local government to come up with the other $50,000. Chairman Kenney to Mr. Costello As our representative to SILC, what is your recommendation? Mr. Costello: The Town should do it. They are looking for $50,000. While the study is going on, they will look for funds to buy rights- of - way; they are looking for a tool to approach the State and federal government with. Mr. O'Connell They are asking for seed money to go looking for federal and state funds, and it is a wild goose chase. After discussion, the Board agreed not to join with SILC and to inform them that it has been decided not to include an Article in our 1973 Warrant for funds to employ a consulting firm to begin work on the project for public transportation.
