The Board expressed the view that such a special projects program vas a good idea. It is contemplated that the Board may suggest that the staff consider in the special project category applications not approved by the Board for its- grants-ia-aid program, and that the Board may incorporate in its grants-in- aid program both proposed and in-progress special projects which it feels vill contribute to the Board's fandamental objectives. During the year, the Board has taicen both such actions. The special projects appropriations thus far, over and above The Council budget, and the expenditures for them,.are appended.
