unchanged even though it has been acknowledged that .said Maximum
Participation Base precludes the provision of aid under acceptable
standards particularly in view of the rising cost of living, and

funds from the property tax revenue ,source in spite of its being
a recognized fact that the property tax base is already over-
burdened** and

Senate Bill, Number 88 and Assembly Bill Number 627 have been
