Despite rate hikes a $100,000 annual subsidy may still be needed, far below last spring’s $200,000 emergency appropriation. Beginning next fall rates would be $74 for double and single rooms and $30 for triple rooms, setting 1971-72 yearly totals at $31,246 for singles, $1,114 for doubles, and $1,070 for triples.
