with costs of leased or owned "in-house" equipment and service.
Three proposals were received for "in-house" equipment and service and

leased. Annual estimated cost of equipment, software and maintenance
was $26,640.00 based on a 5 year lease.
Similar on-line service provided through our existing service bureau
would be approximately $36,000. per annum, however costs could not be
firm due to estimated possible changes in volume, Bell cable service, etc.,
