Dear Ms. Anthony,

     I write today regarding the Americans with Disabilities
Act.                            
                                        (b)(6)
     A curb in front of the house of      XX       of
Richland, Pennsylvania, is being cut so that the town may build a
ramp for the handicapped. Richland proposes to bill   XX
    XX     directly for the expense of installing this ramp.

     Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, should the town
of Richland pay for the ramp out of its general revenues, or
should the town bill       XX         XX         does not use a
wheelchair; he does not need the ramp personally. Under the ADA,
should he pay directly for the ramp in question, or should the
town?

     Please advise me of the answer to this question in writing,
so that I might reply to         XX


                                    Sincerely,





                                    Harris Wofford
