(1) to insure a sufficient amount of initial stock for the facilities and for their proper maintenance;
(2) to pay the costs of supervision and other expenses incidental to the operation of the facilities; and
(3) to pay other program costs to the extent necessary to assure fair and equal treatment of the blind persons licensed to operate the facilities and to the extent allowed under federal programs that provide financial support to the commission.
