cil is also aware that these sums do
flet in any way represent the full
anmuut •of the charity bestowed by
this comity. Private charity
by imli-
Ytdua}s sliming), and societies, is
largely given to the vex), same parties
that receive menicipal aid.
Another large nem of expense to
the county is in connection with the
running of tins goal, The manner in
which tide expense in paid is as fol.
lows; The government psys foe all
prisoners who are chargewith indict.
able offence; and the county pays for
all others. The last quarter the
government was charged with 119
day and the county with 151.8 di1/4ye.
Of this 1513 day; 1483 days 40
chargeable to the maintenance of
indigents, In consequence of this the
county had to pay $842, 848,37 paid
by the government, or about 14-15 of
the whole expense.If there had been
no indigents confined the government
would have had to pay nearly two.
thirds, and the county something over
one.third. , Jia this way the cost to
the county was for indigents alone
over $400 for the quarter. This
quarter isnot above the average, so
that the county pays annually about
$1,600 for maintenance of indigents
in the gaol.
The question naturally arises —how
much of this large sun won Id be say-
ed.to the local municipalities by the
erection of a House of Refuge? Froin
information in the hands of your
Committee it is .quite evident that
only a very emall .proportion of the
charity grant to •iudigonts would
necessarily remain. It is not pre-
tended that there would be no amount
to be spent by the local municipalities
for charitable purposes, but it is estab-
lished beyond all ',question in the
counties where Houses of Refuge have
been erected, that -adding ,the items
for charity and increased county grant
for House of Refuge, together, the
result is a less 8a131 by a considerable
amount than the ..sum previously
spent for like purposes. The special
committee appointed by the county
council of Ontario county to report
on this same subject.at its June sesi
ion, and of whoeereport we have
been favored with it.. copy, on this
point repoit as follwos : "The erection.
of houses of Refuge appears to have
obviated, except in the smallest
degree; grants to indigents by the
minor municipalities.” The various
Houses of Refuge in 'the Province are
as follows: County of Elgin—Town
ship of Sonthwold, 8 miles west of
St. Thomas. County of Waterloo—
Berlin. County of York — Near
Newmarket. County of Lincoln
Township of Grantham, a little over
half a mile from St. Catharines..
County of Middlesex—Township of.
Adelaide, near Stratbroy. .0ounty
Norfolk — Gore of 'Woodbonse.
County of Wellington— Township of
Nichol, midway between the villages.
of Fergus and Elora, 'Comity of;
Welland — Township of • Thorold, '
County of Brant—Township of Brant-
ford. The mailer institutions, such
as would be ample for the county of
Huron, do not average incost over
$12,000. The Ontario county cote.
mittee agrees with us that smaller
farms and cheaper buildings would
meet every want, and save a large and
unnecessary expense.
Your committee would next call
attention to the number of inmates,
and the cost per head, of these insti-
tutions t
