To these sums must be added the sums of $284 and 8483, respectively which are the amounts estitnated by the County Treasurer as spent by the county for the same purposes as the local grants in the same years, and these to make a grand total of no less than, $10,216, or 5,108 per alinum. Every member of the County Coun- cil is also aware that these sums do not in any way represent the full amount of the charity bestowed by this county Private charity by incliyiduals, church as and societies, is largely given to the very same person that received munittipal Another large item of expense to the County is in connection with the run ning jail. The manner in which this expense is paid is as follows. The Goverement pays for all prisonere who are charged with indictable offenees, and.the county pays for all others. The last quarter the Government was charged with 119 days and the County with1513days. Of this 1513 days, 1433 days is chargeable to the main- tenance of indigents. In consequence of this the County had to pay $643, against $46.37 paid by the Goverment or aborit 14/15tlas ef the whole expense If there had been no indigents confin- ed the Government would have had to pay nearly two-thirds mid the County one third. In this way the cost to the County was for indigents alone over $400 for the quarter. This quarter is not aboVe theaverage, so that the Colin ty pays annually about $1600 for main tenance of indigent e in jail. The qnestion naturally arises -how ranch of this laege sum would be saved to the local municipalities by the erect ion ad., House of Refuge. From the inforthation in the hande Of your cent- mittee it is quite evident that only a very email proportion tof the charity grant to indigents would. remain. It is not pretendedl that there WOilla be tto atmnint to be Spent by' the local nettnicipalitiee for ehatitablo purpoSes but it is established beyetal all epees tion in the cotinties where Howies a Refuge have been ereeted, that adding the itetns for charity aed. inerierteed C atatit for Helm a Itefttge, to - by a in pre- ma p GreenWaY.

If these grants be ad ded a proportion of the amounts spent priyately, then a very much larger sa,ving, can be shown. It must also be borne in mind that the present systetrx is very unsatisfactory and. insufficient Under it one munieipalitv frequently must care for the poor of another, but with a House of Refuge the burden evould be equitably borne. At present many deserving poor realy sutler rat- her than go to jail, whielt might be their fate if they applied for aid. 'Your attention is also directed to the constantly increasing n umber of those destitute and partially insane persons who by law are made wards of the county.. This present seesion. four new applications are being made, and the Treasurer's estimate for this kind of relief is largely increased. These parsous coul?be cared for in a great majority of cases much better and more cheaply in the House of Refuge. In all the counties where such Houses exist these persons are committed to them. This item of expenditure in the near futtue will, we are afraid, assume yery large proportions, It adds a very considerable amount to the sums given above as the sums spent in charity by thie county. Houses have been established in the counties of Elgin, Waterloo, York, Lin. eoln, Middlesex, Norfolk, Welliegton and Welland. According to the re turns sent to the Ontario Government, these houses contain 779 initiates. Of this number' 420 were over 60 years of age, and 122 children under 15 years of age. The number is made up of petsous helpless through aiseast, acci- dent or mental infirmity. It will thins be seen that the very large portion of the inreatee ave. thtough age unfit to care for thereselyes, and bereft as they nearly alvvays are of persons Able to ca,re for them, without the presence) of ahonie must suffer severely even when granted the nittnielpel awl charitable aSSIStatIOI commonly given.
