"With respect to the new. grants for the administration of justice, so far as I can figure it in relation to the County of Hu- ron, the following will Ibe the. result. Last year•1n round fig- ures the cost of administration of justice in the county ' was $44,000; the rebates from the Province amounted to roughly $11,000, making a net cost to the county of $33,000, which was levied against the municip- alities. Under •the new system, the county will have to take care of the full cost, which, (based on last year's figures, would be $44,000; the result will be an increase in the county rate to take care of the difference bet- ween $83,000 and $44,000.- To offset this, each municipality will receive $1 per capita of the population 'to meet this extra levy by the county. You will note then that instead of the county receiving $11,000 from the province this year which was paid direct to the county, the municipalities this year will re- ceive collectively approximately $49,000 •(which is the population of the county). The net gain to the county will be roughly $38,- 000.• "In addition to the above the Unconditional Grant, which has been paid -for several years, will now commence at $2 per capita, increasing with the population, Which you will find in a table on page 2 of Bill 103. From this ypu will be able to figure out 4 • a ,t tyour municipality will re- eetve this -year. "With respect to the .Special Educational Grant, the table is set forth in the memorandum enclosed. The former special grants were $6 per pupil for both Elementary and High School. You will note the very great increase in regard to 'High Schools particularly. "There are other increases which I feel it is unnecessary to • go into at this time, but this will give you a pretty general idea. of how it• will affect the individ ual'.mill ratein your district. "There has also been an am- endment to the Municipal Act, which provides that these Un- conditional grants must be ap- plied solely for the benefit of residential and farm property." The ;Special 'Supplementary grants will be paid in 1957: ,Elementary schools $8 ,per pu- ;,oil. ,non1lnuation schools $20 ger pupil; 'High !School and Colleg- iate Institutes $25 per pupil, vocational schools $30. Part 3 of the Bill to Amend the Unconditional Grants Act, provides that, in addition to the $3 per capita grants; explained in Mr. Pryde's letter, that mun- icipalities of over 2,000 popula- tion and not exceeding 5,000, will receive an additional $0.10 per'capita. , PLAN PENNY SALE The Hospital Auxiliary held its regular meeting last Tuesday, when final arrangements for the penny sale were made.
