refund made the following year to the high school districts to cover the amounts paid by them under the levy under the new act the coat of county pupils is bttt 1 directly against those parts of the county not included m the high school districts ln halton the four townships this will be no real change in the amount paid by any municipality but will be a much impw and more direct method of handling these costs another factor in our decreased rale is the assumption by he pro vince since last march of 7hr full cost of old age pensions and mo thers allowances this has relieved the county of payment of some 15 000 during 1837 and will probably mean a saving of over 830000 in 1038 other social welfare josts are some what higher this year owing to ex tensive repehs at the house of re fuge glooo 00 more than est year was required costs of the childrens aid society slid child welfare slightly higher there was very little change in the amount of hospital accounts a review of some of the other lar ger items in our expenditure might be interesting administration of justice costs have been almost doubl ed this year these costs are always uncertain and were unusually low last year this year owing to a very large number of lnmeis and heavy expenses at both the asahne oourt and sessions they have increased at least is per cent the expenses and upkeep of the gaol and county buildings are also slightly increased this year owing to necessary repairs to the court house roof redecoration of the court room and replacement of certalh equipment it is gratifying to know that the credit of the county is apparently in first class standing for the past three years we have been able to sell five year debentures carrying only three per cent at better than pa this yesrs price of
