Manning, Ontario Coun- nty clerk treasurer and Mr. "They will be right out from under it." Mr. Markson said the savings| in Oshawa would be $21,100 for the juvenile and family court, and $9,300 for magistrates court. The large portion saved will be county expenses. Not all of the savings will be jin phase one of the provincial takeover. Debenture payments {for the county - courthouse |Oshawa's share is about $50,000 -- will be one of the last ex- penses assumed by the prov- ince. There will also be a $19,000 saving in Oshawa's share of debenture on thecounty jail. Oshawa may, however, save justice and the share which the county and surr ing munici- Larry Michael, 124 Brock St., palities are paying. These will be based on figures for 1966 and estimates for 1967. The province starts paying) the salaries on Jan. 1, 1968. The } AMENDMENTS | The takeover of the cost of land and buildings as with the other phases, will involve amendments to the present leg- islation, and will be the most difficult to negotiate. Much of the Ontario County Courthouse is used for the ad- ministration of the county af- fairs. Thus the building will not) be entirely taken over by the province. An appropriate per- centage division will be agreed upon in negotiations.
