C-SCHOOL FINANCES
The school corporations of the Province of Quebec are obliged to
make an annuai report ta the Government concerning their financial
operations or transactions. When the information is not forwarded
within the proper delay, the schooi inspector of the district is authorized
by law to caU upon the secretary-treasurer at fault and his travelling
expenses are borne by the school corporation. These statements are
prepared under the direction of the Bureau of Slatistics and show
receipts and disbursements and a full statement for the year ending on
the 30th of June. The ordinary revenue is made up from the taxes
levied on propel'ty and from the monthly fee payable for ail children
of school age. In certain municipalities a special assessment is added
ta the annual tax. A portion of the amounts received is supplied by
grants from the Government. These ordinary receipts do not cover
the cost of administering the sc1100ls throughout the Province. Recourse
is often had ta long or short, term loans to meet the cost of buildings
and repairs necessitated by the incl'eRse in the number of school
children. The credit of the sohool corporations has not however been
impaired as may be noted by the following statements. On the 30th
