(6).—Cost of Scheme for 1924.—The expenditure on the Denial Scheme
for 1923 will be approximately £700. The extension proposed for 1924
will involve a further capital charge of £100 and an increase of £370 in the
running costs of the scheme. The capital charge would fall entirely on
the Education Committee, but £90 out of the cost of maintenance would
be allotted to the Public Health Committee. The gross total cost of the
scheme in 1024 would thus be £1,170 (£1,080 to Education Committee,
£90 to the Public Health Committee). One half would be repaid by 2
