RIDING TO SCHOOL
Government Subsidy Rates
As mentioned in the 'Magnet' last week children
who travel to school on horseback or by vehicle
are to be granted subsidy in future by the
Department of Education.
The rates of subsidy as specified in the
Education Gazette, the official journal of
the Department, are as follows: - for one
child conveyed to school either by vehicle
or on horseback, 4 pence; for two children
of one family conveyed by vehicle or on two
horses, 8 pence; for three children by vehicle
or using three horses, 9 pence; this is the
maximum daily rate for any one family group.
In cases where more than one child rides
to school on the one horse only the rate
for one child will be paid. The new conditions
will come into operation on September 10th.
