Excerpt from Speech of the Hon. Adam Crooks, Treasurer of the Province of Ontario: Delivered on the 3rd December, 1875, in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, on Moving the House Into the Committee of Supply Mr. Crooks - I propose to Show 3 though to satisfy some hon. Gentle men we should have the money itself or the deposit receipts to produce. The hon. Member for East Grey started this Session under the impres sion that the matter as to the surplus was still in doubt. I desire to re move that doubt, and then I expect to find the utmost cordiality be tween him and me for the rest of the Session. (hear, hear.) I propose on this and all other occasions, in connection with any duty I may have to discharge, to give hon. Members the fullest opportunity of being thoroughly informed in reference to our financial affairs. (hear, hear.) The statements made during the political campaign, that in my position as Treasurer I had endeavoured to sti e investigation, were entirely untrue. (cheers) I state in this House, as I have stated to my friends in South Oxford, that all these allegations were untrue, and had place only in the imagination of my hon. Friend the member for East Grey. (cheers) The Government has invested, as I have mentioned, 01, and the amount on special deposits in the banks on 31st December, 1874, was 69, making a total of 70. The difference between this sum and is explained by adding special payments not included in my previous statement as expenditures, viz.: Railway Fund, 1872, Railway Fund, 1873, Drainage debentures, 22 making an aggregate of 22. This added to 70, gives 92, which deducted from leaves a balance of 08 to be accounted for. But if the Public Accounts Of 1874 are referred to, it will be found that the exact cash balance on current account in the Bank to the credit of the Province on 1st January, 1875 was that sum, and my statement thus proves itself. Mr. Macdougall - Your statement is taken from the Public Accounts, but it is no proof. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
