Excerpt from Speech of the Hon. A. M. Ross, Treasurer of the Province of Ontario: Delivered on the 21st February, 1884, in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, on Moving the House Into Committee of Supply Mr. Ross said - Mr. Speaker, the formal motion which it now devolves upon me to make, that you do leave the chair to enable the House to go into committee for the purpose of granting the supplies necessary for the public service of the ensuing year, is, under our system of parliamentary procedure, the occasion on which it is the duty of the financial officer of the Government to lay before the House a full statement of the financial position of the Province, as well as of the estimated requirements of the public service for the current year. This I shall endeavour to do as shortly and explicitly as possible, and, if my explanations and illustrations are not as full and interesting as I would wish, the House Will, I am sure, take into consideration the recent date at Which I have assumed the position of Treasurer and that necessarily the larger part of the receipts and expendi tures of the past year have not come under my personal supervision. I shall first lay before hon. Gentlemen the receipts and expenditures for the past year, the details of Which they will find in the public accounts Which are placed in their hands then I shall direct their attention to a statement of the assets and liabilities of the Province on 31st December last, and finally bring before them the anticipated receipts and expenditures of the current year, 1884.
