Excerpt from Financial Statement of the Hon. T. W. McGarry, Treasurer of the Province of Ontario: Delivered on the 12th of February, 1918 in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, on Moving the House Into Committee of SupplyMr. Speaker, at a time when all the warring nations of the world are perturbed over the financial situation, when many restricting laws are being enforced to conserve the resources which will help to win a substantial victory, I rise to move this House into Committee of Supply with a story to tell concern ing the finances of this Province, which, if it does not meet with the approval of every honorable gentleman here, will, I am sure, commend itself to the people of the Province and guar antee to them a sense of security and a feeling of satisfaction.Perhaps, because we are in the fourth year of the war, and because I am for the fourth time delivering the Budget, it might be in order for us to take a retrospective view of our' finances during the time we have been at war. It has been a time of intense strain and anxiety, and particularly so in regard to the financial affairs of all countries engaged in this turmoil.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
