expenditure side we find charged up
the amount of those moneys that
are used in the cliffcrent depart-

they were improperly placed there
and they will not form a part of the

I submit. Mr. Speaker, that there
are at least two items there that are,
improperly included among the rev-|
enue. I refer first to page 19 of Parisi
l of the Public Accounts, dealing
with revenue under motor vehicles
and gasoline tax. We have here thc
net revenue under the Motor Ve-'
hicle Act, $138,710. The amount thati
is carried into the list of revenues on
page 6 is larger than that; it is|
$145,995. The difference is made up of
certain expenses which are included
and to which I do not take any ex-

_ There was a. time when so-called
I. 0._U.‘s were used, when the mon-
ey was never properly set aside but
was left in the current revenue and
used there. But that timehas passed
and today this Province is living up
to its own laws so far as that is con-
cerned, and therefore that money
does not go into current revenue but
is invested at once. It is not for the
use of this Government at all until
it is.finally used for the purpose of
paying oil” the bonds for which it
was set aside by an Act of this Pro-`
vince.
Therefore I maintain that this
$21,250 is included improperly in the
revenue and it cannot form a part
of the surplus which has been boast-
ed about and over which all this fuss
and smoke has arisen! So there, to
begin with, is just a, little fire!
tApplausci.
More Improper Accounting -
Take the other amount found on
the same page, the sinking fund de-
rived from gasoline tax. $8.500. The
same argument which I have alreadyl
