BUILDING OP COLONIZATION AND MIN- ING ROADS. The Noes °overt...rut rol:ey et °ponies Up New Ontario. The Liberal Government of Ontario has always kept in the forefront its Policy of opening up the new dis- tricts by means of colonization and mining roads. In these regards they have kept pace With the growth of the Province, as the following figures will indicate: Miles of naw roads built, 1872-1894 inclusive, 5,822. (Yearly average of 188 utiles.) Miles of roads repaired during same period, 16,494. (Yearly average of 500 miles,) Bridges built during same period, 28 miles. Total expenditure on above public works, 58,879,700. This large sum is but one of the many substantial returns made to the people from the surplus revenue that, thanks to the able and economical management of the Provsince, has al- ways characterized its Liberal rule. The Boss Geeeroweist and the Supplenten- tat7 Revenue Act. The Ross Government brought be- fore the Legislature in 1899, the Supplementary Revenue 13111. It was passed by the House and in the face of the Most strentients opposition of Mr, Whitney and his followers. Since that time the Act has reali- zed nearly $1,200,000, a legitimate source of revenue that would have been lost had Mr. Whitney had his way. This revenue goes in large measure to maintain' the asylums and public institutions ,of Ontario. The following are the receipts, from 1899 to 1908 inclusive, from the dif- ferent companies affected by the Act: Sundry insurance com- panies * 471,391.61 ...... 218,664.99 Trust Companies 21,550.00 Loan Companies 135,287.89 Railway °ampoules 167,900.14 Street Railway Com- panies 35,484.21 Express Companies 20,991.67 Pullman and Sleeping Car Companies..... 4,687.65 Natural Gas Companies 39,319.92 Gas and Electric Light Companies 37,552.05 Telegraph Companies._ 6,581.46 Telephone Companies28,520.00 31,187,881.89 Bow the Noss Government Has Herwaldod the People's Money. No less than 83 per cent, of all the revenue of Ontario has been re- turned to the people. Out of every 3.100 of revenue re- ceiVad in 1908, the Province spent: About 319,33 on Education. About 318.86 on Maintenance of Public Institutions, About 38.72 on Public Works and About 39.18 on Administration of Justice. About 34.46 on Railway Aid and Anitulties.
