Assembly Proceedings. Official Report. Bengal Legislative Assembly. Tenth Session 1941

1941

From all parts of the province comes the cry of dead and dying rivers of water-logged areas of inundation by saline water—bheels to be drained canals to be rexcavated spill areas to be provided for the resuscitation of dying rivers—measures on which depend not only the fertility of the soil but also the health and the life of the people. [...] Before discussing the details of the estimates for the coming year I must present before the House a picture of the accounts of the year 1939-40. [...] This improvement of a crore and twenty lakhs is the net result of the following factors :— An increase of 61 lakhs in the opening balance ; a decrease of 15 lakhs in our revenue receipts ; an increase of 31 lakhs in our revenue expenditure ; and finally an improvement of a crore and five lakhs in the balance outside the Revenue Account that is to say in the working of the Capital and Debt Depo [...] Prior to the.coming into force of Part III of the Government of India Act 1935 certain items of expenditure as for example the compensation payable to the Corporation of Calcutta under the Bengal Motor Vehicles Tax Act were "non-voted" in terms of sub-section 3(iii) of section 72D of the Government of India Act 1919 which exempted from the vote of the Legislature any expenditure the amount [...] is due to the anticipated employment of the emergency force throughout the coming year as against a few months only in the current year ; and also to an increase in the training reserve in the rank of SuInspectors of the Bengal Police.
