Bill No. 82 of 1948. A BILL TO AMEND THE SPECIAL AREAS ACT NOTE. This Bill amends The Special A rea,s Act. Paragraph (

d) of

section is amended to provide that all moneys received from public lands in a Special Area are to be deposited in a trust account known as the "Provincial Treasurer Special Areas Trust Account". A new paragraph (dd) is added to

section immedi­ ately after paragraph (

d) which provides that all taxes and money received from lands other than public lands in a Special Area are to be deposited in a trust account to be called the "Special Districts Trust Account". The money in this account may be expended for any purpose for which expenditures are authorized pursuant to the provisions of The Improvement Districts Act, 1947, or for such other purpose as the Board may direct. The Improvement Districts Act, 1947, applies to Special Areas as if they were improve­ ment districts and the expenditures authorized in that Act are to be made from the trust fund in which taxes are de­ posited. Subsection (1) of

section is struck out and a new sub­

section substituted. This subsection enables the Minister to transfer money from the Provincial Treasurer Special Areas Trust Account to the Special Districts. Trust Account. The use of the two accounts will facilitate the keeping of certain records by the Department of Lands and Mines in respect of revenues and expenditures in Special Areas which it is desirable to maintain. w.
