✨ Provincial Government Immigration and Public Works
the gradual introduction at a cost not exceeding £100,000 of a suitable class of Immigrants into the Province, in accordance with the scheme already prepared and submitted for your Honor’s approval. Finally, the Executive would strongly urge the importance of such a modification being introduced into the Immigration and Public Works Acts of the Assembly as would enable the Colonial Government to sanction an expenditure out of the Loan of £75,000 for Harbour Works, and about £75,000 for a supply of pure water to the City of Auckland. The proposals thus made will involve, if carried out, an expenditure of about £1,000,000, a sum which, large as it may appear, is not greater than may be fairly claimed by this Province as its legitimate proportion of the £4,000,000 Loan; and the Executive are sanguine that, if expended with care and judgment in the directions indicated, the permanent benefit to the Province will be so great as largely to vindicate the policy of the Government.
