✨ Provincial Council Prorogation and Notices
way communication between the port
town and producing districts of this
province.
It is my attention shortly to call
you together again. Circumstances
may arise out of the various works
you have authorized which may render
such a course necessary. Meanwhile
there are many indications that the
temporary pressure which our com-
merce has had to contend with is
rapidly passing away, and I therefore
hope soon to congratulate you upon a
perfect restoration of prosperity, and
that at our next meeting the then state
of our province will justify me in re-
commending a vigorous prosecution
of such ordinary public works as
remain to be carried out in order to
open up and develop the resources of
the country.
Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen, I now
declare this Council prorogued until
the 29th day of June next.
William Sefton Moorhouse,
Superintendent of Canterbury.
The Speaker then at half-past 5 p.m.
declared the Council to stand pro-
rogued.
