economy, and a due attention to the wants
of each department, and are in every respect fitted for the regular and efficient
dispatch of business.
We hold ourselves ever ready to attend
to your call, when matters of importance
should induce you to refer to our assistance,
and shall gladly give the subject of a Railway
from Picton to the Wairau our most
favourable and earnest consideration, fully
agreeing with you in the advantages which
will accrue to the province, in providing
the cheapest and most efficient communication from the port to the interior, placing
it thereby in the power of our agriculturists
and others to compete with other parts of
the colony.
We regard the progress the Province has
made since last we met, the public works,
whether in roads, bridges, or otherwise, as
highly satisfactory, and indicating a sure
and rapid growth in wealth and prosperity,
which has exceeded our most sanguine
anticipations; and we beg to tender our
most sincere thanks to you for the care and
attention you have ever bestowed in the
expenditure of the votes passed at our last
session, and your able supervision and
conduct of the public affairs of this province.
Cyrus Goulter, Speaker.
