VOL. VII. NELSON, FRIDAY, JULY 8, 1859. No. 12.
SPEECH OF HIS HONOUR THE SUPERINTENDENT ON THE PROROGATION OF THE SIXTH SESSION OF THE PROVINCIAL COUNCIL, ON THE 21ST OF JUNE, 1859.
MR. SPEAKER AND GENTLEMEN OF THE PROVINCIAL COUNCIL—
In closing your present session, I advert with pleasure to the large amount of Public Works to be executed during the ensuing year, for which you have voted the requisite supplies—works in extent, importance, and variety far exceeding those undertaken at any other period in the history of this Province. I shall endeavour to have these works carried forward with as little delay as possible; and trust that, from their impartial distribution through almost every district of the Province, the impetus thereby given to trade will, in conjunction with other circumstances now in operation, materially increase the general prosperity of all classes of the community.
I deem it right, however, in reference to this subject, to remind you that the large sum of six thousand pounds, which you have voted over and above my estimate of the probable revenue for the current year, will necessitate my deferring, for some time at least, a portion of the Public Works, till I am assured that the sum referred to will be available.
On behalf of His Excellency the Governor, I have assented to the following Acts, entitled respectively the
Alteration of Roads Act;
Dog Nuisance Amendment Act;
Nelson Institute Act;
Public Cemeteries Act;
Thistle Act;
Hospital Reserves Act;
Cattle Branding Amendment Act;
Appropriation Act;
And I have reserved for the signification of His Excellency's pleasure thereon, the
Nelson Board of Works Debenture Bill;
Naval and Military Settlers Bill;
Land for Compensation Bill;
Compensation for Roads Bill;
Hospital Management Bill.
I now prorogue this Council and it stands prorogued accordingly.
J. P. ROBINSON,
Superintendent.
21st June, 1859.
