VOL. XI. NELSON, TUESDAY, AUGUST 18, 1863. No. 24.
SPEECH of his Honor the Superintendent, on the Prorogation of the Tenth Session of the Nelson Provincial Council, on the 7th August, 1863.
MR. SPEAKER, AND GENTLEMEN OF THE PROVINCIAL COUNCIL—
In closing the present Session, I desire to tender you my thanks for the assiduity with which you have attended to the many important measures that have been brought under your notice, and which I feel assured you will unite with in hoping may, when brought into operation, prove beneficial to the Province at large.
Of the Ordinances passed by you during this Session, I have, on behalf of his Excellency the Governor, given my assent to the following, viz.:—
Waterworks Act,
Country Roads Amendment Act,
Fencing Act,
Scab Act,
Dog Nuisance Act,
Education Act,
Cattle Slaughtering Act,
Appropriation Act.
And I have reserved, for the signification of the Governor's pleasure thereon—
Marine Board Act,
Buller Reserve Administration Act,
Coal-field Leases (Mokihinui) Act,
Cemetery Act.
I shall have much pleasure in giving effect to the various resolutions passed by you whenever it may be practicable for me to do so. In order, however, to prevent disappointment to those portions of the community to which some of them more particularly refer, it is desirable that it should be borne in mind that it will be necessary to their accomplishment that the revenue for the current year should be greatly in excess of my estimate as submitted to you.
Among the most important of the resolutions alluded to is that referring to a survey of the country between the city and the south-western portions of the Province. It appears to me that this will be most effectually and economically done when the explorations, which have been in progress for a considerable time, are completed, and trial lines cut in those parts which may be considered most eligible for the purposes of a railway, as such lines will also be most suitable for bridle roads should the construction of a railway from any cause be found impracticable.
It is satisfactory to me to find that the important subject of the best mode of opening for settlement the south-western portion of the province has received a considerable amount of your attention during the present
