PROROGATION OF THE
PROVINCIAL COUNCIL.

SPEECH of his Honor the Superintendent on the Prorogation of the Twenty-first Session of the Nelson Provincial Council, on the 1st June, 1871:—

MR. SPEAKER, AND GENTLEMEN OF THE PROVINCIAL COUNCIL—

I congratulate you upon the large amount of important business which you have transacted in a session of less than ordinary length.

On behalf of his Excellency the Governor, I have assented to the following Acts:—

"An Act to repeal the Executive Government Act 1870, and to make other provisions in lieu thereof."

"An Act to promote the safety of persons travelling on public roads."

"An Act to amend the Dog Nuisance Act."

"An Act to repeal an Act for the management of the Nelson Hospital, and to make other provisions in lieu thereof."

"An Act to appropriate the Revenue of the Province of Nelson, for the Year ending the 31st day of March, 1872."

I will endeavor to procure the passing of measures in the General Assembly providing Courts of Appeal from assessment under the Country Roads and Town Improvement Acts; authorising the raising of a loan of the sum of £30,000 for the extension of Waterworks and the establishment of Gasworks in the City of Nelson, secured upon the local rates; and securing the freehold to lessees of Crown Lands, upon the conditions embodied in your resolutions.

I will also seek the assent of the Gener 1 Assembly
