NELSON GOVERNMENT GAZETTE.
I will lose no time in raising the loan you have authorised for the construction of a wharf and dock, with other works in Nelson harbor, which shall be begun as soon as practicable, as part of a well considered plan for the permanent improvement of the chief port of the province.
I will introduce a Bill to the General Assembly to make provision for putting the province in possession of the funds required to carry out the important public works specified in the schedule assented to in your late session as amended in the present one, and will use every exertion, with the co-operation of the other members for the province, to carry the measure through both Houses of Parliament.
A Bill shall be prepared for the consideration of the General Assembly to bring into operation the resolutions you have agreed to for the amendment and consolidation of the Waste Lands Laws.
I will also take the necessary steps to give legal effect to your resolution affirming that the powers delegated to the Superintendent by his Excellency the Governor, under the Goldfields Act, should be exercised only with the advice and consent of the Executive Council—a resolution which has my entire concurrence, and in the spirit of which I have invariably acted since those powers have been conferred upon me.
On behalf of the Province I thank the members of the Council for the great care and attention which they have given to the public business during the Session now about to close.
I now declare this Council prorogued.
OSWALD CURTIS,
Superintendent.
