PROROGATION OF THE PROVINCIAL COUNCIL.
SPEECH of His Honor the Superintendent, on the Prorogation of the Twenty-sixth Session of the Nelson Provincial Council, on the 4th June, 1875:—
MR. SPEAKER AND GENTLEMEN OF THE PROVINCIAL COUNCIL,—
I have assented, on behalf of his Excellency the Governor, to the following Acts:—
An Act to amend the Goldfields Local Revenues Act.
An Act to authorise the Erection of Toll-gates or Bars in the Province of Nelson, and the levying of Tolls thereat
An Act to amend and repeal the Nelson Waterworks Acts
An Act to amend the Nelson Scab Act, 1868.
An Act to amend the Nelson Highways Act, 1872
An Act to appropriate the Revenue of the Province of Nelson for the year ending thirty-first day of March, One Thousand Eight Hundred and Seventy-six.
I will do all that lies in my power, with the co-operation of the other members for the Province, to obtain from the General Assembly the funds necessary for the construction of the many important public works specified in the Schedule, to which you have unanimously agreed.
The representation which you have made to the Hon. Minister for Public Works in urging the completion of the promised re-survey of the Fox Hill and Brunnerton Railway, in time for the approaching session of the General Assembly, will, I trust, have the desired effect.
I will convey to the Colonial Government the expression of your anxiety for the speedy completion of the Water-race from Lake Hochstetter to Nelson Creek, and also that of your desire for the extension of telegraphic communication from Motueka to Collingwood.
Your wishes in regard to the compilation and re-publication of the Provincial Acts at present in operation, in continuation of the work so ably executed by Mr. Sharp in 1868, shall be carried into execution as soon as possible.
On behalf of the Province, I thank you for the assiduity you have shown in the consideration and despatch of the public business.
I now declare this Council prorogued.
OSWALD CURTIS,
Superintendent.
