✨ Provincial Government Notices
Eight times in the year one vessel might go from Nelson to Wellington, Canterbury, Otago, and Melbourne, returning to Nelson, and on alternate voyages departing from and returning to Otago. One vessel would keep an easy monthly communication between the Manakau and all the southern settlements, including Otago. One vessel ready to take the place of either of the others would increase the above communication, be ready to carry assistance to any port of the colony requiring it, communicate occasionally with other ports, and cost but little when unemployed. Two steamers only could not be depended on to perform regularly what is required of them. Assuming the gross expenses to be £36,000, his Excellency said he had reason to believe that £20,000 might be calculated on at first from mails and passengers.
