MEMORIAL TO THE LATE PRINCE ALBERT.
In directing the publication of the correspondence on the subject of a National Memorial to the Prince Consort, the Superintendent cordially responds to the call of H. M.’s Government, that opportunities should be afforded “to every class in the British Empire of joining in this tribute of the Nation’s gratitude,” and cordially accepts on the part of the Province of Otago the opportunity thus afforded, of uniting with Her Gracious Majesty in rearing a Monument to the late Prince, which will evince “the love of a grateful country to the memory of its benefactor.”
In order that every class in every District of the Province may have an opportunity of joining in this National tribute, the Superintendent will arrange for the formation of District Committees, to receive subscriptions from 1s. to 5s., and similar arrangements will be made with the Banks, in order that those who so desire may increase their subscriptions, and thus the original object may be carried out, of forming a fund “which may include the pence of the artizan and the labourer, as well as the shillings and pounds of the middling and wealthy classes.”
By order,
THOMAS DICK,
Provincial Secretary.
