PROROGATION OF PROVINCIAL COUNCIL.
ADDRESS of His Honor the Superintendent when Proroguing the Provincial Council, 14th June, 1864:—
"Mr Speaker and Gentlemen of the Provincial Council—
Having now arrived at the conclusion of a long and important Session, it becomes my duty to thank you for the earnest attention which you have bestowed upon the various subjects which have been submitted for your consideration. I have also to thank you for the provision you have made for the conduct of the public service during the current financial half year.
In my address to you on the opening of the present Session I gave much prominence to the financial position of the province—a position resulting solely from the non-sale of our loans; and I alluded to the possibility of the Government finding itself thereby placed in circumstances of no ordinary difficulty.
Those circumstances of difficulty have occurred, and have been met—the critical point of our position has been reached, and I believe I may say, safely passed.
The experiences which have lately happened to the Government will, I feel assured, prove of permanent benefit to the country. We can now see clearly the dangerous position from which we have narrowly escaped, and we can also distinctly recognise the source of our difficulties.
With this knowledge, neither the Provincial Council nor the Government will in future be likely to fall into the error of sanctioning a large expenditure upon the basis of unnegotiated loans.
In addition to the various Bills to which I have already conveyed to you my assent, on behalf of the Governor, I now, on his Excellency’s behalf, assent to the following Bills:—
Kerosene and Paraffin Oils Ordinance Amendment Ordinance, 1864.
Police Regulation Ordinance, 1862, Amendment Ordinance, 1864.
Hawksbury Runs Lands Ordinance, 1864.
Southern Trunk Road Lands Ordinance, 1864.
Kaikorai District Roads Lands Ordinance, 1864.
Anderson’s Bay District Roads Lands Ordinance, 1864.
Tokomairiro District Roads Lands Ordinance, 1864.
Dunedin Building Ordinance, 1862, Amendment Ordinance, 1864.
Taieri Districts Roads Lands Ordinance, 1864.
Northern Trunk Road Lands Ordinance, 1864.
Turnpikes Ordinance Amendment Ordinance, 1864.
Caversham and Green Island Districts Roads Lands Ordinance, 1864.
Provincial Public Notices Ordinance, 1864.
Bread Ordinance Amendment Ordinance, 1864.
Appropriation Ordinance, 1864.
