themselves, and that the Province will reap the full market value of its lands.

You will be gratified to learn that I have succeeded in obtaining from the Mutual Investment Society a loan of £35,000 on security of the land in process of reclamation—an amount which will enable me not merely to defray the expense of the reclamation, but also to relieve the Provincial revenue of a contribution of some £10,000 towards the cost of the wharf.

Though for the first time during my thirteen years administration of the Government, a change has taken place in my Executive, you may rest assured that there exists between them and myself an earnest desire cordially to co-operate in promoting the true interests of the Province.

Thanking you, on behalf of the Province, for the services you have rendered during the present session, and especially for the efforts you have made to keep the appropriations within the limits of the estimated revenue, I now declare that this Council do stand prorogued.
