Speech of His Honor the Superintendent on Opening the Twenty-Sixth Session of the Provincial Council.
Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the Provincial Council—
Being anxious, on behalf of the Province, that the progress of public works should not be interrupted, I have convened this special meeting in order that I may have an opportunity of presenting for the consideration of the Council a Bill intituled
"An Act to authorise the Construction of certain Bridges, Roads, and other Works in the Province of Wellington."
The following Bills will also be introduced, viz.:—
A Bill intituled "An Act to provide for the Management of certain Public Reserves situate in or near the Borough of Wanganui."
A Bill intituled "An Act to bring 'The Municipal Corporations Waterworks Act, 1872,' into operation in and for the Borough of Wanganui, in the Province of Wellington."
A Bill intituled "An Act to authorise the Superintendent to convey a piece of land at Masterton to Her Majesty the Queen."
In addition to the Bills already referred to, resolutions will be proposed for the consideration of the Council, recommending that application be made for grants of certain foreshores, situated in the harbor of Port Nicholson and the Wanganui River, to be made direct to the Corporation of the City of Wellington, and the Corporation of the Borough of Wanganui respectively.
In view of the near approach of the ordinary annual Session, it is not the intention of the Provincial Executive to propose any other measures than those indicated.
I take this opportunity of informing the Council that certain despatches which I have received from the late Superintendent, acknowledging the grant made to him by the Council, and urging the claim of Mr. Walter Buller, will be immediately presented to the Council.
I now declare this Session to be opened for the despatch of business.
WILLIAM FITZHERBERT,
Superintendent.
