Speech of His Honor the Superintendent on Proroguing the Twenty-Sixth Session of the Provincial Council.

Mr Speaker and Gentlemen of the Provincial Council,—

I am gratified to find that the Council has thought fit to pass the Bills as presented to them.

On behalf of His Excellency I have assented to the following Bills, viz. :—

"An Act to authorise the Construction of certain Bridges, Roads, and other Works in the Province of Wellington."

"An Act to Authorise the Superintendent to convey a piece of land at Masterton to Her Majesty the Queen."

"An Act to bring ‘The Municipal Corporations Waterworks Act, 1872,’ into operation in and for the Borough of Wanganui, in the Province of Wellington."

"An Act to Provide for the Management of certain Public Reserves situate in or near the Borough of Wanganui."

I have already expressed my concurrence with the following resolutions, passed by the Council yesterday, in terms of ‘The Public Reserves Act, 1854’:—

"I. That the Council recommends that His Excellency the Governor be advised under the provisions of the second section of ‘The Public Reserves Act, 1854,’ to grant to the Mayor, Councillors, and Citizens of the City of Wellington all that parcel of land below high water mark, in the Harbour of Port Nicholson, the boundaries whereof are more particularly set forth and described in the schedule hereto, and containing by admeasurement seventy acres, more or less, for the purpose of reclaiming the same from the sea, and to form part of the estate of the Corporation of the said City."

"II. That this Council recommends that His Excellency the Governor be advised under the provisions of the second section of ‘The Public Reserves Act, 1854,’ to grant to the Mayor, Councillors, and Citizens of the Borough of Wanganui all that parcel of land below high water mark in the bed of the river Wanganui, the boundaries whereof are more particularly described and set forth in the Schedule hereto, and containing by admeasurement forty-eight acres, more or less, for the purposes of reclamation, and to form part of the Estate of the Corporation of the said Borough."

I have this day forwarded a copy of these resolutions to the Honorable the Colonial Secretary, with an intimation of my concurrence therein, and a request that His Excellency may be advised to issue the grants for the purposes referred to in the resolutions.

I now declare this Council to be prorogued.

WILLIAM FITZHERBERT,
Superintendent.
