PROROGATION OF COUNCIL.

SPEECH of His Honor the Superintendent on the prorogation of the second session of the Westland Provincial Council on the second day of July, 1874 :-

"MR. SPEAKER AND GENTLEMEN OF THE PROVINCIAL COUNCIL.

"In bringing the Second Session of the Provincial Council to a termination, allow me to thank you for your hearty co-operation in dealing with some of the important matters referred to in my opening address.

"The passing of the Education Ordinance, I look upon as one of the most important features of the session, and I believe that the measure you have submitted to me as the result of your deliberations is one which will be found to be fair in its operation on all classes of the community, and will enable us to remove one great difficulty which we have labored under for so many years. The Ordinance passed against the Trespass of Cattle will remove a difficulty which existed, and the Hokitika Street Closing Ordinance enables legal effect to be given to action already taken for the benefit of the town of Hokitika.

"The resolutions you have adopted, recommending the borrowing of money for carrying on the most pressing works required for the further improvement of the Province, I will use my best endeavors to have given effect to; and, seeing the care and attention which have been bestowed on the selection of only such works as are likely to be immediately reproductive, I feel assured will have considerable weight both
