Legislative Council on the 19th Instant They have been generally approved here, and I trust that they may eventually turn out beneficial, not only to the Revenue of the Colony, but also to its
Frade, and general prosperity .
In
my
Report accompanying
the
Colonial Blue Book for 1846, I had occasion to state that the Revenue had increased, rather
from the improved productiveness of existing imports, than from the enactment of
new ones.
As the best practical proof of general progress, I have now the satisfaction to state that this favourable indication continues, and that on the 5th and 19th Distant, the Licenses for salt-weighing and for quarrying granite, were sold at the under- mentioned improved rates, as compared with the
1847
last year. Salt-weighing $5,400.
1846.
$4,000.
Quarrying...
$2,700..
$2,100.
