I had been estimated that the new Courts would not be ready at least until 1905, and would not have been possible to mal e a commencement with the new Post Office until the Supreme Cou 't had been removed frous fis present site. For those rea- sons he felt sure that the action of the Guvern- ment would be approved by the Council. As to the site itself, he did not think it would require any remarks from him,, and he was of the opinion that anybody who was acquainted with it would recognise that it was an ideal site for the Post Office. He moved the motion Accordingly.
The Colonial Treasurer beg to second that,
The lion. T. H. Whitehead pointed out that the matter had been under discussion fora con siderable number of yeats, and argued that the Government had formerly thwarted the views and wishes of the unofficial members of the Council. He was glad, however, that they had now seen the error of their ways and had come to a wise decision in the end, viz., to put the new Post Office buildings on a marine frontage..
The Colonial Secretary felt it was only right to point out that so far from the Government having, thwarted the views of the unofficial members of the Council, it was formerly decided by a majority, including un. official members, that it would be advisible to have the new Post Office erected on the site of
the Supreme Court. It was unnecessary, be thought to explain the matter because from the remarks of the hon member it would have been thought the Government had rider rough shod over the views of the unofficial members.
The motion was carried..
