from Mr T. Whitehead M.P.C. forwarded in your Despatch
No 346 of the 1st Dec'r last;
I have remarks to deal
with most
raised $
19.
of
the
the points
I would only add that
while I fully
I fully concur with
in their views, which
are
shared by yourself as to
pressing on Sanitary improvements in the Colony
as fast
as the finances admit"; but I adhere to the opinion that
or disable
it is not necessary to raise
a Loan for meeting any
404
special Expenditure in the
new Territory, since the Revenue from the new Territory appears likely before long to
be sufficient to meet such Expenditure, & moreover the
Public Works contemplated in
that Territory
are not of
sufficient magnitude or of
such a character as to render
necessary or to justify the raising of
a Loan.
