to-

of the finances permitting, this Colony is willing to make the sacrifice of

Revenue which would

result by the reduction of the postage of letters by

all routes to a universal

rate of 2d.

The Acting Postmaster General has furnished

me with a report showing the Revenue of this Colony

would sustain a very considerable loss by the

proposed change, and I have, with the advice of the Executive Council, decided to lay Your Lordship's despatch and Mr Travers' report before the Legislative Council at the earliest

opportunity, with a view to the question of whether this Colony can afford to make the sacrifice referred to above, being referred to the Finance Committee for

their advice.
