H.E. the Governor's Address

At the Opening Session of the Legislative Council

1st October, 1969.

37. Last April, I said I thought it desirable to make progress in introducing a few less controversial but still

important changes in the form of the Urban Council.

Many ideas have been expressed by those interested, and

the time has now come to make a selection between them

with a minimum of further ado, in order to enable..a few

deliberate steps to be taken soon. A number of proposals

are now in a fairly advanced state of preparation for

presentation to the Executive Council shortly; and perhaps

to this Council before the end of the present session

depending on the complexity of whatever actual legislation

turns out to be needed. In formulating these proposals,

account will naturally be taken of the views expressed in the Urban Council's report, so far as it proves possible

to accept them.
