Letter - Request for inclusion in Estimates of annual endowment for the city, 1854

Description

Unique IDA-01210648SeriesLetters SentDate29th May 1854Date qualifierexactFormatVolume - Letterpress CopybookDescriptionRequest that the Governor General be pleased to place on the Estimates for the present year the sum of £10,000, being the annual endowment to the City of Sydney referred to in the Financial Messages of His Excellency of 11th August 1852 and 22 November 1852 (Extracts appended). While Clause 22 of the Bill introduced in December 1852 proposed that the sum of £10,000 be annually appropriated from general revenue for sewerage, water supply and sanitary improvement of the City, this Bill was subsequently withdrawn and separate Acts for these purposes were passed, with none containing a Clause granting an annual endowment to the City. The sum of £400,000 authorised for effecting the provisions of the Sydney Sewerage Act and the Sydney Water Act cannot be regarded as an endowment, and is merely a loan guaranteed by the Government. It is hoped that the attached extracts will provide sufficient reason to cause the sum specified as an annual endowment to the City to be placed on the Estimates for the present year. FROM: Donald Stewart, Secretary, City Commissioners Office. TO: Colonial Secretary.LanguageEnglish (eng)Digitised recordYesBorn digital itemNo
