Presei1ted to both Houses of Parliament hy His Excellency's Cominamt REPORT OF THE POSTAL AND TELEGRAPH CONFERENCE HELD IN NEW ZEALAND IN MARCH, 1894. H:CLUDING REPORTS OF PROCEEDINGS, REPORTS OF PERMANENT HEADS OF POSTAL AND TELEGRAPH DEPARTMENTS, AND · PAPERS LAID BEFORE THE CONFERENCE. ----, POSTAL AND TELEG·RAPH, CONFERENCE, 1894. REPORT OF DELEGATES ATTENDING THE TNTERCOLONIAL POSTAL AND TELEGRAP~ CONFERENCE HELD IN NEW ZEA.LA.ND IN MARCH, 1894. All the colonies were represented. The Conference sat Oll' the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th March at Wellington, and on the 19th March at Auckland. The principal resolutions agreed to were as follows :- POSTAL SERVICE. CANADIAN PACIFIC MAIL-SERVICE. That this Conference is favofrrable to a four-weekly service (alternating with the San Francisco service) between Australia, New Zealand, and Vancouver, the ;mail-steamers calling at one Tiain port in New Zealand and such ports in Australia as may be determined upon. SAN FRANCISCO MAIL-SERVICE. That, in the opinion of this Conference, it is desirable that a four-weekly sei·vice via -San Francisco be continued, and that strong representations be again made to the United States Government, pointing out the inadequate support given to the service by them, and urging for an increased payment in support of the line; and that further representations be made to obtain a reduction in the heavy overland charges. OCEAN MAIL-SERVICE. That this Conference agrees to i.ihe extension of the present Federal mail­ contracts with the Peninsular and Oriental and Orient Companies for a period of one year from the 31st January, 1895. PENNY POSTAGE FROM GREAT BRITAIN TO AUSTRALASIA. That, with regard to the proposals from time to time made for penny postage between Great Britain and the colonies, and more recently that such be adopted for letters from the _United Kingdom, leaving the rate from the colonies as at present, this Conference, while recognising the desirableness of adopting the lowest possible rates, desires to express the opinion that the heavy cost of providing speedy and regulai' communication does not admit of any further reduction being made at the present time, the reduction to 2½d. in 1891 having resulted in an annual loss to the coloLies of about £40,000; and that the partial Teduction proposed- namely, in the :::ate from Great Britain - would be most undesirable, as such a measure would compel the colonies to reduce their inland and intercolonial rates from 2d. to lcl., involving a probable loss to them of a quarter of a _million per annum, in addition to that already mentioned as the. result of the reduction to 2½c1,; and tlIBt a copy of the foregoing be transmitted to the Imperial Government. ' POSTAL UNION CONGRESS. That the question of the appoinument of a delegate to attend the PostaJ 1J nion Congress at its next meeting be postponed. 11 RACING LOTTERIES. That the representatives at this Conference recommend their various Governments, as far as possible, to put a stop to the transmission and delivery of letters promoting racing lotteries. TELEGRAPH SERVICE. CANADIAN PACIFIC CABLE. That, considering the important interests involved, both of a national and ~ommercial ·character, in the establishment of a Pacific cable, 'the representa­ tives of the respective colonies assembled at this Conferenqe recommend their Governments to consider the desirability of entering into a guarantee with the other countries interested, for a period not exceeding fourteen years, and to guarantee interest at 4 per cent. on a capital of not more than £1,800,000 to any company undertaking the laying ·of a Pacific cable ; the tariff not to exceed 3s. per word for ordinary telegrams, 2s. per word for Government telegrams, and ls. 6d. per word for Press telegrams, to and from Great Britain and the colonies; and that the United Kingdom be asked to join in the guarantee; the routes to be either of the following : Brisbane to Ahipara Bay (New Zealand), Ahipara Bay to Suva, Suva to Apia, Apia to Fanning Island, Fanning Island to Sandwich Islands, Sandwich Islands to Vancouver: or, from New Zealand to Suva, Suva to Apia, Apia to Fanning Island, Fanning Island to Sandwich Islands, Sandwich Islands to Vancouver. MISCELLANEOUS. INTERCOLONIAL TARIFF. That the delega~es to this Conference, recognising the value of decisions arrived at in reference to joint postal and telegraph services, by periodical meetings of representatives from the various colonies, would suggest to their respective Governments that similar advantages in reference to trade relations between the respective colonies in the direction of reciprocity would ensue ir. similar conferences could be arranged to deal with questions in connection with intercolonial tariff. HOUR-ZONE TIME SYSTEM. That it is desirable in the public interests tha·t the hour-zone system should be adopted as far as practicable in Australasia. · That the mean time be the 120th meridian in Western Australia, the 135th meridian in South Australia, the 150th meridian in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, and Tasmania, and the 17 5th meridian in New Zealand. ELECTRICAL. That a vote of thanks be accorded to the committee of experts, and that they be requested to complete their labours by reporting on electric tramways and drafting regulations in regard to electric-power leads generally.

Encouraged by the support of William Sorell, the former Lieutenant- Governor, and Edward Curr, who had recently returned from the colony, they formed the Van Diemen’s Land Company and applied to Lord Bathurst for a grant of 500,000 acres. Bathurst agreed to a grant of 250,000 acres. The Van Diemen’s Land Company received a royal charter in 1825 giving it the right to cultivate land, build roads and bridges, lend money to colonists, execute public works, and build and buy houses, wharves and other buildings. Curr was appointed the chief agent of the Company in Van Diemen’s Land.

  • New Zealand and Australasian Federation, 1883-1901: ANOTHER VIEW*
    New Zealand and Australasian Federation, 1883-1901: ANOTHER VIEW* IN A BECENT article Professor F. L. W. Wood has endorsed and expanded the view that Seddon played a significant role in New Zea- land's failure to federate with Australia between 1899 and 1901.1 Other writers might challenge this view.2 By claiming that New Zealand never came close to federating and had adequate reasons for standing aloof, they have, at least implicitly, down-graded the significance of the part played by Seddon in keeping New Zealand out of an Australasian federal union. It is the intention of this paper to show that the major factors determining New Zealand's response to the federation question were established not under Seddon after 1898, but rather in the period 1883-91, before Seddon's premiership, and that Seddon, far from being a major factor in this response, found his actions largely circumscribed. Although New Zealand stayed out of the Commonwealth, it was, argues Wood, in the balance to the end whether the more marginal Australian colonies would also remain uncommitted.3 The social, economic, geographic, and sentimental factors that prevented New Zealand from federating equally affected these marginal colonies who had as much to lose (or gain) from joining as New Zealand. Wood also maintains that the arguments adduced by New Zealanders against federation (when they were not nonsense) were identical to * This is a revised version of a research paper submitted in 1968 as part of an honours degree in History.

  • The First 100 Years of Tariffs in Australia: the Colonies
    1 The First 100 Years of Tariffs in Australia: the Colonies by P. J. Lloyd University of Melbourne Address for Correspondence: Department of Economics, University of Melbourne, Parkville, Vic. 31010, Australia Phone: 61 3 83445291 Fax: 61 3 83446899 Email: [email protected] 2 The First 100 Years of Tariffs in Australia: the Colonies Abstract This paper reviews the history of tariffs imposed by the six Australian colonies during the 19th century. First, in each of the colonies, it identifies the starting points for the first tariffs, first preferences, and other features and the turning points in the levels of tariffs. It then constructs time series of the average tariff levels in the individual colonies and an average for All Six Colonies Combined. The conclusion notes general features of the pattern of tariffs and how the main features of colonial tariffs carried over to the Commonwealth Customs Tariff in the 20th century. Keywords: colonies, average tariff rates, tariff revenue, protection JEL Code: N1, F13 Acknowledgements. I would like to thank --- Short running title: The First 100 Years of Tariffs in the Australian Colonies 3 1. Introduction The first tariffs on Australian territory were introduced in the colony of New South Wales by Governor King in 1800. Thus there is exactly 100 years of tariff history in Australia before the creation of the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901. This paper reviews the first 100 years of tariffs in Australia. In turn, this 100-year period divides neatly into two sub-periods of roughly equal length; the period of Imperial control of tariff-fixing, 1800 to 1855, and the period of colonial control after the passage of the Australian Colonies Government Act by the Imperial Parliament in 1850 enabled responsible government in the colonies, starting with New South Wales and Victoria in 1855.

  • Recording District Maps and Descriptions; Revised Supreme Court Order No
    /- ALASKA COURT SYSTEM OFFICE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE DIRECTOR No. 64-19 November 27, 1964' ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE BULLETIN TO: All Recording Magistrates FROM: Administrative Director SUBJECT: Recording District Maps and Descriptions; Revised Supreme Court Order No. 12. A careful review of the geographical descriptions of all recording districts has now been completed by the engineer­ ing firm of Tryck, Nyman and Hayes, of Anchorage, and the Supreme Court has promulgated its Revised Supreme Court Order No. 12, effective December 1, 1964. This revision of Order No. 12, a copy of which is attached, replaces the original order and all prior amendments. The revision alters the wording or many of the descriptions to obtain greater clarity and more precise definition, but changes in the boundaries have been avoided as far as possible. Together with this revision there has been prepared a complete map portfolio in which the boundaries have been rendered onto U.S. Geological Survey topographic maps of Alaska. The compiete portfolio includes a reproduction of Order No. 12, an index map of Alaska showing all recording districts, an index map and table showing the sheet numbers of all the detailed maps in the portfolio, and approximately 150 detailed maps of the state on which the recording districts' boundaries are shown. The map portfolio is expected to be ready for distribution approxi­ mately December 31, 1964. Complete map portfolios for the entire state Will be available for public reference at the public law libraries in Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau, Ketchikan and Nome. The complete portfolios are also being distributed to the offices of the Governor, Secretary or State, Commissioner of Administration, the University of Alaska, and the justices of the Supreme Court.
