No. 71

I have the honor to forward an Authenticated and two
plain Copies of an Ordinance of the recent Session of the
Legislature of this Colony, entitled;

No. 24. An Ordinance respecting the Salary of the
Office of Governor.

2. I enclose Copy of a Resolution unanimously passed
by the Legislative Council praying for the introduction of
a measure like the enclosed.

3. I can testify from personal experience that unless
the man who holds the Office of Governor refuses to show
the ordinary hospitality expected from him he must be a
pecuniary loser by his tenure of the situation.

4. I enclose a leading Article which appeared in the
"British Columbian" Newspaper of the 16th March 1865, on the subject.
