PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS [with reference to Fort Denison]

The Budget debate was brought to a termination early this morning. The
Premier then assured the House that with regard to the projected
Hopetoun-avenue, it was not intended to interfere with the Botanical
Gardens. The idea merely was to make a promenade round the outer edge of the
shore. No vehicular traffic would be allowed. Mr. See promised to make
enquiries into the firing of a gun and the hoisting of the Boer colors at
Fort Denison. The House went into committee of Supply to consider the
Estimates.
