Question of Government and Railway Bill Debate in Victoria
The May 7 session centers on the loan bill to fund five million for railways. Curtis moves a want of confidence against the government over the Coast-Kootenay road delay. Opposition figures like Martin and Brown face mixed votes on ownership, while debate shifts to the railway bill and its implications for provincial control versus private lines. The steamer Mantle reports a fire aboard the Bessie near Ladysmith, valued at about 2500 dollars. The second reading of the bill proceeds with narrow support from Hawthornthwaite, Curtis, and S. Smith.
