SINKING FUNDS.

REPORT AND ACCOUNTS OF THE COMMISSIONERS OF THE PUBLIC DEBTS SINKING FUNDS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH, 1894.

Presented to both Houses of the General Assembly in compliance with the 6th Section of " The Public Debts Sinking Funds Act, 1868."

EEPOET. Wellington, 27th June, 1894. The Commissioners of the Public Debts Sinking Fund have the honour to lay before Parliament their accounts for the year ended 31st March last. The second instalment towards redemption of the Lyttelton and Christchurch Eailway Loan, 1860, amounting to £15,300, becomes due on the Ist July next, and will be duly met. The accumulations of Sinking Fund held by the Commissioners on account of the above loan, and the Auckland Loan of 1863, being more than sufficient to meet the liabilities as they respectively mature, it has been considered unnecessary that any further payments of Sinking Fund should be collected from the Treasury on account of these loans. J. G. Wabd, Chairman.
