The following is the address :—
To the Right Hon’ble William Mansfield Baron
Sandhurst, G.C.I.E
May it please your Lordship,—We, the President and
members of the Municipal Corporation of Bombay,
have the melancholy pleasure to bid farewell to your
Lordship on your return home after laying down the
high office of Governor of this
Presidency
The name given to each of the three divisions of the territory of the East India Company, and later the British Raj, on the Indian subcontinent.
. When five
years ago we had the pleasure of according to your
Lordship the City's welcome on your arrival, your
Lordship in reply very kindly observed that it would
be your aim to secure and maintain, as far as possible,
sympathetic and harmonious relations between
Government and the Corporation. Not even the most
far-seeing of those who were present on that occasion
could have dreamt that this unfortunate City would
pass through such a succession of calamities as has
befallen it during your Lordship's rule. In these five
years, four epidemics of plague and two famines
have ravaged and devastated the City and the
Presidency
The name given to each of the three divisions of the territory of the East India Company, and later the British Raj, on the Indian subcontinent.
generally, but in all the heavy afflic
tions which the people have borne your Lordship
has not spared yourself personally, but by con
stant visits to hospitals and camps and in various
other ways have comforted the sufferers and
encouraged, and inspired fortitude in, the workers.
It affords the Corporation pleasure to thankfully
acknowledge on this occasion that in spite of this
most lamentable visitation your Lordship has amply
fulfilled your promise. We most gratefully acknow
ledge that in the matter of the incidence or Plague
charges and the raising of our Plague loans the
Government of your Lordship has been always
anxious to obtain fair and generous treatment for
the Municipality of Bombay. The question also of
the distribution of Police charges between Govern
ment and the Corporation has, except in one or two
minor particulars, been fully settled.
Your Lordship has developed and enlarged and
brought into operation a scheme (first conceived by
your Lordship’s eminent predecessor, H. E. Lord
Reay) to effect the sanitary improvement of Bombay
and to provide space for its future expansion, and the
Corporation are confident that nothing will give
greater satisfaction to your Lordship than to learn
hereafter in England that the scheme has been carried
out in that friendly spirit of co-operation and har
mony in which your Lordship fully intended it to be
worked, and which is so essential to put an end to
misunderstandings and complaints now prevalent.
The remembrance of your Lordship’s yerv c=-
