The Resolution of the Government of India, Home Department, Public, No. 2491, dated the 19th July 1905.
Proclamation No. 2832, issued by the Government of India, Home Department, dated the T’ September, 1905.
RESOLUTION
By the proclamation issued by the Government of India on the 1st September, 1905, the Province of Eastern Bengal and Assam has been declared to comprise the territories included within the Chief Commissionership of Assam, together with certain districts which have hitherto formed part of the Bengal Division of the Presidency of Fort William, and in the resolution cited above, the Governor General in Council has indicated the circumstances in which the new province has been founded. By the same Proclamation the Honorable Mr. J.B. Fuller has been appointed Lieutenant Governor of the province of Eastern Bengal and Assam, and by Act VII of 1905, the Bengal and Assam Laws Act, the required legal status has been given to the new administration.
2. The Lieutenant Governor proceeds to appoint the officers who will constitute the headquarters staff of the new Government, and to arrange for the administration of the territories that have thus come under his Jurisdiction. Nominations to the Legislative Council will be made hereafter.
5. The new province has been created with the object of improving the moral and material conditions of over 30 millions of people; and to the responsibilities which attach to so onerous a charge are added the difficulties which must accompany the inception of a new administration. The Lieutenant Governor realises very clearly that success is only attainable if all officers of his Government, European and India, will work together with him for the welfare of the people and the province with whose interests they will now be identified, and he confidently relies upon their earnest co-operation. Not less confidently does he hope that their effort will be appreciated by those to whose benefit they will be directed, and that the new local Government will secure the general goodwill, assistance and support which are required to give vitality to its measures.
Eastern Bengal and Assam,
