five years from the first day of January now last past, and thence until the end of the then 
next Session of the Provincial Parliament, and all the provisions of the said Act, shall 
apply to the said appropriation as hereby continued; the said Act, with the exception of the 
provision limiting the duration of the said appropriation, having been and being hereby 
declared to be permanent.

ment of the Civil Service, which he may think most expedient, as a Branch of such Depart- 
ment, of which the Director of the said Survey, and his Assistants shall thereupon become

inated by the said Director subject to the approval of the Governor.
