CONTINUATION of the meeting Of 9th july
The 2nd member for Christian&ted's country
strict (Ratcliffe), Speaker of the Committee,
ent through the principal items in the report
nd stated, that the revenue OF the budget was
Estimated at $195, 7Sj, but that it would have
10 be put at $4,000 less, if the former principle,
That of taking as a guide the average-amount
# the 3 previous years, had been followed, in
'hich case, a deficiency instead of a surplus
fould appear, the expenditure being estimated
$l94,52O. The expenditure had increased
Fear after year, and it is necessary to intro
luce great retrenchmentS, but this financial
kear is too far advanced in order to obtain any
ling in that direction. But the Committee
s recommended the Council TO request His
kxcellency the Governor to appoint a Commits
lon for the purpose of Investigating the whole
ADMINISTRATION. in order to obtain a simplifca-
ION therein and that a reduction in the expens-
Is may be introduced for the future. He was,
however, of the opinion, that it might possibly
be attended with some difficulty to find MEM
bers sufficiently independent for such a com
mission, wherefore it might be a question, if a
better result would not be attained, if a COM
missary for that purpose be sent from the mo-
thercountry.
) Respecting the amounts of surplus for the
last years the Committee has recommended,
that the Council address an urgent request to
the Governor to effect an imm ediate reduction
in the heavy taxation of the community, and
he was happy that a draft of an ordinance in
That direction had already been entered by the
18th crown-member (Walker), which he trusted

opportunity to support it on account of his de-
The Governor explained the results of the
statement of the accounts for the 3 financial
ears since the Colonial Law was put into
orce, observing, however, that the result of the
Year 1S67-6S for the present could only be
based an a statement preliminarily drawn up

ing closed. The results, compared with the

mont IN the meeting on tne oCn OF AprlI last, C1aC
therein was included $4,000 for the repairs of
buildings in consequence of the flood and the
earthquakes. If, on the other hand, an earlier
period were meant, he would maintain, that a
comparison between the expenditure of the
Island since the 1st of April 1865 with that of
the former Statetreasury and the Landtreasury,
8 a 10 years ago must necessarily go to show,
that a very considerable retrenchment in the
expenditure has been effected, especially in the
Military Department. The former usual amount
of expenditure for the Military Department for
both the Islands was $4,000 annually, which
sum at times was even exceeded, making the
average for the 6 years previous to the emana-
ton of the Colonial Law $l12,S00; but by the
change in the organisation &c, proposed by
him, which was confirmed by the royal rescript
of the 18th of February 1868, the expenditure
was reduced to an estimated annual amount Of
1917, 900, 35 tbs of which or SIS, 200, after the
separation of the finances of the Islands were to
be borne by st. Croix, the remainder by st.
Thomas. This amount has however not been
actually expended, because the total expendi-
ture for the Military Department in St. Croix
in 1906 was only S5l, l0l,-in 1666-67
$5O ,17O. and according to the preliminary
statement for 1867-6S, compiled in the Book
keepers office, the amount is posted with
SAG, TIT; and the result of a comparison with
the older period would consequently be that
while st. Croix's portion of the former Militia
ny expenditure previous to 1862,-estimated
at BIS Of $112,SO0, must be put at SGT, $50 p. a.,
the Islands expenses under that item during
the 3 last years has been on an average
S49,349, showing a retrenchment in the expen-
diture of SlS,33I annually. Add to this, that
when making a comparison between the pre-.
sent public expenditure and that for 10 a Is
years ago, it must be borne in mind, that all
.necessarics of life and the most of other arti-
cles are meanwhile considerably enhanced in
price, and it must certainly be acknowledged
that on an average everything is at least
25 pr. CT, dearer since that period; if nOtwith-
standing the same amount as then is used for
the administration and for public purposes, this
would in reality be equal to a retrenchment Of
IS pr. CT in the expenditure. The natural
result of higher prices, or, what amounts to the
same, the reduced value of money, would have
been an augmentation of the expenditure, as in
many other places, for instance, in the mother
country by increase in salaries and grants of adj
Iditional pay because of the high prices ETC.;
the expenditure in the colonies having been
kept to about the same amount as that in form
Ier periods, this must be attributed to the exer-
lions on the part of the Government to main
, 1868-08-11

IN ORDER TO AVOID excuses. On Jno 0Cllof mana
special attention must be paid to the state
ments of accounts and those for the 3 past
years show on the one side that the total
Revenue for each year has been about the
same, averaging $l90,937, and on the other,
that the amounts of expenditure granted have
by far not been expended, and that a surplus
Amounting to an average sum of about $4,000
ANNUALLY has been attained. The Committee
having advanced, that in order to arrive at a
balance and III calculating the revenue of the.
present draft of the Budget for 1S6S-69, the
Government has deviated from the general
rule Of calculating according to the average
amounts, and pointed out, that His Excellency
the Governor himselef during the discussions,
ION the Budget for IS64-65 did d~isrecommend
such a deviation, His Excellency referred to.
the Colonial Councils most submissive report
on the Colonial Budget for 1S64-65, which
IgOeS to show, that the Council at that time
was of the opinion, that it would be erroneous
Ito be guided Internationally by the average of,
the revenue of the 3 last years, and that an
exception from that rule may be made when
the circumstances at hand afforded sufficient.
reason for so doing. Therefore he can scarce
lily be charged with having made such an ex-
IceptiOn in the present Budget with regard to
the avcrage-calculatiOn, as he thereby has
Iacted confOrmably with the views expressed by
the Council and its Committee at that time. If
the results of the 3 past financial years since the
LIST of April 1860 be closely examined, it must
be acknowledged, that under ordinary cir
Gu instances there is every prospect, that the
financial year 1S6S-69 will not end with a de-
,~iciency, wherefore it would neither be correct
nor to the credit of the Island, if a Budget be
adopted that would show q deficiency on ac-
|count of calculating the revenue according to a
fixed rule without regard being had to the ac-
|tual prospects. The Committees proposal to.
~abrogate the tax on Inheritance (F6rlovspenge)
will be taken into further consideration. The
amount to be paid by the contractor of the
former Steam communication should rather be
posted sub G 5 "Sundry revenues" than sub
item G. 1. He had no objections that the
amount of revenue a~ccruing from the travel
ling expenses to be paid by the Sheriff at Ere
Ideriksted be reduced to $50. The Committee
having so urgently pointed out, that the expen-
dlture has been increasing year by year, and
that if this is to continue it would be impossi-
bic to reduce taxation-(which the Committee
nevertheless subsequently itself proposes on
account of the SURPRISES he was not sure to
what period there was alluded. There could
scarcely be meant the 3 years after the Colo
NAL Law came into force, as the statements of
