wi oNDAY THE 3RD OF AUGUST 1868, II o'clock
at noon, the Colonial Council held a meeting
extra Ordinem.
All the members were present.
According to the order of the day the Coun-
Gil proceeded to:
/, The LIST discussion of a draft of an ordinance
authorizing the Government to enter a con-
tract concerning the establishment of steam
communication between St. CrOlX and st.
st. Thomas.
The draft and the motives run as follows:
"The Government is authorized, when the
contemplated Company styled the est. Tho
mas and st. CrOix Steam Packet Company,
Limited" has been established, to enter a Con-
tract with the Directors of that Company CON
corning the use of the Company's Steamer as
Mail and Transport Vessel between st. Croix
and st. Thomas for a period of 5 years, with a
yearly payment of $4,000, the half of which
shall be betrayed by each Colonial Treasury,
and also to concede to the aforesaid Company
such advantages and immunitieS for the Steam
err on her voyages between the Islands, as may
be deemed advisable and requisite.
The Motives on which the foregoing Draft
is based are as follows:
AS there is reason to believe that the obtain
ing of shareholders in the Company styled the
est. Thomas and st. Croix Steam Packet
Company, Limited" as proposed in the News
papers published in June in these Islands,
would to a very great extent depend upon the
Government being able to give the proposerS
of the plan an assurance that the said Compa
ny will for 5 years receive a subsidy of $4,000
p. a. from the Colonial Treasures as c0mpensa-
ton for the use of the Steamer as Mail and
Transport Vessel between the Islands, the
foregoing Draft is now laid before both Colo
NAL Councils, in order that the Government
after the Ordinance is adopted may have the
necessary authority to enter a Contract with
the Directors of the Company, when it has
been established, and in accordance Herewith
to give the proposers a communication for the
present.
1t is a matter of course, that in the Contract
with the Directors of the Company the necssa-
ry provisions will be made regarding all other
stipulations that may be requisite in the Public
interest, and in that respect the former Con-
, 1868-09-18

on such days when the European packet was
should start f. i. A hours after the
arrival of the latter.
No one requiring the word the draft was
referred for the 2nd discussion.
2, The 1st discussion of a draft of ordinance
for a pension for E. F.. Kirchhoff, former sub
ordinate official at Christiansted's custom
house.
The draft and the motives run as follows:
"E. f. Kirchhoff, former Subordinate Official
at Christiansted's CustomhouSe shall from the
LIST Of July 1865 be allowed a pension of $l20
p. a. from the Colonial Treasury of st. Croix."
The enactments containing in s. 6, 8, and Is,
of the Pension Law of 4th December 1868
shall be applicable to the aforementioned pen
sion.
The Motives on which the foregoing Draft
of Ordinance is based are as follows
f.. +. KirchhOff, formerly Subordinate Off
cial at Christansted's CuStOmh0use, was born
i'm st. Croix in the year 1S00,-in 1917 he
entered as vOlunteer-writer in the Governments
.Secretary's Office, where from 1920 he receiV-
ed a monthly salary of 25 PISS, until June
1887 when he become Clerk to the then Weigh
and Postmaster at ChriStianSted, and he was
subsequently authorized to fill the post until it
was ultimately withdrawn. In 1910 he was
Dy lne government DIS CuDOfNlldlC
Official at ChriStianstedS CustOmhouSe with a
fixed monthly salary of As Ps.S, and in January
.lS47 on the death of one of the Comptroller;
he was constituted to act temporarily as Comp
I%troller, which post he ceased to fill in February
1913 on the final appointment of another person
in the post, and from that he retired entirely
from service in the Custom Department. Dur
ing the last S or 8 years he has served as Il
writer first in the Secretary's Office and after
wards in the Bookkeeper's Office, lately with Il
monthly salary of SIG, until this year when he
had to withdraw on account Of his advanced
age and weakness.
AS he has thus been in public service for a
Iperiod of about 80 years, with exception only
of some intervals when no situation could be
found wherein to place him, and as his age
now prevents him from seeking Othel liveli-
hood, the Government has found that there is
reason to grant him a pension of $3.50 p. a.
from the Colonial Treasury"
According to the Rules of Business s 7 this
case was discussed within closed doors.
The draft referred for 2nd discussion.
