1t is the opinion of Government that the dis
tribution of the military force in st. Oroix to
three separate stations as determined by Ordi-
rance of 25th March 1872, entails the conse-
quence that the force must in itself be lager
than required under the present circumstances,
or even advisable when we consider the fuau.
cial disadvantages under which The municipali-
ty is laboring in consequence Of the last small
crops. On the other hand, it must not be lost
sight of that circumstances might occur under
which it may become necessary TO command
with short notice the service Of aforoe equal in
number to the present one; and for this reason
Government has not thought ii advisable to
propose at the present moment a definite and
permanent reduction Of the force, but has con-
8idered it sufficient to obtain the authorization
specified in the present draft for ~effecting
within fixed limits a reduction if and when con-
sidered oxpedient, and thereby to cause a pref
ty considerable saving in the municipal expen-
diture, leaving it to be shown by experience
whether such a saving shall be permanent or
not.
For the sake of information, it should be
stated that in the event of the passage of the
Ordinance here proposed, it is the intention of
Government to discontinue at once the two
military stations in question, and to reduce, as
speedily as practicable in view Of the c%apitula.
tions already contracted the force TO a number
which slightly exceeds the force distributed to
st. Thomas, say circa 100 men, counting eff.
GERS, no-n-commissioned officers and privates rs

When the alterations ia reference to the
Military Force on the Island, which the Draft
Of Ordinance now before the Colonial Council
for notifications in the Military Ordinance aims
AZ, are carried into eff ct, the subaltern Officers
aud Ppivates who have hitherto been employed
in the Customs service will no longer be at
disposal for that purpose. The duties they
have hitherto performed under the said d..
p~artment will have to be discharged by civil
individuals, 10 be employed by the Collector Of
Customs, in the same manner as is now the
case in reference to the employees in the Colleo-
tors Offices, and a certain sum must be allowed
the Collectors at each place for wages to such
individuals, to be betrayed from the Colonial
Treasury after previous representation to the
Presidency and specified Accounts.
The Collectors Of Customs have both declared
that when military men are no longer en-
ployed as subaltern officials at the Custom
house, it will be necessary to. provide 2 civil
Assistants each place, and that capable and
trustworthy men could not be had for such stu
ations for less than 5000 or $500 p. a. besides
it will at certain times of the year, be necessary
to employ extra assistance in the discharge
of the duties, for which purpose an additional
extra sum must be provided. Ia accordance
herewith, and under the supposition that the
change abovestated can be carried into effect
by the 1st January next year, the Presidency
has in this Grant proposed the necessary
amount for salaries for the 3 remaining months
Of the Financial year, viz. Salary to an Assist

say 104 men and IA hor8as--ins.ead of the
present force of 1876 men. BY this means a
saving of at least $4,000 p. a. is counted on,
which, however, on account of eventual pay
ment of pensions, and the existing combinations
and contracts, cannot be effected all at once
Instead ofthe present detachment on KingshilI,
two mounted orderlies will be put at the dispo-
sal of the POlicemaster, and a similar regula-
tiOn will be effected in Frederiksted. The
POlicemasters in those 2 places will thus at all
times have at their command reliable mesSen-
gers, who, on the first sign of trouble, may be
sent off to Christiansted in order to call for mil
itary assistance, and such may also be despatch
ed to any part of the island With only 6-8
hours notice. 1t will moreover, by collecting
the military force in Christiansted, be possible
to render the force more effectivethanitis at pre-.
sent, Notwithstanding that the numerical
strength of the force becomes reduced by more
than one-fourth. The military buildings in
Frederlksted can without essential alterations
be adopted for use as sherif's and Police Office
courthouse and prison, part of the buildings on
kingshill may be used as school house and
teachers dwelling, instead Of the school, build
ings at Friedensfeld, for which rent is paid
Cnthe other hand, in order to obtain a proper
and more economical regulation with regard to
~the'garrison in Christiansted, it will be neces-
say to undertake SON building works, regard
ing which Government is at present unable to
speak positively. 1t is however presumed that
1t will be found expedient to fit up the fort as a
barrack, to adapt the Depot buildings as Off
GERS quarters, and to discontinue using the
present barrack-whieh is disproportionately
large and partly out of repair-as military
barrack. This eventuality Government must,

When the Statioa at Kingshil bb dismantled
as a military station, the Presidency c0ntem-
plates to make use Of the present Barracks
til re as apparlmeuts for one of the rural
schools with lesideuce for a teacher, instead OF
the buildings now rented for the latter purposes
at Erieden,feld The expenses for making
the requisite alterations Of the building are ID
the estimate by the Inspector Of Buildings,
and which is now on the Councils table,
calculated at. SIo.4o
The two mounted O. derlies and the small
military force, which might temporarily be
ordered out to Kingshill, may be located in the
Under-oficors mess-room the " Brandstue,''
aud in the room now used as the Provision
Shop. The stalls may be used 10 common
by the military, the police ana the teachers.
For erecting a dwelling for 2 additional
Policemen, an amount of $1,000 was calculated
in the Estimate of Building-undertakings for
the year 1928, from which should be
deducted $50 for a horse stable, which would
not be required now, leaving $940. But
the P~olicemaster at Kingshil has offered to
undertake the erection Of the necessary.
apartments for 4 Policemen for a sum OF
$1,000, provided he can make use OF the
prison ers at the station for the work; and
this sum is therefore here entered.
When the garrison is removed from frederlk-
sted, it is intended to use the Fort as Court
House. The upper-story of the front-buiding
will afford suitable locality for the Judges
Offices, to which will be attached the apart
ments below for prisoners for debt. The
upper story of the, Barrack is intended to
be used as Police-ofice, after the alterations
mentioned 10 the Estimate on the Councils
table have been made, at a cost of ......$74.20.
In the Fort there will be obtained more
prison apartments and of better condition
when the several magazine-rooms are taken

tended for wages to military Assistants at
the C%ustombouseS, nothing could be applied
for salaries to civil Assistants, which would
be a purpose beyond the dictates of the said
Resolution the amount required for salaries
to civil Assistants must therefore be the sub
ject of a grant from the Council. But of the
nbove-named $3.50 there will for the first 9
months Of the financial year not be expend-
ed more than $5lO, leaving $40, SO that
the additional expense under this Grant will
in reality be SO much less.

from a military point of view, make a condition
for carrying out the changes involved in the
present draft, but even if the alteration of the
fort or adding to She buildings of the same will
most probably entail an expenditure of circa
$4,000, it will easily be seen, that, notwith-
standing this expense, the annual savings men
toned above, will be considerable in compari-
son with the present expenses.
Government must, also, make the carrying
into effect Of the present Ordinance conditional
on the adoption of the extra grants submitted
together with the present draft, to wit; for
carrying by private conveyance the mail be-
tween Christiansted and Frederiksted for aug
menting the number of mounted policemen on
Kingshill station for augmented expenses for
subordinate officers of the Customs Department
in Christiansted and Frederiksted for compen-
satiJn to the purveyor for the military forces in
Frederiksted and on Kingshill and for the al
iteration of the fort in Frederiksted so as to
adapt the same for use as sherin's office, Police
Office and courthouse and prison, after which
adaptation the buildings now used for the said
purpose, will be given up as such.

f. On the eventual withdrawal Of the military
detachment stationed at Kingshill it will
be necessary to increase the Police Force
there, as the military men hitherto an
pIoyed in the Police service will not be at
disposal. For the present it is considered
sufficient to increase the number Of Police
men at KingshilI Station with 2 mounted
men for their wages "a $50 pr. month,
there would be required 1892 p. a. 1t will
also be necessary to add SIS monthly or
500 90 p. a. to the wages Of the present
Under-PJIiceman, who is now in receipt Of
SIG monthly, as he III future viii be having
also to discharge The duties of Turnkey,
which will require his presence day and
night as we'll as on hoIy-days. The latter
duties have hitherto been discharged by a
man Of The detachment.

Policemen it is considered sufficient to
allow the Poiioemasler SO 90 monthly or

The contemplated reduction Of the military
force on he Island, as embodied in the Draft
Of Ordinance now before the Colonial Council
for modifying the Ordinance Of 25ta March
1872, concerning the organization Of the
Military Force in St Oroix, will, if carried
into effect, have IS q consequence that the
conveyance of The Mails between Christiansted
and Frcderiksted can no longer be performed
by means of the military it is contemplated
to have the Mails after that conveyed by private
contract. After public Notice from tho
Pro- idency, tenders have been received for
the said business, and the amount Of the
lowest tenler has been taken as the basis
Of he present proposal for the three remaining
months of the financial Year, provided the
change be Effected from the 1st Of January
next year.
The conveyance ofthe Mails WILDE conduct
ed in the same manner as hitherto namely,
every Weekday morning from the one town to
the other, in Post Chpiseg, which after q
short relay at Kingshill will proceed to the
terminus station, and for the rest agrecably
TO the Conditions of Which a Copy is on the
Councils table. The Chaises now in use
may be sold to the Contractor and besides the
sum thus gained, the Colonial Treasury will,
in the event Of the business being done by
contract, save tho amounts that are now
expended Under tie litary Department
for The purchase Of HOSES, as also the
expense for repairs to the yehGlcs and
harness.
