THE "AVIS."
CHRISTIANSTED, ST CROIX,.

WEDNESDAY, 9TH JUNE 1su.

We will publish a supplement later to-
day, that contains the Official Report ofthe
Meeting which was held at estate Castle
Bourke, on the 9th instant, by His Excel
lency GOVERNOR GARDE, agreeabIy to o
previous invitation to Owners of Sugar
Estates and others interested in the ques-
ton Of establishing a Credit Association in
connection with Central Factories in the
island. Circumstances over which there
was no control, precluded the possibility
of doing SO sooner.
Although the patience of some of our
readers may have been somewhat tried by
having to wait a few days longer for the
Report than was at first anticipated, yet
we feel persuaded that it has not been ex-
hausted. The subject Of which the Report
treats, is of such paramount interest and
Importance for the future welfare Of the
island, that any little disappointment which
may have been felt in not seeing it
appear before, will be amply com
pensated for by it's perusal now, affording
as it does such lucid explanations Of the
entire scheme upon which the islands hope
of realizing a prosperous future depends,
if entered upon with a hearty earnestness
by all parties.

my Royal Resolution of 8th May
ID) last His Majesty has been most
graciously pleased to sanction, that
the authority granted the Presiden-
CIV of st. Croix, by the Additional
Grant, sanctioned on the 18th Au-
gust last year, to the Budget for the
Financial Year from LIST April 1873
to 3Ist March 1874, to use an
amount not exceeding $4,000 Dol
lars of the Colonial Treasury's mo-
ney for advances to some of the
Planters in the Island for Meal and
Money Wages to their labourers in
the period from LIST April 1878 to 28th
February 1874, has been extended,
with the consent of the Colonial
Council given in meeting Of End
March last, for the Month of March
1874, subject to the same rules as
adopted under the Additional Grant.
Which is hereby promulgated ac-
cording to the Colonial Law.

$4,000

At the samo time that these amounts have
been entered for some of the Buildings, no
similar amounts have been entered for others,
although it is reasonable to suppose that such
smaller repairs may become necessary in the
course of the year also for those buildings that
have been omitted the money will then have
to be taken out of the general amount for un.
certain expenses posted sub L'r. T. We beg
leave to draw the attention to the inconsistency
in framing the Estimate for one Building on
one principle, and for another Building on
another.
Sub 7. an amount for covering deficiencies
in the Estimates and for casual repairs is as
usually put down to $500 We believe that
the rule formerly was, to fix this amount to
about 10 p. CT. of the total amount of the EST
mates if that be the case, the amount for this
financial year ought to have been fixed at 5000
or $500 less than has been done. AS there
already has been entered under special tens
for similar purposes nearly $500, we do not
hesitate to recommend that the amount sub
Ltr. L. be set down at 5000.
The total amount of reductions under the
head " Bujlling Expenses" will then be $685.
35, leaving SI8O4.63 out Of $2453.98
Finally we will repeat what former Com
mittees have recommended. that the o~ocupiers
of public Buildings should-within a certain
Iimit-bo authorized to have the necessary
repairs done without waiting for Estimates from
Buildinginspectors or Committees. This would
in every manner lead to saving of time and
money.

The following amendment had been propos-
ed by the Presidency
'"The amount of $419.60 for repairs to the
Hospital at Frederiksted to be increased With
$40 for q new Privy, and the total to be car
ried out with $3.50. go"
The Speaker of the Committee {Hanson) in
submitting the Report to the Council would beg
firstly to state hat the Committee had not
found it necessary to make great alterations in
the amounts proposed in the Building Ins pee
tors Estimate. The Committee had made
some few reductions in various items of the Es-
innate which had been accounted for in the Re-
port, and should now be mentioned with re-
gard to the Barracks at Christiansted, the
amount of $4,000 estimated for repairing a
grape arbor and steps has been proposed to be
omitted, as being useless also atthe military De-
pot Building $4.77 for repairing a shed over the
entrance not requisite the Weigh Office $500,
for repairs to the floor, which the Committee
found not requiring anything, and in fact the
officials there were also unable to shew any de-
feet the Buildings of the Harbour Depart
ment $2O.40 for repairs to a landing bridge at
the Point Battery, which the Committee
thought could be postponed. Then there is the
School House in Christiansted $192.3S in all
the Committee could not recommend the re-
pairs of the servants room in the yard at a cost
of $1,000; what the Committee recommended
should be done was such repairs as are requisite
to keep the building from deteriorating, espe-
cially in view of the pending school reforms,
when that building might no longer be used as
school house the Committee could not recon-
mend the $16,4s for cutters around the SER

CASTLE GARDEN GRIEVANCES.

The agents of the European steamship

performed by the Commissioners OF Emigration.
Among the most grevous complaints is that Of the in
Justice Of keeping the immigrant board the vessel
throughout Saturday night and Sunday In case the

Injustice however Is III the act OF keeping on board

their families. There at present among the steerage
passengers arriving by every steamer "a number OF
American citizens II they arrive here on Saturday
night they cannot 20 ashore till Monday, since the
companies required by law to land all steerage
passengers at Castle Garden. ON Sunday none OF the
CASTLE Garden employees present, and the steamer
The steamship Britannia arrived from Liverpool early
on the morning Of Saturday, July That beng Ma
tonal holiday, the Castle Garden employees were ABSENT
the next day being Sunday, they were also absent.
Among the passengers were several American citizens
who wished to ashore AT the risk or incurring "A
fine $50 each person, the agent allowed TO
land Other similar frequently reported, but
the agents have the right 10 let the passengers
90 on shore without ncurring the risk OF heavy PEN

companies would discharge all their immigrants who
would thus be at the OF an additional day In the

that would be impossible TO receive the Immigrants
without the OF tho entire force and they can
not compel them to work every day in the week.
