selves for 10 years, then also the guarantee
should be for 10 wears, and that improvements
will be made also on that field, possibly the
same system might not be found available.
Now, he would willingly entertain this idea;
but then he must also point out, that no Cen
trail Factory here can be established without
provisions for a reserve fund be connected
Herewith, which fund will be on hand,
SO that if improvements become necessary,
there would always be means to effect them
whereas now, although all agree that
improvements in our manufacture are ne
cessary, still sufficient means to carry them out
are wanting. A Joint Stock Company will
also be able at a subsequent period to raise
money easier than private parties can BESIDES
which it must be remembered that q large busl-
ness will be moro intimately connected with
European experiences, and will be more able to
follow the improvements which are daily intro
duced in machinery there, t~han.the individual
proplietors here.
Bird Member for Christiansted's Country Dis
lrict (C0alter) had not had the intention OF put
ting any amendment concerning q guarantee
limited to ten years. After what he had learned
from the discussions since he made his remarks,
lie now waived his objections.
2ud Member for Flcderikstod (Fa6ey) had
heard Il great deal spoken about The risk IN

tee but from all what he had heard he could
come to no other conclusion than that all who
have an interest in the Central Factories would
be taking upon themselves a very great response

come now to the point where we must either
say Yes or No; he considered it a duty of the
Council to vote the Draft.

trict (F1eming) would beg to ask His Excellen-
CIV What influence CT effect 1t would have to
postp0ue the matter for a short time! lie had
heard a good deal said outside Of the Colonial
Trcasury's guarantee, and that We ought not
to go hurriedly into it. Aud, for his part, be

constituents might with reason enquire why he

his properties; and on the other hand he
would not like to vote against the

The Governor could not consider it advisable
10 defer the matter, because it Las already

DEFEND on the patience Of others for such a
length of time it would not be possible to keep
IN sufficient interest abroad in a matter, which
from the outset could not reckon on much in

matter is of such vital importance that the c8-

an interest in the matter, still they can't under
take it now, but must wait till other times,
which would be identical with a retraction on
their part in fact limitations ofa tendency in
that direction are not wanting, and such q re-

show our readiness and promptness. As re-

about his awkward position to his constituents,
he could not understand how this could cause the
Member any uneasiness his constituents must
