contents of the report aud to the lst discussion,
under which the President had expressed that
he would have no objections to The matter being
so arranged that the detailed rules on the porter
establishment be left out of the Ordinance and
embodied in Regulations.
1st Member for Frederiksted (Sarauw) ex-

Board mentioned therein, comes into ex-
~istence; but we need not wait till then. as
5 ID of the present Colonial Law provides,
that the Colonial Council, besides its legislative
authority, shall also partake in the administra-
