too.
The Chairman repeated that it is dependent
on the free will of parties whether they will be
revacclnated. The misunderstanding arose
from q wrong translation Of the Danish text Of
the second part of this paragraph also, the
words " measures for the revaccination of alp'
might naturally be understood, as if everybody
should ba revaccinated, while the meaning is,
that such measures shall be taken, that every
body car be revaccinated Therefore, for the
whole of this at least, the English translation
could rot be used as a basis for the adoption of
the Ordinance. With regard to the question
who is to pay the fee for revaccination on
Estates, it is very likely that the Estates will
have to pay the small fee. as the laborers
will not be very much inclined to pay it
themselves, aud, as it will always be equal
ly as much in the interest of the Estates as
of the Public that revaccination takes place,
If 1.-THE estate has not made an agreement
with the physician in attendance. the fee Of
II cts. to the Kings physician will have to
be paid. But this would never prove any very
serious item, for allowing that there could be
SO labourerS to be- revaccinated, the expense
would be SO. which could not be expected to
return more than perhaps once in every 10 years.
During the late epidemic here, many
Estates voluntarily made arrangements for
revaccinatiOn, and he was sure that planters
would always be ready and willing TO % the
same again in similar cases.

it is the intention to encourage revaocination,
it should not be lisanoonragel by such a triA9
as the fee Of12 cts, which will certainly be a
drawback and an obstacle.
The President: But where should the limits
be for gratis revaecination 1t could not be
expected that the Physician should perform all
vaccinations without any remuneration.
1st Member for FrfderikSted (SaraWw): 1t
ought TO be at the general vaccination and for
the public pay given the Kings physician -
He woIld beg to call the Presidents attention
to the previous remarks on the omission in s 1
about the physician appearing in time t. vaccj-
nate when it is ordered by the Superior An
thOrity,
= The Presidsnt replied that the presence of
the physician would under thu circumstances
be 0 matter of course.

may be so, but it is expressly stated in the
Law and should be also in this Draft; the
omission might be interpreted wrongly.
The Chairman pointed out that in the Law
FOR Denmark, it IS the Policemaster who can
order vaccination in the case treated of; the
PoIicemaster and the Kings physician are CO.
ordinate OUlClaIS, therefore tnef6 C)ulu De no
order from the former to the latter to. appear,
50 the Law had to contain an order or %iniunc-
ton on the Physician to attend. BY this Ordi.
nance it Is the Superior Authority who orders
vaccination, and who will then also instruct
the Physician to attend. IT the Government
and the Council agree, it might, in regard to
the fee for revaccination, be at once prescribed
that the pay shall always be betrayed by the
Colonial Treasury.
lst Member for Frederiksted TSarauOI said
that he had since examined the law on public
schools in Denmark, and found that 6 wears is
the age when children may be admitted, but 7
is the age when compulsory attendance is in
forced.
After a few more short remarks, the 1st dis
cussion was closed, and the Draft passed to 2nd
discussion.
A proposal from Bird Member for Christian
sted's Country District [Farrelly to refer the
Draft to a Committee of 3 was rejected BY S
votes against 6.
The President promised to provide a proper
translation Of the Draft at the 2nd discussion.
The Council consented with 12 votes against
2 that the memorial from Mr.. j. N. Mossin,
flor assistance from the Colonial Treasury
which had been adopted and introduced by 2nd
Member for Frederiksted's Country District

The President was willing to enter on it to-
day.
Agreeable to Rules of Business the matter was
discussed within closed doors.
