The Presidency's letter with voucher reads
as follows,
TRANSLATION.
The Attorneys of the "St Croix Sugar
Central Factories Co." have under date the
18th instant sent in lbe inclosed memorial,
soliciting that of the public Land situated near
the Estate Richmond a piece, measuring about
q bali Acre (as described on the accompany
ing Chart, bordering up to the Nortbside &C
the public road by Estate Orange Grove, and
between the road down to the Prison and
Orange Groves boundary line,-be conveyed
free Of charge to the Company, for the purpose
OF erecting Juice isterns for the Factory's use.
The Presidency would hereby propose that
the Council, ii keeping with what was adopted
in the Councils meeting Of goth November
last year, gives IFS consent,
that CT The pubic land situated near The
Estate Richmond a piece measutinE about
q half acre, besiles the portion already con.
caded, be conveyed, free of all charges, to

70 have those ci3tcrns elevated somewhat
above tho lower foos Of tho Factory; for
II reservoirs we're to be made IN tho building
itself, thu juice would have to be pumped W,
which would increase the work. 1t WAS
originally intended to erect tho ~cisterns On en-
elevated piece Of the land belonging to the
Estate Orange Grove, but afterwards it was
found best to erect it on the piece of The pubic
land indicated on the chart accompanying the
proposal. The value ofthis little piece of land
is nothing in comparison with the other sacri-
fees which it has been considered right and
necessary to make for the furtherance Of the
object in question. Therefore he would
recommend to the Council 10 give the desired
consent to the proposal that that pieso OF land
be made over to the Company free Of charge.
No one desired the word.
The discussion was closed and the Council
consented unanimously to the proposal.
3. Communication from the President con-
corning the financial state of the Island.

munieation and the remarks connected there
with took place within closed doors.

bers would find on their places copies OF a Draft
of ordinance concerning the establishment of a
Constabulary Force in the Island, introduced
by LIST Member for Frederiksted's Country
District [Fzemtng); which Draft would be
placed on the Order of the Day for the nexs
meeting.
The meeting was closed at II O'Clock.
