dered why people walking there could not
have the presence of mind to remove those
stones; but he should think that the Police
or the Military, who are so often on the
roads, could have those stones removed, as
they must also be injurious to their horses.
The G0tetnOr said, in reply to 9TH Crown
member (halmer), that he did not think
the question of tree-planting belongs to
either OF the Drafts now before the COun-
ell. Section s of the Regulations contains
a prohibition against telling trees or cut
ting branches, thereby the existing trees
are protected but as regards the planting
OF trees, that must be left to private par
ties those alongside the road belong to
HE Public, and should be replcnished by
the Public. With reference to the remarks
from the hone urable Bird Crownmember
tFaber) he would beg to point out that
there is a mistake in the English %transla-
ton; III the Danish text the prohibition is
against nails or other refuse iron, fragments
Of glass; but not earthenWare these latter
are ottentimeS good materials for road re-
pairs, glass not; it was never intended to
exclude earthenware. If such fragments
prevent or ObStrUct the use of the roads,
then they will como under the range of
Section Z. In so far as. the honorable
Member thought that the Police or Militia
~ Patrols could remove the Instructions
offered 10y loose stones on the roads, he
(the GOvcrnol) was afraid he could give no
promise; section 7 provides for this case,
and if distinctions Of the kind can not be
assembled to any one, the Road Authorities
mus have them removed. Any arrange
ment in the way indicated by the honoura-
bic Member would only prevent tie proper

them.
3rd Crownmember (FaJcrJ had perhaps
not expressed himself fully but he meant
that it should be the Road Authorities, and
Ire had added the Military because they
use the roads so often and must expert
emce the trouble to which he alluded.
lSt C~rownmcmber (QWin) thought that
the case in view would be thoroughly met
by the clause i'll 10, providing that
Large stones occasionally lying loose on
the driving way are to be removed and
placed with the reserve materials"
LIST Member for ChriStianSted Willard
said he presumed there would be no differ
ence of opinion that instructions of any
kind on the roads shall in all cases be re-
moved by the Road Authorities, and sub
SequcnIly holding those who are response
bic in the event of tranSgreSsiOns. The
cases men toned by the honorable 3rd
Crownmember TFaber would appear to
come under the head Of distractions.
2nd Member for ChriStiansted'S Country
District (COuiter) would, with regard to the
reserve heaps on the roads, say he thought
they should not be kept there, but removed
to some convenient place il is incOnve-
nient to have them on the roads, as, for in-
stance when a Wagon and a large carriage
meet on the road, those heaps might be in
the way, and then, or even in dark nights,
cause damages. In Europe such heaps are
never seen, as far as he knew, on the roads,
but they are kept ON some waste patch
near by.
The Gorernor said that he perfectly
agreed with the honorable 2nd Member
for UhriStiansted's Country District Coul-
teri that reserve heaps should NOT be-
placed on the roads, if these are not broad
enough. In this respect he had 10 call at
tentiOn to an omission in the English Trans
lation; in the Danish text it is provided
that such heaps should be kept along the
road aside where the breadth of the road
allows of that, and of course, wherever
else practicable.
No one required the word further.
The lst Discussion on both Drafts was
closed, and they We're referred to the Com
mittee who had reported on the Draft OF
