themselves according to allotment. He
had understood His Excelkncy TO allude
to the case where an estate is divided into
smaller pieces after the general allotment
has taken place ;......he was not sure
that he had understood His Excellency
correctly
The Governor was sorry he had perhaps
not expressed himself distinctly. He
meant to say, that if a property having
road-work to perform should be sold out in
small portions of land, it might become
difficult for the Commission to have t. do
with so many individuals when alloting
the work or afterwards. Take for instance
an estate, having say . acres Of land and
belonging to one person; in time to come
it might be pOrtlOned out in pieces OF 20,
10 or 5 acres or less, and belonging to 40
or 80 ditfe u emit persons, and finally a time
will come when the estate will disappear
as such altogether.
The Speaker had understood His Excel
lency i'll the way explained; but he could
not see that difficulties could arise in the
instances alluded to; for, whenever a pro
prietOr divides his estate into smaller pOr-
tons, to be owned by several other parties,
the rOad allotment must remain with the
original proprietor, until other provisions
are made by the road Authorities. 1t
seemed to him that the Road Commission
has authority, when requisi!e and when the
fact is perfectly established, to make II
subdivision Of the allotment. 1t did NOT
appear necessary to have a special enact
ment for the case.
LIST Member for Christians eds Ountry
District (COulter) said it would no doubt
be an easy matter for the Commission TO
alter the allotment after the division of he
property. If the work should not be done
by the new holders, the Commission must
have it done and charge the parties.
The Speaker thought that it might be
advisable to give an express authority to
the Commission to alter the allotment
before the period in which it is to be valid
expires. This would seem to be all that
is required.
2nd Member for Christiansted's Country
District NelthrOppI said the estates from
which the portions OF land are sold could
turn over the allotment prOportiOnately on
those portions. The pieces of land sold off
are frequently not even named; how could
they be designated
LIST Member for hriStianSted Willard
should suppose that the easiest way to get
over the matter would be to give the
Commission power to change the allotment
as often as the Els states change Their bound
aries, and the allotment goes over then
from the main estate to the several owners
of detached lots. In the case of Renters,
the allotment remains with estates. When
ever the estate disappears entirely, of
course the minor portions will have come
in its place.
4th Member for FrederikSted'S Country
District (RdphdeD could not see how it could
be done except at the expiration Of every
. years term. Suppose only the half of an
estate be sold off, TIL area is to be allotted
for road work according as there is cane
land or land in other cultivation; but to
do this every time q small piece of land Of
a few acres is sold, before even it is seen
what it is to he used for, before the general
allotment, seemed to be not quite easily
practicable.
The Speaker pointed ont that there would
only be question in such eases of an indi-
vidual re%-allOtment, not III allotment for
other estates.
After a few more short remarks, the
amendments to Chap, Ill. Is s 1922 new
were adopted ell bloc, and the several
sections so amended adopted tacitly.
The Chairman placed Chap. V. Ito be
altered to w under discussion $ 23-S 30
with the amendments of the Committee.
The Speaker: Most of the amendments
proposed refer to the change of the term
"Quarter- Officers" to Road commission etc.
