as to cover such event, and then while r
the instances mentioned in all the olhe
sections except 5 38 it is left to the Supe-

tons arising, it will in the instance treated
of in s 80 be the Government of all the
Islands who will have to give the decision.
BY superior Authority" is OF course not
meant any subordinate Authority such as
Policen,a sters and Collectors, who are CO.
ordinate; appeal can not be made from one
to the other, AS it would seem that the
honorable Member dewitt had sup
posed.
2nd Member for Frederiksted's country
District (HsVitt) said he thought that the
Draft does not read to the effect so ex-
planned.
The Secretary said the term might i'll
case of doubt be altered TO "the Govern
ment'' thrOu -hOut the Drafts.
9Th ;rownmember Kalmerl said: The
honorable GOvrrnmentSecretary had al
ready referred to the fact that these
Drafts now before the Council had previous
ly been sent to the Policemaster and the
Kings Physician for consideration, ana
the Secretary hal also mentioned that
either Of the two officials might find rea-
son to say a few words on the Drafts. AS
he IKalmerl saw that his honorable Col
league in the Commission (HanschellJ
made no sign to rise III the matter, ne
had taken precedence, and would beg TO
offer Il few remarks. And it stands TO
reason that his first duty is to recommend
The Drafts to be adopted by the Council.
When the honorable Secretary in introduce
ing the Drafts mentioned thar it WAS the
fear or dread of the Cholera last year hat
had given rise to the working out Of the
Sanitary Regulations for this Island, that
is true; but whether the appearance OF
Cholera was dreaded or not, Sanitary Re
gulatiOnS ought to be provided for the Is.
land the absence of hem has been long
felt, and it appeared to him that there can
be no doubt but that these Drafts will re-
mpdy the want. He would on the whole
recommend the Drafts; but it stands to
reason that when they were sent to the
two Officials named for their consideration
there would always be some points which
they thought should be otherwise than III
the Drafts, but these We're but minor
points some of hem were mentioned in
the Report and some of the alterations
SUGGESTED have been embodied in the final
DRAFT, o, hers have not. He would now take
this opportunity to call attention to ! few
of those points and which he would like IT,

same time he would touch on some other
points of the Drafts. Firstly then in re-
gard to the Members Of the Board of
Health, it is stated in 5 2 that he Board is
to consist of The PoIicemaS en- OF each town
as chairman, the Kings Physician, or in
FrederikSted the Public Physician, and
4 other members, of whom two are elect
ed by the superior Authority and two
10y the Colonial Council for ii term of
4 wears at Il time. He should have felt in
clined to propose that the Board, besides
the two permanent Members. should con.
SiSt Of the Inspector of Buildings also as a
permanent Member. The only reason why
he did not propose it was, that there is but
one Building Inspector OH the Island, and
hence he could only be a permanent Mem
Der in the Board for ChriStianSted'S Town;
but the presence in the Board of that Off
cial will soon make itself felt as Il neceSSi-
ty; and he would now call attention to that,
as the Government might have it i'll its
power to add the Building Inspector as a
Member for ChriStianSted, while in Frede-
IikSted perhaps som one might be found
suited to fulfil his particular duty i'll he
Board. Then s, 3 clause, provides that
''wellS and ~ciSternS must be provided with
a border sufficiently high to prevent acct

they may be kept free from all impure
