2nd Member for Fredrriksted's Country
District HewittI /: Under l c. of the Re-
marks is entered salary to the Policeman
having the inspection Of the public street
work a $50 D. M; which is an increased
salary he thought this too high an amount
for work like this, especially when we re-
member that the Chairman OF the Road
Commission, having all the roads of the
island under his inspection, consequently
having a great deal more work TO perform.
gets $500 p. a while this po! ceman is in
receipt of 1892. He could not vote for
this.
The Governor: The salary here men
toned is all what this Policeman gets
the other Policemen are on salaries vary
ing from $50 to $50 for the Police.Service
alone this man gets $50, and he is Police.
man besides being charged with the en-
tire supervision Of the street work. His
salary is posted here, not under the
police"
End Member for Frederiksted's Country
District (Hecittl would urge, that if this
man is Policeman, then he is taken away
from the Police-service to do street
work; he is taken away from the
Police.duties to attend to the other
work, which must occupy him Ell.
tirrly; and the pay is too high for this
work, compared with the salary for the
Chief of the Road Commission.
The Governor said he had perhaps not
explained himself sufficiently the man ip
question enjoys no other pay than these
$50. for which he does the work OF the
Strpet.C commissioner, and besides partakrS
in the duties Of the Policeman. But $50
is the pay allowed the oldest Policeman for
the POlice work alone; hence it can not
be said chat this amount is too high tor
the particular policeman having the street
work and also Police duties.
2nd Member for FrederikSted'S Country
District Hea0iHI considered the amount
too high for tins Policeman anyhow he IL
taken from his Police duties. Rather give
the Chief If the Road Commission Que Or
two hundred dollars more; to attend to the
work in West End streets; it could be
done just as properly.
9TH Grown Member (P tersen): The
Policeman used for experimenting the
street work is fle only one in Frrderlk-
Sted Of the class of policemen, who ny the
Councils vote last year is entitled to the
higher salary of $50; in ChristiaDsted
there are more. But this man acts also as
Policeman besides Street-Commissi0ner ;
at day time he is occupied in Sllpeilntend-
ing the prisoners work, but after that
he IS at the disposal of the Police, the
same as the other Policemen. lie Is III
reality Policeman, but occupied also in
experimenting street works, when such
are to be done, he can also do this work
at the same time as he discharges police
mans duties; the only difference is that
his salary is posted under the Prison De-
partment; but he is classed among the
Policemen, as such and being the oldest
policeman in the service i'll West End, he
is paid $50; but that is then for JOIN
parts of the work done by him.
End Member for Frederiksteds Country
District HeUit did not SO much OBJECT to
the salary, as to the man being taken from
the Police service, there is certainly one
policeman less in the force.
2nd Member for FrederikSted !Br0aonl
could agree with the last honourable
Speaker in the view of economy !; but we
must also look at things iii their other
lights too. The man in question is on
duty at all times, and while doing the
