III. THE EXPENDITURE.
The Honey Bill I. The Superior local
Administration, B +.
For "extra writing, stationery and mes
SengerS' wages &C., in the Government
secretary's Office" it is this year proposed
that there be granted ST. $50, while last
year only 81, 800 was allowed for that
purpose
In the course of the deliberation with
the Governor on this point the Committee
was informed, that the Secretary's Office
considers that less than 1850 would not
suffice this year; that any how there will
not be used more than what is strictly
necessary, and that next year a detailed
statement will be given of the amount
required.
We therefore recommend that the
amount now entered, not exceeding S1,55O,
be granted for this year and temporarily.
The Money Bill Y. The Judiciary and
Police Department d 3.
The Sub-Item 1 "For Office expenses for
the Offices of the Judge, the Recorder and
POlicemaSter in ChriStiansted" is this year
entered with 1920, or with $12O more
than last year.
In the deliberations with the Governor
on this point the Committee has been
informed, that in the Judges Office the
work is so very much i'll arrears i'll various
respects, that in order to work up those
arrears it will be requisite, at all events
for this year, to provide an additional sum
of 3120 for extra riting-wOrk, over and
above the customary sum of 1850 p. a.
As it is necessary that the arrears i'll ques-
ton he worked up as speedily as possible,
and as it can not be denied that the work
to he performed on the whole, and especial
ly the duties as Military Judge, is Of n
more extensive nature in ChriStiansted'S
Judges Office than in FrederikSted's, we
recommend, that the sum entered in the
Draft be granted temporarily for this
year.
In the remarks TO the sub Item 4 d.. of
the same Money Bill ", is entered for
keeping horses for the Police Sergeant at
Kingshill for - months S160'; consequent
~ pr. month $13.335, while last year only
$3.50 pr. month was calculated for that
purpose. For this year only IL times
$12.5O, or $3.50, ought therefore to have been
entered.
In the deliberations with the Governor
on this point he has agreed in the Commit
tees view; and we therefore propose that
this item be reduced with SO or to a total
of $3.50, and that the further necessary
alterations in accordance Herewith bemade
in the Money Bill.
In the Remarks to Sub-Item 5 "Various
minor expenses at the Policeof1ces &C."
of the same Money Bill V, is entered an
amount for "procuring dog-signs and
poison.
rs the Committee must decidedly disre-
commend the use of poison as the means
of getting rid of stray dogs having no
signs, and as it must be presumed that the
owners Of the dogs pay for the dog
signs delivered to them, we beg to propose
hat the said item $40, be struck out, and
that the further necessary alterations in
accordance Herewith be made in the
Money Bill.
The same sub Item 5 shews furthermore
that ''inventory, lighting the guardhouse
&C.. at Kingshill" has been put down with
$1l5. In the deliberations with the
Governor ON this point the Committee
has been informed that this year there
