there was one point more III which he
(Kalmer) also fully conceded, namely that
the present mode of destroying dogs is
cruel and dangerous; cruel to the animals
and dangerous to people, as it might
easily happen that some of the stuff in
which the dog poison is prepared, the so,
called 'fungy," may be left or thrown up
by a dog, and might be picked up by
som child it is particularly dangerous
when it be remembered that it is such a
powerful poison as Strychnine employed;
it is a wonder that no accidents have occur
red. He had nothing further to add to-
day, but could support the motion for a
Committee, by whom further, information
wherever desired, may be attained.
The GOrerRment-SecretaFy said he would
reserve to reply to The many remarks made
by the honorable End Member for Chris
tianSted Lemming either TO an eventual
Committee or at the continuation of this
LIST discussion when he had seen the re-
marks in the Minutes of this meeting, so
much the more as he had on several points
also to confer with the Governor.
3rd Crownmember (HGascheU would beg
to recommend in general the proposal for
an increase of the amount for Office expen-
SEES for the Judges Office in ChriStianSted
it is only for an amount of $40 per month
more and the honorable End Member for
ChriStiansted Lemming will remember or
be aware. from his position as lawyer, of
the Inconvenience arising at present from
its not being always possible to get press
lug writing work in the Office expedited as
fast as required, and it is so particularly
to lawyers however, further details could
be given to the Committee, if required.
18th Member for FrederikSted'S Country
District III. Wilson, said, he for his part
quite agreed with the remarks from the
honorable 2nd Member for ChristianSted
ILemming for it is incumbent on the
Council to examine everywhere in the Mo
ney Bills where 8 saving can be made, If
only of $40, and to carry it into effect
where it can be done with Justice These
Budgets show plainly enough that we are
not an independent community, but that
We must be begging for means to go on
with our administration expenses and pub
lie institutions from the Home Government.
He would like to make a remark on the
item Of 5000 for travelling expenses for the
lutheran Clergyman in FrederikSted it
has been always and generally supposed
that the amount was intended for the pur-
pose of atfOrdIng conveyance to bury all
those in the country who are attached to
no other religious denomination and
among our labOuring rural population there
are many who go to no Church when
they die, there is no minister OF the Gospel
to bury them all refuse, and if applica-
ton be made to the Police, you are told
to send a horse, and perhaps a Clerk Of
one or other denomination might come out
to bury the dead; but not unfrequently is
it so, that the body has to be inferred
without one single word from any repre-
sentative of the Gospel. This is a fact
known to others besides himself; andit does
look strange that in a christian community
a human body can be buried without a
Clergyman or Il Clerk to say a word
before it is put in the earth. If the amount
for travelling expenses for the Clergyman
as alluded to is not for the purpose of pro-
curing c0nveyanceS just in such cases as
those to which he had alluded now, it
would be better that the amount be struck
out.
The Government secretary would, with re-
gard to the last remark from the honour
able Member who just spoke, beg to OBJ
serve that the item of travelling expenses
for the Clergyman is founded on a law;
but the extent of duties incumbent on the
Clergyman for the sum of travelling eX-
penses, is, he suppOseS, the main point on
which the honorable Member wanted to
get information; he would investigate the
matter and state the result at a later
period.
