SdI WHICH u6 TOCOululCuucu'
End Member for Frederiksted's Country
District (SUitzer) said the piece of road in
question had always been a public road,
therefore it should be included now, if by
accident or oversight it had been omitted.
4th Member for Christiansted's Country
District (R0phaeD as acting Chairman of
the Road Commission he would beg 10 ex-
plain that some time ago complaints were
made of the inpossibility of carrying canes
along that piece of road, which is much
used for that purpose and for carting me-
gasS. The state of the road is really bad
and why it had not been included in the
yearly allotment, he could not say, be had
been unable to discover why, enquiries
had led to no result. Still, this road is of
Importance to cane delivererS in that quar-
ter, in fact it is of necessity, hence the
Commission recommended the Government
that it be repaired at public expenses; he
could not understand from the Govern
ment's letter if hat vas intended or not.
3rd Member for C~hriStiansted's Country
District Leecy): If the road be not re,
paired no one could pass there, even if it
be included among the public roads.
3rd Member for Frederiksteds Country
District (Hel0jtD: If the road is public
road, he could see no use in wasting time
to discuss a proposal to make the road
what it is already.
18th Member for Christiansteds Country
District (RaphaeI): Those roads that were
not advertised in the list from Government
in 1884 are not public roads; this piece of
road had been public, but by an oversight
it was omitted in the list of 1884 hence it
ceased to be public.
3rd Member for FrederikSteds Country
District (Hea0it): The List of 1884 REFER
ed only to those roads that were allotted for
repairs but the public has a right to make
use of the roads that were public, and
which cannot cease to be so.
Some further discussion ensued, during
which the Vice Governor stated that if the
piece of road in question be made public
road, it might safely be left to the Road
Commission and Government to have it
repaired.
The Council consented unanimously with
IA votes to give the consent requested by
Government.
