port of the select committee on live

Of 1884 provides efficiently for the

sidered with the bill.
Rep. A. S. Wilcox presented his
minority report of the select com
lni,tee on the bills for re-establisll-
ing the Office of Governor and pro-
vidlng for their duties. As mem
her of the Legislature of 1887 he
was doubtful of the wisdom of the
hill To abolish the office of Governor,
believing that under the system
then existing the change was unde-
sirable. "But the bill was passed,
and other offices were established,
and for three years the public affairs
of the several islands have been
conducted under the new system.
The new arrangement has become
so firmly established and has worked
so well that it does not appear to he
for the public Interests that arhangc
should he made NJ this time. The
duties formerly performed by
the Governors, and those sought
to be established by the
bills now under consideration,
have been divided and assigned to
other offices, and in some respects
the public service las been bcne-
flied. The assessment and collec-
ton of taxes have been performed
with better results, and the public
roads and highways have been bet
ter cared for. The Sheuffs, who are
responsible for the police of several
islands, now have more complete
control of the officers and the service
has been benefited. Furthermore,
to make the change now proposed
will involve considerable expense,
which seems unjustifable at present.
Frequent changes in the system OF
public administration are undesira,
BILE, and rs there appears no sufli.
cient cause for re-establishing the
office of Governor ut this time, ]
recommend that both of the bills re.
ferred to us he laid on the table"
