LILO Speuk6f Inc COmmlCC66 was not
ava Of the wages for cook being included in
the contract with the Inspector if it is so
there can be no objections against it remaining
az it is for the present and the Committee
withdraws the amendment.
The Governor: It is 30.
End Member for Christiansted's Country
District Dummy said he had been informed
by the Inspector that wages for q cook
are mentioned in his contract.
The Chairman: would bog TO ask if the
Government receives from the Inspector of
the Prison a yearly report of his uncertain
income. the same as is exaoted from every
official in receipt of uncertain revenue. AS
regards His Excellenoy's remarks about the
difficulty of getting another Inspector, in the
event Of the present contract ceasing, would
beg to say, that with the amount of fixed sala-
ry and all the purquisites, there would be q
hundred applicants for the post, which is con-
sidered q good post.
The Speaker AS regardthe csrtman he had
noticed that in Frederikstsd the prisoner takes
care of the cart himself, and no objection aris.
cB.
The Governor: did not think that the
Council should by its vote approve q principle
like that of d prisoner being in charge of the
cart and working animal, there would be no
guarantee against abuses, especially against
escape if it is to be used it must be according
to circumstances, and II similar proceeding
is used i'll West End there must be special dir
cumstances allowing of it; anyhow to make it
obligatory would not be possible. 1t must
not be forgotten that the prison ut Richmond
IS at some distance from the town and we must
be careful in not giving the prisoners chance,
to transgress. He could not accept the a.
mendment but would have to protest against
it.
The amount to strike out the wages Of the
cook 996 p. a was withdrawn; the amount to
strike out S48 for q cartman was adopted with
s votes (none voting against), and the Money
Bill for 96l8.60 was adopted with 5 votes.
