would point out that such an offer best showed
what kind of work we would get by accept
ing tenders.
The Speaker But is the Inspector to
have the work by Contract?
The Governor No, not $50 that the profits
are his and the losses too; not contract by
which, like others, he is to make money.
The Speaker said he believed it to be q
foregone conclusion, that if the Inspector is to
have the work done in this way by people on
days time, it will not be lone in time, and
before he finished, The work will have become
a big item, and q waste CT money too. He did
not entertain the same belief that the Inspec-
tor is better able to do this work than any
other man who has made roads here repeat
eddy, and he would beg to call attention to the
Williams Bridge" where you won't scarcely
find a vestage now (The Gooernor was it
done by Lieutenant -Jorgensen-0
4th Crownmember (DitIeu8en) The bridge
at William" was repaired some few years
ago, he could not say if it was done by Lieu
tenant J6rgensen.
The Speeker: Then at Grange Gutter.
1st Member for Frederik8ted's Country
District (Russ8W There arc 2 or 3 such
works done by the Lieutenant he could add
the pavement at Grove Place, which we know
gave riso to dissatisfaction. He was sorry to
find His Excellency opposed to competition
on occasions Like these, q thing which is the
rule every who're else it is no wonder we
are going back here il this place.
4th Member for Cnristjansted's Country
District (Didrichsea): When this matter was
under discussion in the Road Commission and
the question Of the Road North Of the Fort
came up, it was decided to recommend that
the Bridge and tho road there be postponed
for another day, and that the amount esti-
mated for those works be used for the other
necessary repairs Of the roads. The expense
for the said Bridge and road at the Fort will
be enormous, and Estates can really not afford
to pay now allowing even that the work was
necessary.
The Gooeraor. The suggestion from the
honorable Member (Didrichsen) to leave ont
the work at tho Bridge and the Road Is the
Fort and asa the amount estimated for that
work toward The Road repairs, cannot be a,-
oeptod by Government. 1t is a strange thing
to expect that when $500 are proposed for
certain particular works, that then one import
ant part of those works shall be left ont, and
the money be applied for another purpose. ~,
there is one offer row. and there can BE no
question of any other.
LIST Member for Frederikstod's Country Dis
tricS (RusSeH SAID he could not see what
strain of logical reasonings or what considera.
tons would lead Government to exact Of par
ties to pay for what they do not want, Tor
what they DO not see the fointest apa X Of
utility, compared with other urgent objects
that are left mdone. We arc asked for m
opinion, and when that opinion ~.. we
see just the very reverse beng done to
what we recommended. These Roads h 2o
been suffered to remain unattended t1
for length Of time, and there are those who
have suffered greatly through that delay VI
wearo called on to pay, and we are not even
allowed to have a word as to what we can A.
ford, what we consider necessary, and who
is to do the work, although itmight be done
cheaper and as we'll by other parties. We are
indeed now in a very sad plight with those
roads, and we must of course have communiea-
ton.
The Governor Tho best way to get out Of
the plight is to accept the proposal.
The proposal for a Committee Of > Members
was adopted with against 8.
The election came on later in the meeting
