NNRAo " GAANA LIN v
mamder IS to be betrayed By Estates:they NAV
send carts and working animals. and thereby
can al or comparatively all cash outlay be
aNoldtd. In making a plan for public assistance
IN TINS work the Government had to 90 out
from the necessity Of having sufficient access
from that side 70 the [ Wn Of Frederiksted.
ana that such access would be for the be-
neht rs we'll OF the estates as Of The town pro-
pie. AS Tor the Estimates. he would repeat
that II the Woi he commenced now they will
most IlkeIy hold good; the Building InSpec.
lorS estimates DO A. q rulc hold good. with
regard to the final sentence in the remarks
"that unavoidable expenses in excess of the
eS inmates VIII be deblteG to the Quarters" he
would eAplaln the meaning Of it. Ii is clear
MI Il me estates IN the two Quarters are
Wiling and ready to facilitate tho road re-.
pairs. Tor instance BY delivering cart work
when necessary, then ii is more likely that tina
expenses can be kept within the estimates than
II the estates do not show such readiness and
IN case the estimate should be exceeded from tbe
want OF such help from the estates as It i H.
their power to give, then il is but natural tb,t
the quarters themselves should Day he ex-
cess.
But should some new calamity occur ow.
ing to natural events, Then Government Womb
be ready to help in the necessary as ii the
present instance.
Bird Member for Frcderihsted's Country
District (Herjth would before the Council nra.
coed TO vote beg toimpress that the Roadbold.
ers in West End Quarter never were rosnon
slbIe tor that part Of the Road in Question and.
never can be responsible for the filling mn of
the pond. Estates need no new road tina ola
one Is quite sufficient if the Governments from
other considerations want the new rood and
the pond filled, tile public Treasury must find
the means altogether. Then again, if the road
IS to be repaired, those parties who have cut
the piles and removed stones must replace
themat then expense. And it cannot be seen
what part OF the materials on hand ara TO i've

remarks. If he had made himself thoroughly

Ord Member for Frederiksted's Country
District (He~1H) In so far as the Members
OF the Road Commission have been blamed, he
would beg now to state that the Commission
got the papers on this road work before
thsm all IN Danish the Chairman Of the
Commission did his best to explain and
translate them, but certainly no real detailed
ana hnal opinion can be based on such an
investigation or dolberation. and if the Com
mission arrived then at a conclusion which
Members afterwards change in the Council,
when otherwise informed. there is nothing
unaIlowable or blameable in that. At the
irSt meeting objections were made to the
whole plan but when afterwards it was
accepted, sure it was liable to Improvement
or REJECTION by those who had to deal with it
after The Councils Majority, and the
Ro'd Commission could reject the whole
thing.
Some few short remarks ensued between
Hewitt and Lunpy as to matters outside the
Council, as we'll as some other Members and
the discussion was closed.

adopted with II votes 4 not ~voting.)
The entire Money Bill for S3. 1898 was
adopted with II votes II not voting, with
