pier or wharf at Frederiksted. He said that
having received a report that the wharf had
been damaged by the recent heavy seas at
Frederikstsd ne had made an inspection OF II
and had found that the sea had torn away the
wood work around the edges of the wharf,
which wood work was fastened in by iron
work. and that the tearing out OF this iron
work I'D damaged the masonry somewhat.
Besides this. the masonry in the southwest
corner had given way, and this was because
the wharf had not been completed, a large
opening having been left to receive she crane
thai was to be erected on ths wharf. The
crane had arrived, but was found toibe damag-
cd, tho large wheel being cracked. This
wsuld b. remedisd, and IN the mean
time the foundation for the crane would 90
put in. He believed that the damages could
be repaired and the wharf completed without
exceeding the amount of $4,000 which had
been granted Tor the work.
A discussion followed, in which soms OF
the members expressed the view that the
wharf had been constructed on q wrong prlnci-
pie for itS situation;that it should NOT havs peen
a solid structure, which could never pe inade
solid enough on q sandy bottom ~ withstand
the occasional heavy seas IN an open roaasteso;
it should have been, like the old passenger
wharf, that haQ De@n TeWOV@us md0T Va WV"

The discussion was finally stopped by the
Chairman, who remarked that the matter was
not on the Order Of the Day, and that it
would be better for members who wished to
have the matter further discussed to bring 1t
forward by an interpolation to the Govern
ment.
His Excellsncy the Governor had left in
the sarly part Of the discussion.
After the closing of the discussion on the
wharf question, the single item on the Order
" the Day was introduced, namely the con-
t%inuation + the first discussion On the Draft
of Budget, with 'the Report submitted by
the Committee appointed in connection there.
with. The discussion practically resolved
itself into a discussion on to whether the Com
mittee's report should be adopted or not. The
report gives reasons for declining to vote on
the Budget and concludes with a rscommen-
dation to members to abstain from voting.
In the preliminary part Of the meeting a istter
from the Government on the subject lad bean
read, wherein the Government dissuadss the
Council from adopting the course recommend
cd by the COMMITTEES.
A lengthy discussien followed, and the
Committees Report was finally adopted by 4.
the members, except the four crown members
present, who vot ed against it.
