The Colonial Council Of St. Croiz.
No discussion on the question of the
Excise duty itself could be allowed. If the
Council adopted that the question of the
Rum Excise for 1909-10 be taken up for
consideration, the matter would be p!ac d on
the Order Of Day for the next meeting;
if such be not adopted by the Colonial
Council, the excise duty for 19o9-10
remains unaltered.
On the matter being put to vote it was
adopted with 9 votes (none against) that the
question Of alteration Of Excise Duty on
Rum for 1909-10 be taken under discussion
in the Councils Meeting 10Th inst, the
Order of Day for the Meeting is at present

1t will be seen that the Excise for AnriI
and May has given a much smaller re-
venue than that Of the following months.
the cause of this is very easily demonstra-
BILE, namely, this, that the Rlmsbonkoen-
ers in the latter part of the fhancieI
year 1907-08 became aware that after
ia 1905 the Excise would be raised and
therefore they withdrew from their RIM
stock considerable quantities Of tbair
Rum, on which they paid the excise.
1t would therefore be the most correct
method TO ,oaTe out these two months Of
the calculation, and from the same reason
the amount Of Consumption for 1907-O8
should be reduced with the 1000 Gallons
in question. The result will then be that
for 9 months, or three quarters of q wear.

be enforced on Cotton Growers by Law !;
and hitherto we have been greatly Deepen
dent on and connected with the English
Islands IN this respect, There is in his
mind no reason why w should not now also in
this respect follow the same footsteps. Then
again Climatic Reasons do not altogether
favor the same rules here as in those British
Islands if we take for instance Barbados,
we hud there that more rain falls than
here, hence it is easier there to regulate the
different agricultural operations IN those
Islands, the climate here being more
uncertain. The Agricultural must Of ne
cessity regulate his operations according
to the weather occurring, and he cannot be
guided by request and unalterabIe rule
indeed it would be hard and next to imposB-
ible and we may see it almost always SO
that whatever are the laws you make,
the enemies of the plant, whatever it may be,
set them aside. In Northern Climates,
with severe Winter Season can not kill out
all the pests that trouble plants.-But, more
over we have to recognize the right of pro-
porty owners have the right under funda-
mental law to cultivate their property as they
like, without being subject to any rules Of
interference or restraint on these grounds,
more especially from consideration to the
small growers, he would vote for the Minori-
TVS proposal.
After some time had elapsed and merely
q few more passing remarks were made, LIST
discussion o the Draft was closed the pro-
posal from the Minority Of TIE Committee
VIZ that the present ordinance be kept up
and enforce the Observance thereof more
stringently at least-;
was put to the vote first; there were
7 votes for and 7 against; the Ch8irm4u
gave then his casting vote against it
aud the proposal was therefore rejected;
the proposal from the Majority OF the
Commits tee to replace the present Or
dinance of LIST April 1903 with an en-
tire new Ordinance, as worded by the
Majority, was then put to vote and
there were 7 votes for it and 7 votes
against it; the Chairman then gave his
casting vote in favour of the proposal.
The Colonial Council had thus with 8
votes against Z agreed that the Ordinance of
l April 1903 concerning measures concerning
diseases in the Cotton Plant in ST. Croix
snall be revised,
2nd discussion on the Draft was fixed for
the Councils next Meeting, which is the o.

CITY COUNCIL
Holds Shortest Session OF
the ear.

Tho shortest session of the city
council that has been held within the
year occurred last evening when the
honorable body adjourned after hav-
ing been in business session only five
minutes.
The reason for such an exceptional
ly short meeting was, that what little
business that was to come before II
had been all prearranged. There was
simply nothing to IL. The longest
part of the session was the reading OF
the minutes and Clerk Tobin put a
double quick on that feature.
An ordinance providing for sup
Elementary appropriation of s75 from
the public service fund TO the safety
fund, was passed. The appropriation
is to be used in supplying batteries for
the alarm control at the Marion fire
department. After discussing minor
points of business for two minutes, the
city fathers all went to the vaudeville
show.
