4. Coulter.
The Chairman said he was Chairman df
the Committee, but as he now was Chairman
of the Council, he would ask the hon. 2nd
Member tor Christiansted's Country District
armstrong; to Introduce the Report.
2nd Member for Christianst eds Country
District (ArmStrong) introduced the Re-
port.
The Chairman remarked, that he was not
very qualified to Judge about this matter
he could only say, that the Committee had
followed the list made out originally by the
Committee elected to prepare the Ordinance
OF Trades and Occupations for discussion.
He, for his part, believed that hucRsters
business should be limited to quantities.
lst Member for Frederiksted's Town
(Codter). When the report circulated, he
noticed with establishment the ve1y few adj
dltions and alterations made, it struck him
as very strange; if they were allowed to sell
onIy what was mentioned, it was an injustice
to the hucksters. He would mention differ
ent things, that he found were omitted,
Why noe tea, coffee, sweet oil, spices, black
pepper, yermicelIi, macaronj ? Why alone
behring's, not picked behring's, ham ? Smoked
sausage: why not picked sausage q? 1t was
too Ions a Ii t to so thu ou3h, why not sell
everything, only not unbrokeu packages,
and not larger quantities than 10 lbs ? He
Lad consulted with the most OF the mer-
chants in Frederiksled, and the opinion of
them all was, that n huckster could sell
whatever he liked Of these kinds, but only in
limited quantities.
There were plenty of different people,
whose work was out Of the towns, as mana
gers, oyerseers, clerks etc, why should they
not be allowed to buy +. inst. u box Of sar-
dimes fOI their breakfast =?
