and said, that these grants were only in
conformity with former grants.
End Member for Frederiksted Town
(GoIden) would recommend the grants ex-
cept the one tor the musical instruments.
The other grants were for Public Institu-
tions, but the High School could not be
considered as a Public Institution, it was
a shareholder company. If the money was
granted, the instruments should belong to
the School.
1st Member for Frederiksted (CouEter)
was astonished to hear the hon. End Member
for Frederiksted being against this grant.
In Christiansted they had music, in Freder-
ikated none. Now the Chairman of the
School Board for Frederiksted division had
started q band among the children, every
child could enter the band, and what still
more astonished him, the Speaker, to hear
the hon. End Member for Frederiksted OPP
pose this grant was, that one of his children
was a member of the Band. The Chairman
of the School Board had done much for the
School both by personal work and with
money, and now the intention was to let this
band play publicly as soon as it was sufi-
GENTLY trained. The musical instruments in
question were only four and they belonged
to the School.
End Member for Frederiksted Town (GoI-
DEM remarked that he would only answer
that he had heard from a good source that
the instruments belonged to the individuals.
HIS ErceUency said that the High School
in West Eud did good work and he consi-
dered the item too small to cause the beat
ing of the big drum,
