PROCEEDINGS
OF THE
COLONIAL COUNCIL
INOER 81. GROIN.
Continued from 1oj& No. I6.)

3rd Member for Christiansted Country
District (LeprY) meant, that when the quar-
ter lines were made away with, q place
should be fixed where to begin and maa-
sure. Ii You measured from East End
across the Island it might be unjust to
some. He would propose to begin the
measurement from the centre of the Island,
from Kings Hill.
4th Grown Member (L9r0etz) did not
find the whole arrangement just; when
there was n gravel pit near by 1t was very
we'll, but it happened that some estates got
roads to repair at a long distance from
their land, f. inst. Big Fountain; I'll the
repairs of the road were laid on the plant
ers alone, but they were not the only ones
that used the roads, they were Just as
much used by people from the towns.
His ErceHeaeY answered thlt, as he had
remarked, the Committee and the Govern
ment had found out, that to rearrauge
the whole Road Department would lead to
no result now, it was possible to come to
a result with these minor points, and he
would advise the Council to limit itself to
the proposals laid down in the Daft.
His Excellencv was not sure whether
he comprehended the non. 3rd Member for
Christiausted Country District. 1t seemed
to His Excellencv that if the measurement
took place from the east end Of the island
to the west, and you stick to the roads as
near us possible to each estate, there would
be no injustice, and the result would be
the same, wheresoeyer you cook your start
ing point.
Bird Member for Frederiksted Country
District (L.4h4rD remarked, that it was Il
duty to give each man roads rs near as
possible to his estate, and explained why
Big Fountain according TO its peculiar
situation in the quarater had got road to
repair SO far away.
There was another question he would
call the attention to. The Road Inspectors
got payment, the ROAD Commissioners got
none. If we now were to apprai5a the
land, we had to pay the members of the
Road Commission for their work, We can
not do without them.
lst Member for Christiansted Town
(Stqkemana) called the attention to s s of
the Draft, Bird section, whore the English
text was correct: Before the 18th July in
the year in question etc - but the Danish
text had Linden hvert Aars I5de JUL etc.

Aars 15de JUL etc"
