He is 60 wears old. His average income
during the last 5 years has been about
1900 Frcs. He has stated, that he wishes
to come under the provisions i'll regard to
pension contained in the school ordinance
of 10th May 1912. The amount saved for
him is 3,747, for which an annuity for his
life time Of Frcs. 324. IS may be acquired.
As he has done very good service for
about 20 years it is considered reasonable
to fix the pension, which he can expect
according to the said ordinance, at such
an amount, that this added to the annuity
will give him a yearly income of half the
said average income, Frcs. 1920 or FrcS.
LOO.
As he only left his native island St.
Vincent, when he was called upon to take
over u situation under the school-depart-
ment here, it is considered reasonable to
grant his petition, to be a lowed to enjoy
the pension at st, Vincent,
r. Sick-nurse Ritzber9e has resigned
his position from 31st March a. c. and,
supported by a Doctors certificate, applied
for a yearly allowance. He is 55 years of
age. His income is Frcs. $50 a year. AS
he has done good service for about 23
years, a yearly allowance of Frcs. 800 is
considered reasonable.

mended it for favourable adoption.

the pension for tencher Jacobs and spoke Of
him in highly appreciative terms for his long
and much valued work i'll the School.
The Chairman (Hakmer) WAS happy to see
that the hon. Members apparently had ex-
huusted their oratoricnl powers and would
now close 1st d scuSsior.
With Governments and the Councils CON
sent 2nd Discussion was opened.
No one demanded the word.
The Draft was unanimously adopted.
Item g.
Interpretation from 5th Grown Member
CLnrsen):
Is the Government willing to give the
Council eIucidations concerning the at
tacks on Peters Farm Hospital which
of late here and in Denmark have been
made by certain parties?

as the Vlce-Chairmu1 ~(SegeIcke) was absent.

think that it was necessary to enter on an
explanation of the cause of the interp llation
we all knew how detrimental it has been for
the public.
Ills E.cceHe~cy now took the word and
said:
Already in the last meeting I was request
ed to give n statement Of this affair, but |
did not consider it right to state anything
at that time. Having seen the stir this mat
ter has called forth | now find it right to
give q statement MS the examination has
proved that the whole attack in all essentials
has been perfectly unfoundod, unw"rrant-
able and unjustiied.
First l shall m%eHtion, that the use OF the
pqtients work is in accordauce with a rule
laid down for all the Hospitals both III St.
Thomas and in ST. Croix, SO the officials have
only done whit they ought to do. L VIII
