OF THE
COLONIAL COUNCIL
TOEe ST. CROOK.

W l pm. the Colonial Council for St. Croix
held an extraordinary meeting convened by
Government.
All the Member were present except the
Chairman (Shtken,0nn), who III q letter to
the Vice Chairman (CO~lter) had notified
his inability of attending the meeting, at
least the first part of it, and at the same time
requested the Vice-Chairman (CouIt y to
preside 1t the meeting III his stead.
His ExceIlency the Governor (Helweg-
Larsen) ond the Despatching Secretary (Will
Jocobsen) attended the meeting.
In opening the meeting the Vice-Chair-
man (C0aNier) said:
AS honorable members are aware, this
is tie first meeting of this Council since HIS
Excellency's return from the Mother Couu-
try. 1t is therefore my pleasant duty, on
behalf Of the Council, to welcome back His
Excellency to the West Indies, and especial
ly to ST. Crolx.
The pleasure I feel in performing this
duty is, / am sure, not only a true expression
of the feelings of this Council, but of the
whole community, al His Excellency's return.
On former occasions when we have well
coined His iGxcellency on his return to take
up his baif-y early residence i'll st. Croix, we
have lone so because as good citizens we
IRE glad to have our Governor with us, but
l think, Gentlemen, that under existing cir
cumstances in this Island, to-day we extend
our welcome to HIS Excellency Governor
Helweg-Lersen more heartily and more earn
estly than we have been accustomed to do.
Because we know that the time His Excel
lency has been in Denmark, has not been
altogether an easy time for him, and he has
not had q very smooth road TO travel. | will
venture to speak in the language of poetry.
M thar tho tEDcimrOca paih of dallio uoa'' non
the proverbial "bed of %roses," l feel sure,
has been his to experience during his stay in
Copenhagen, and for these reasons we extend
to him to-day a more than usual hearty well
come because W. realize, that he has risen
superior to Ill the difficulties and obstacles
which have been placed III the way of his
return to the duties of the Administration,
and because by his presence again among us,
we feel inspired with greater confidence for
the future.
l express on behalf of the Council, the
hope, that Your Excellency has returned
greatly benefited in health, in spite of the
many worries and a~nxieties through which
you have passed, and that you will be able
to continue to discharge the duties of your
responsible position with your accustomed
untiring energy and u~nfailing interest in the
affairs OF this Island, tor the benefit of all
clssses Of it's Inhabitants.
His Excellency the Governor (Heztceg-
LdrSem): Mr.. Vice-Chairman, honorable
Members! Nothing could be more touching
to me wheE l landed at the Wharf than the
kind reception offered me then, but this has
been surpassed by the warm welcome from
you Mr.. Vice-Chairman and from the Coun-
Gil Members, 1t. is highly appreciated by
me to meet such a welcome and il gives me
