REMARKS

81" ItAA~'s
l. This proposal is framed according 10
representation from the Policemaster
IN Frederiksted When the telephone
is placed SO, that it is accessible for
the functionarias, the Policemnster
can not use it without being heard by
the passers by in the street.
II. The Inspector Of Customs has re-
ported, that the amount granted for
procuring Of protocols etc. will be ex-
ceeded with about Frcs. $50.
III. Payment for extra turns with the
mails during the financial year will be
about Frs. $3.50, and the amount
granted Is therefore likely to be ex-
ceeded with about Frcs. 1000.
The increase of the number of sub
scrlbers has necessitated considerable
expenses for the establishment of new
lines and for procuring of materials,
wherefore it will be necessary to IN
crease the capital invested.
The amount III question should be
curtied over to the telephone fund
and installments aud interest be paid
according to the rules for the means
already belonging to it.
". The Road Commission has reported
that a part Of the public road near
Orange Grove be changed so, thaj it
is carried higher over Orange Grove
land md avoids the gut. The neces-
sary piece of laud Can be purchased
for Frs. so and the work is calculated
to cost Frs. 200.
It has been found reasonable, th
the Colonial Treasury pays this ex-
pense, rs it is not 6. matter of repair. Z
V. The excess of the amount granted
for maintenance is due to an excess of
the humber Of calculated sick days to
the number of actual sick days and to
the high prices on food stuffs.
The excess of the. amounts grant
ed for servants hire at Peters Farm
and Frederiksteds Hospitals is due to
information received from the Minis
try Of Finances, thatSthe former prac-
tice, to let the reconvaloscents take
part in the performing of such work,
which according to the judgement Of
the physician could be performed by
them without i%njuring them, ought to
be given up, and that work ought not
to be performed here by the patients
to any further extent than Mt the hos
pitfalls of the Mother Country.
The expense caused By this change
has been fixed according to represen-
tation from the Hospital Commissions.
The expense for Medicine is calcu-
lated to exceed the grant with about
Frcs. 1000.
The number Of inmates at the Leper
Asylum has throughout the year been
about SO, while the calculated number
was only 81. This circumstance and
the high prices is the reason for the
excess of the grants for maintenance
and weekly pocket money.
The reason for the excess Of The
amount, granted for divers expenses
is. that it has been fixed without re-
gard to the head nurses telephone,
granted by additional money bill 10
the budget for the financial year
1914-15.
VI. On the basis of the expense for me-
dicine for paupers during the past
part of the year, the expense for the
year is estimated to exceed the grant
with Frs. 10000.
The reason for this excess is partly
to be found in the extraordinary con-
ditions caused by the strike.
VII. The grant for ~victualling in the
prisons is estimated to be exceeded
