DINGS
OF THE
COLONIAL COUNCIL
FOHS SCP. CROOK.
(Continued from A0js No. 67.)


His Excellency the Governor (HeIDeg,
Larsen). l will repeat now and no more
that the military view on the solution OF
the question must be predominating; the
military experts consider the depot build
inc the best place. If the Council Mem
bers consider it right to take another view
on the matter than the military experts it
must be on their own responsibility.
Besides. the building at the former place
would cost far more, and it did not seem
reasonable 10 ,xpect that the State shall
spend more money IN order to obtain a
less appropriate situation for the barracks
building.
3rd Member for Christiansted Country
District &C. f. LeecU. When the question
came up l held the opinion that the Build
ING Inspectors estimate was
We have had several young engineers com
ing out here and making wrong estimates,
especially the first years before they be-
come acquainted with the circumstances
and conditions out here. The bridge at
Bethlehem and the telephone are speaking
Instances. Now the Building Inspector has
been here more than q year and he might
now come to a cheaper estimate OF building
the Barracks on the old spot than he did a
year ago. From experience J. know, it IS
much more expensive some times to pull
down a building than to build 1t up. |
would propose to postpone the matter till
the Building Inspector has laid a new
estimate before the Government.
The Chairman (Stokemdnn). We have the
question before us of transferring a piece
of land. The estimate for building up the
Barracks does not concern the Council.
3rd Member for Christiansted Town
(Njelsenl. I have formerly recommended
to transfer the piece Of the street to the
State. [ will again propose the council to
agree to the States request, which is a
very reasonable demand. The Ministry of
Finances will not feel satisfied with the
Councils meddling with matters that don't
concern us.
3rd Member for Christiansted Country
District &C. e. Leery). I would not have
taken the word, if His Exce|lency had not
mentioned the expenses for the State.
4th Member Tor Christiansted Country
District (SchmaegeIow). I think it laugh
able, that we. take the trouble to be guar
dian for the Home Government and criti-
CHE the expenses by building the Bar
racks. The Home Government is only
asking for a piece of land, that costs us
nothing. The whole matter is a question
of politeness towards the State.
End Member for Christiansted Town
(Canegata).. The Council has no objection
to spend the money, but the question is
the place where the money is to be spent.

JGI. because L CNA~l = ~ A"tA
what military ell cidations Government
would lay before the Comm ttee, as no an
swer had been received from the Minister
of Finances.
His Excellency the Governor (Hehreg-
Larsen). When the Ministry las wished
to lay the matter before the CouI Gil again
it is due to the ccnside alton that the Min
istrv wants to act in accordance with the
Council and therefore wishes to allow the
Council an opportunity to express a posi-
bic different opinion due t. resi- mo ma
ton on the case there is no, hin2 S rising IN
that, later events may have given the Coun~
Gil another view on the matter.
2nd Member for Christlt noted Tewn
(Caaeqatal. Are the mill AIRY re Sous which
have been laid before the Commit ee the
same which have been laid before the
Ministry
His Excellency the Governor (HehreJ-
Lmrsen) Yes, that of the Chief OF The
Gendarmory Corps, not OF the Chief Of
"Valkyrien".
The; Chairman (StaIemon). In the last
meeting His Excellency when asked il any
answer had been received from the Minis
ter answered: No!
His Excellency the Governor (H,hU'J-
Larsen). l have only said No to the question,
if the Ministry has taken a definite decision
as to the location for the barracks build
ing.
Between the Chairman (Slahemoon) and
His Excellency the Governor (Lelrcg-
Larsen) there arose a dispute about the
authority Of the Chairman as Chairman OF
the Council and His Excellency's au5ho-
rity in the Council meetings. His Excel
lency maintained that the Cove nor was
not under the authority of the Chairman.
The Chairman (Stahenann) maintained
that although the Gov rnor had a ri2ht to
demand the word, he, of course like others
was subject to the ruling Of the Chair.
The Chairman (StoLcm0nnl cont nued:
I will now put the Committees report to
to the vote.
1st Member for Frederiksted Town
(Couter). l made a proposal to defer the
matter.
The Chairman (~SJakemann). It is unne-
cessary to take up that proposal, as it
stands in the Committees report: Gin as
much as the said communications in no
wav alter the decision as expressed in the
above mentioned Resolution"
The Chairman (Sioiemann) then read the
Committees report both in Danish and III
English and then put it to the vote.
10 voted for, 3 against.

TISSUE OF LIES NAILED

At the very hour the following infamous campaign lie was
being sent to the Wheeling Register from Democratic state
beadnIarers at Farmon Virgil l. Highland was Introducing
limited States Senator Nathan Golf to one of the most splendid
political audiences ever assembled in the state and that fact
nails the He:
multitude Of substantial Republicans who put good government
and decency above petty political tcksers. II Is well known
that Senator Golf has not made speech in this campaign has
not contributed dollar and has not been to the national Or
state headurarers both of which are located N his home city,
CFaksbrq, and has not allowed Highland Denham or Joe
Gaines to confer with him"
The dispatch Is complete tissue of fasehoods. Senator
Golf donated the use OF number OF rooms q the Ebdge
bdno to the national and state committees He made large
Contribution to the campaign fund besides, and he has been
consulted and conferred WITH whenever at home by both the
national and state committeeman and other Republican lead
ers of the state Such campaign lies contained in the
despatch quoted are roobacks that fail back the Democratic
machine with deadly effect on its candidates for office.
