remarked: Mr.. Chairman. ] fully en-
dorse the words of the last speaker.
There is an old saying that 1T was the
last straw that broke the cancels back.
This Resolution seems to be the last move
to deprive the Municipa ity of its rights
and kill the usefulness of the Municipal
Committee.
The Naval Government should bear in
mind that they are adm nistering a civil
body whose legislative body is created to
protect the interest of the people.
Our last Govern II asked this Council
to vote away several of our rights en-
bodied in the Bylaws of the Municipal
Committee and that was done in order
to try to work in harmony with Govern
ment for the general benefit of the is
land. The benefits so far are not notice

this Resolution.

Honorable 4th. Appointed Member is la

not a Naval form of Government, but is a
Civil form of Government. The Presi-
dent has the power to appoint a Gov
ernor for these islands, and he may
appoint d Naval Officer, but the mere
fact of appointing a Naval Officer does
not change the form of Government.
AS regards this Resolution, it is
merely to take care of one building,
to rent it for five dollars per month, and
| don't think it will take away any
power from the Municipal Committee or
the Council; and as stated, the only two
conditions this Resolution will take care
of is the house at Peters Farm and the
Post Office.
