explain the construction end.
MIR. PETTIGREW remarke Mr..
Chairman. We submitted plans to the
Municipal Committee sometime ago and
it you go over those plans you will find
that they include the building of addi-
tional wards. The present building you
have here seems TO be an ideal place to
construct a new plant. 70 start from
the ground up and build a new plant
with the anne Accommodations will cost
about one h ndred and fifty thousand
dollars. The many items Of expenses
will be plumbing, lights, sewerage and
the ground on which to build, while
il you invest thirty thousand dollars on
the present hospital you will have ano
Their building with sufficient accomoda-
tons.
The maintenance on Government build
lngs on these Islands is quite a large eX-
pense, and as far as economy is concern
ed we think it is better to build on the
present site for thirty thousand dollars
rather than build at Richmond.
P~AYMASTER BEACH remarked: Mr..
Chairman. AS far as the financial end
on the question is concerned it may be
summed up in a few words. Since the
United States took over these Islands
Congress had to appropriate money to
meet the DEFICIENCIES and for other ex-
penses in connection with the Govern
ment: and this year, sometime before
Governor Oliver was detached, it was
discovered hat about one hundred and
seventy thousand dollars would be re-
CURED to meet actual DEFICIENCIES. AS
this money was appropriated for the use
and benefit of these Islands, and as we
need money down here we thought 1t
best to use this thirty thousand dollars
balance before the appropriation expires;
and for that reason an additional money
bill was introduced. 1t is said that it
would be a good idea to put the hosrital
at Richmond, but We have not the money
on hand The war is over and the United
States Government is cutting down APP
preparations and you stand the chance
of MT getting a hospital if you refuse
the thirty thousand dollars.
The Governor appreciates the spirit
YOU have shown to erect this plant, but
in view of the fact we may spend fifty or
sixty thousand dollars on a plant at Rich
mond and run for a long time and not
have it completed, it is inadvisable.
AS to the Reserve Fund the Governor
believes that it should be kept intact for
emergencies in case of hurricane or other
calamities; and as a safeguard it should
S remain.
Now the proposition is to spend thirty
thousand dollars where it would do the
roocf GOOD. ap1 fhipk DC Dr R1tlnr

@C0
DR.. BUTLER remarked: Mr.. Chairman
The Governor as sent Paymaster Beach,
Mr.. Pettigrew and myself to explain.
The Governor is very much pleased that
the people are taking an interest in the
building of the hospital. but the Cover
nor has considered the proposal made
and finds that it is impossible to b lid
with the f lnds we have on hand at IRE
sent. When we started we thought we
would be able to build = hospital at Rich
mond as the drainage there is good, so
we asked the Government of the United
States to give US one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars to build the hospital so
as to be able to look after the interest of
the people. This plan failed and we tried
several other means. but it hasn't been
practical. We inherit the building we
have down here, and have put it in such
shape so as to be able to take care of the
sick. Objection has been raised to the
site down here. | appreciate the senti-
ment that urges you to desire to put it
somewhere else, but it seems to me that
there is no better use the building could
be put to than to take care of your
sick. AS | stated to the Committee
this morning it is not agreeable to have
noise near the sick, but on the other
hand it is only a matter of asking the
leader of the band not to play If you
have very sick patients in the hospital.
If you put your plant at Richmond you
have to have a dispensary in this town,
or sick patients will have to go two
miles to see the Doctor; this matter has
been all thought out and we think this
is the best that could be done for the
people. Governor Oliver was trying to
use the money for the best interest of
the people; DR.. Jenkins and DR.. Bailey
we're asked to report on the conditions
of the hospitals. and Governor Oliver
thought it best to use this money fol
the hospital. Paymaster Beach will ex-
plain the financial side and Mr.. Petit

4th Appointed Member (BiackaUood)
remarked: Mr.. Chairman. | appreciate
the remarks made by the Government
Representatives from St. Thomas re-
garding the probability of any large APP
preparations for the Virgin Islands not
receiving favorable consideration b. Con.
greSs at present. It is a we'll known
fact that the United States Treasury has
been under a heavy financial strain even
before we entered the war; and is likely to
continue for some time yet. Billions have
BEEN raised from the population of the
United States and large sums of money
will still be required, so the chances are
that our requirements will not be taken
much notice of for some time. The ques-
ton before US today is, the passing of
the Additional Money Bill of Francs
153, 000.00 as amended by the Commit
tee Report on the 18th inst, and the
Resolution proposed by End Member
for Christiansted Town [Canegata for
Francs 100, 100000 from the Reserve
Fund for building the hospital in ques-
ton.
At the committee meeting on Monday
the 18th inst, the Government, the
Medical Department and the citizens
of this town were represented and by
unanimous agreement it was decided
that Richmond Reservation was the
best site to build on and he Commit
tee made their report in accordance
with that decision; therefore it is with
regret hat | see the Government Re
representatives. from St. Thomas take
such an arbitrary stand in favour of
building on the steeple site in defiance
of the expressed wishes of the inhabi-
tants of this town. Our naval Govern
ment is a branch of the Federal Gov
eminent, and | have always understood
that the Federal Government is a Gov
eminent of the people, for the people
and by the people; and by the vote of
the people all great questions concern
mo the people are settled.

The thirty-fourth season of opera at
the Metropolitan Opera House came to
an end last night. and with it the
eleventh year of Mr.. i-Casazza' S
artistic consulship. The corporation
which owns the building has been in
existence for about thirty-eight years,
during seven of which it was also the
operating company. 1t has passed
through many vicissitudcs, but has
kent its organization intact, and TO it's
the people owe an operate institu-
ton which has had a much larger
element or degree Of permanency than
any of it's kind in the history of
Of national and municipal pride. We
do not know if any of its original
stockholders are among the living, but
the descendants and representatives of
considerable number OF them are
among the present generation of box
holders in the region strangely called
the parterrc circle. The operating
companies have undergone more
numerous and varied changes The
first lessee, Mr.. Henry r. Abbey, made
financial shipwreck in single year
So disastrous was his financial failure
that the Opera House Company could
not find q manager willing to under
take. the risk of management in 1884
and itself became the purvcyor Of this
arstocratic aud costly entertainment.
After seven years, a period productive
of marvellous results in the direction
Of popular education, Mr.. Abbey re-
turned as lessee and made a second
venture, ostensibly with larger aims,
which his associate. Mr.. Maurice Grau,
developed into q regime the artistic
brlliancy Of which has remained

The Italian novelties by Puccni were
put into all classes Of subscriptions
and were brought forward at higher
prices than those of the subscription
nights on a Saturday. They thus at
tanned six performances. They have
probably already lived out their use
fulness, and the fact that Mr.. Gatti
played upon what he hoped would be a
great popular curiosity in making a
special and high priced feature of then,
ertory, following in this reprobatcd
example which he set in the beginning
of his American engagement, will, like
his choice OF other novelties, to say the
least, be set down to the discredit of
his artistic knowledge and judgment.
LA Refine Fiammette" was an eyre
gious blunder and LA Forza del Des-
tino" an appeal to the Caruso craze.
Judgment of n different order suggest
ed the revival of "Obcron," and it is
upon such judgment that the raising Of
the standard of the repertory and it's
sterilization must depend.
Before presenting record of the
season in tabulated form, attention is
called to fact which sufficiently cx-
plains the humdrum and perfunctory
nature of many of the performances
which occasoncd comment during the
season. The number of days which
have elapsed since the opera house
opened its doors last November is 100:
within that period the Metropolitan
Company's forces gave 145 representa-
tions in New York, 16 in PHILADELPHIA
and 10 in Brooklyn, besides 81 con-
certs--in all, 1872 performances. Such
activity might better be characterized
as the labor of music foundry than
the activity of an artistic institution.

A Reuie1v of the Season

: opera lovers Of the present time. Finan.
clal reverses compelled several changes
in the legal style Of the organization
during the last years of Mr.. Abbey's
life, but under Mr.. Grau's direction
the opera attained to financial pros.
perlty as we'll as artistic glory. Upon
this decade of history there followed
the organization in 1908 of what is
practically the present company
though 1t underwent changes after
five years of management by Mr.
Heinrich Conried, which compel us to
treat it ASIA different concern than
that which endured from 1903 to the
coming of Mr.. Gatti- Casazza in 1908
1t is only with the artistic side of
the enterprise, which is now associated
chiefly with the names of Mr.. Otto II
Kahn and Mr.. Gatti- Casazza, that we
can concern ourselves in this retrospect
of the season Just closed. The financial
outcome is the jealousy guarded secret
OF the opera company and its admins
tratlve agents. From the attendance
during the twenty-three weeks since
November II, 1918, when the season be-
gan. it would seem as if it could not
have been other than financially profit
able. for the audiences have looked
larger than ever before, there have been
greater number of representations and
evidences of economical administration
have been obvious to the experienced
observer. But the activities Of the
company have extended to Philadelphia
and Brooklyn, and from those places
we have no information regarding re-
ccipts, while it is certain that the en-
pcnses in the mechanical department
have been largely increased. Besides
as has been pointed out in our refcc-
lions on the concert season, a great
deal of mystery has surrounded the
composition of audiences this year
There is certainly a limit to the will
