to the three Inspectors referred to by lst
Member for Frederiksted Country Dis
trict (Andersen) ,one is for Christlansted.
one for F1ederiksted and the other for
the Building Division to carry on the
work in that department, in the two
towns and the country districts. An IL
spector for the Building Division is down
for Frcs. 400 per month, carpenters and
m5 sons are earning two dollars and more
per day today and | do not think we can
find Workmen for less than the amounts
budgetted here. | do not think it is pos
sible to combine the two Street lnspec-
tors.
In regard to increases on the budget
for the different departments, if you go
down to new constructions you will
find that the price of cement is rails
ed, and lumber is selling today at
one hundred to one hundred and thirty
dollars per thousand feet.
Street Divisi0n-LabOr has beer raised
from sixty cents to one dollar, price Of
oil has been raised; we have these in
creases in price and it would be impossi-
Bile to accomplish what We have bee ]
accomplishing before unless the budget
ted amounts are increased.

more question is left to be answered,
Veterinarian DR.. Mink will answer this
question.
DR.. Mink remarked; Mr.. Chairman.
The Veterinarian is necessary to protect
the health Of the animals here, more
especially to prevent the Introduction OF
diseases among animals of these islands.
The Veterinarian is sometimes looked
upon as an enemy of the Dairyman but
when the Dairyman gets acquainted with
him he will fine that he is his best friend.
The Veterinarian will give him advice
which will cause an increase in his outfit.
LIST Member for Frederiksted Country

Chairman. The reason why | compared
the salaries of the Street Inspectors with
the salaries Of the Road Inspectors is,
because | believe more road inspection
is required. | am a member of the Road
Commission, and have been all oven the

Public Works Officer had occasion to
spend a little more time here he would
see the necessity Of having a Road In

ried out. | think the amount bud
getted for The Road Inspectors is too
small; | would like to see five thou
