From
To
Subject

/. The Government desires to with
draw Bill No. 4, Colonial Council for
the Municipalit of St. Croix for the
following reasons:
From the reports of the last meeting,
the Governor is led to believe that GER
tain members of this Council, and, posi-
Bile, the constituency which they repre-
sent, are loathe to place full faith and
confidence in the motives of the Govern
me4t IN presenting this measure, and,
apparently. are inclined 10 believe the
Resolution was offered with ~ulteri0r
motives. 1t can be seen from reading
the reports, that by inuend0, the Govern
ment is accused Of attempting to delay,
hinder and retard the laudahle ambition
OF the people of Christiansted to COM
mercialize their harbor by eliminating an
Objectionable reef. Apparently, some
believe that q training school, such as
proposed, would not be a training school,
but an institution tending to demOraiize,
rather than mOralize the inmates. 1t IS
also noted that the present Government
is accused OF having no intent to fulfill
the promises which appear In the ReS0-
luton, or which might have appeared by
SPECIFIC amendment, but that the feeling
seemed rather to be among certain mem
bers that this administration could not be
trusted any further than past ]administra.
ton.
The accusations which appear in the
report are cot true, but the Government
feels that, rather than be mistrusted in
the slightest degree, it will prefer TO
establish this institution within the Mum
cipality OF st. Thomas and St. John,
although such action would mean consid-
cradle delay and, consequently, a large
number OF girls who need immediate
r~eformalory attention will be deprived Of
such benefit.
