lst Member for Frederiksted Country
District Andersen remarked: Mr..
Chairman. i fully agree with the words
Of the last speaker; he 0 the word
away from me because | was going to
propose that Protestant Cay be used for
two years at a time. | think myself
that there is great need for an instltu-
ton Of that kind; and as the reef will
not be blown for sometime to come |
recommend that the Cay be used for that
purpose.
Bird Appointed Member armstrong;
entered the meeting.
End Member for Chris1iansted Town
(Canogdta) remarked: Mr.. Chairman.
| understand that the s~orefoot hospital
at Richmond is closed, why cannot that
be used?
End Appointed Member (NolO answer
ed: The s~OretOOt hospital at Richmond
is now being used for prison purposes.
Jst Member for Christian3ted Country
District (Stoken1Hnn) remarked: Mr..
Chairman. The remarks made by End
Member for Christlansted Town cover
the ground. and / don't think there is
much lettit II me to say, except that the
community OF this town is agalns the
Cay being used tor such a purpose. The
public has the wharf to sit on during the
afternoons to get fresh air, there are
no PARKS IN TINS own for one to go to.
and when mothers and fathers and chiI-
dren meet on the wharf, and the question
is asked what is on the Cay, you may
camoahago it as y0u wish, and call it a
training school, but 1t will not be long
before the children viii get 10 know
more and more about it, and their mo-
rails will not be improved by such expert
ence. If the wharf is a place for people

brought IN this question for the Council
to give it's opinion upon it; that shows that
the Government is inclined to respect
the opinion Of the Council and the pub
lie. There was a time when the opinion
of the public did not worth much. but
today it is not so. We are thankful to
the Red Cross for trying to improve the
morals of the people, but unfortunately
the site selected is not one that is accept
able to the inhabitants OF Christiansted
for more than one reason. AS 1t IS
for such a short time the institution
will be put on the Cay, why not hire a
place ard use it, temporarily =? For
instance, Mr.. Pen heny might be will.
ing to rent the school, house which he
bought from the Cover nment recently;
that would be a more suitable place, as
the children will be able to use their
hands there, and that Will help TO keep
them straight. There is another place
There is a vacant house at ShOys. why
not use that? In my opinion, | believe
that a committee should be appointed to
look into this matter, and make such
recommendations as they might deem
proper.
With regard to the remarks accom-
panying the Ordinance, We have no doubt

the Cay is needed, and we believe that
the Governor means what he says, but
can any one guarantee that within a
wear or two we might not have a change
of Governor; and who car guarantee that
the future Governor will keep to a prom
Use made by the present Governor?
While we feel safe in the present Gov
ernor, we cannot feel equally safe in the
future Governor. | cannot see why a
member should be so warm in recon-
mending the Cay. If | was a member Of
Frederiksted Town or District | would
feel myself not competent to speak on
this matter, but it is quite the opposite
on the other side. 1t would be very dis
agreeable to see the Cay used for a
purpose unless a good park could be
made where people could go in the after
noon to get fresh air.
LIST Member for Frederiksted Country
District (Amdersen) remarked: Mr..
Chairman. | only wish to make a short
remark. | have been looking at this
matter from a business point of view,
but / have listened carefully to what
has Deer said by the last speaker in re-
gard co other places that could be used;
if that has not been looked into. then |
agree that q committee be appointed
to look into the matter.

End Member for Christiansted Town
(CameqdtG) remarked: Mr.. Chairman.
The last speaker has said that the Red
Cross is offering fifty thousand dollars
towards the upkeep Of the instltutIcn,
the minutes of the Municipal Committee
does not show that.
End Appointed Member (NoU) answer
ed: Mr.. Moran said in the Municipal
Committee meeting that he could not
speak with authority.
4th Appointed Member (BtGckW00d) re-
marked: Mr.. Chairman. When | car
ried passengers to this island | was ask
ed which port | liked best, whether
Frederiksted or C~hristiansted, | said |
liked Kings Hill best. | would argue as
strongly for Christiansted as | would ar
que for Frederiksted | cannot see
how the Institution, if placed on the Cay,
would destroy the beauty Of this town.
The Governor of these islands is trying
to help US, and are we going to stand
here and block every measure that would
tend to improve this island? AIRY other
Governor who may come might no want
to live up to any promise this Governor
makes. but if we have something on re-
cord he is bound to respect it. If the
Institution is put on the Cay, they are
NOT going TO put any loose characters
there, and the .childrentwho go there will
improve morally. | cannot see where
the arguments adduced against this pro
ject is sound.
At the Il st meeting Member Stake
mann said if we can get money we
should take all we could get: | think then
it is wise to accept the money which is
now being offered to us by the Red
Cross.
1st Member for Frederiksted Country
District (Andersen) remarked: Mr..
Chairman. All the years | have been
living in New York / lived near an in
s%titution of the same kind built! on the
river front, and curing that time I.never
saw any one going in or coming out Of
that institution.
End Member for Froderiksted. Country
District M. NJ. .Skeoch) remarked: Mr..
Chairman. AS End Appointed Member
(NolD says, an amendment can be
brought in where the Cay can be used
for a. definite time, and the amendment
can be so fixed that if we have a change
of Governor the arrangement would be
respected. If theareef in the harbor is
to be blown, it will not be done in the
space of a year. The community Of
Ch~ristiansted do not like the PROPOSE
ton, but | do not see that it would
do any harm if the institution is placed
on the Cay for I period ofsone year.

the
father or GREAT FALLS

Twas Just fourscore ten long years ago
This day, at Brownfied Maine, man child came
Into this ife predestned SO it seems,
To give to us this city and its name.
When first he and this prairie land,
He sensed just what the future held in store;
A city grand he said one day would stand,
And bridges span the river shore to shore.
He prophesied all that have today.
He sponsored every for better things; a
Each tree each bud. each blade Of and flower
Bespeaks the fathered thot that ry brings,
He gave us first the love SO well,
Each highway We by and number know
He planned our bouevards so broad and green
Our wkdrous Parks, and all that in them grow
Fe gave us confidence in doubtful days
His sturdy heart strong in what he knew
And faith in him and all his counses came
As this fair city bloomed and thrlved and grew
Therefore we honor him and on this day
Paw homage this recurrent day of birth
To nroye to him, the Father of Great Fans,
That each soul in it's confines knows his worth.
