LIST Member for Christiansted Country
District (StakemaMn) remarked: Mr..
Chairman. A committee vas appointed on
this matter and inquiries were made IN
the Bookkeeper's Office and it was found
that all money has been credited to the
Teachers Supporting Fund. The amount
stated to be due to the individual Teach
ers should be paid to them with the &C
crued interest. We find that interest
has 9een paid up to March l, 1918, and
the Committee recommends that interest
be Paid to them from March /, 1918 up to
the time the amout is paid. believe
that will be fair to the Teachers and all
others concerned.
LIST Member for Frederiksted Town
Coulter remarked; Mr.. Chairman.
/ am in favor Of the Teachers getting
all that is coming to them. A Committee
has been appointed al the last meeting
to report on this matter and only now,
while the Council is in session. the Com
mittee Report is handed to US. The
custom was that a committee report is
forwarded to members, at least twenty
four hours before the Meeting of the
Council. | hope this procedure Will not
establish a precedent in the Council.
1t was put to the vote and carried that
the Committee Report be adopted.

District [Ssakemann remarked: Mr..
Chairman. | acknowledged our fault
and admit that we are late with the re-
port, but it is not our fault; this is a small
matter and | don't think it is wise o
keep the Teachers waiting any longer
Tor their money. There are plenty
chances yet for members to give their
opinion on the matter.

When l made the remark | did not
know at whose door it would fall,
whether at the door of the Chair

that I hope that this procedure is not
going to be a precedent in the Council
hereafter.
The Chairman remarked: 1t is true
that the report should be forwarded to
members before today, but we had but
little time and the Teachers have been
without their money for some time, with
that in view | do not think members will
nave any objection 10 forward the mat

The speaker COMMUNICATIVE Govern
ment can see no good reason why mer-
chants here cannot sell at the same prices
as merchants in St. Thomas when it is
considered that each purchases on the
same market and each has the same
freigh, rate.
1t is the intention of the Government,
to introduce in this Council, in the near
future, a Draft Of Ordinance which will,
if adopted, effectively regulate prices and
insure to the ultimate consumer a price
free from unearned and undue profit.
The repeating of the present Ordin-
ance first, is considered a necessary
condition precedent. in view of the fact
that this Council has only recently re-
fused to pass an amendment thereto
which would have granted to the present
Commission ome of the power consider
ed essential.

Ordinance creating a commission to
regulate and control the prices of

and for other purposes" passed by
Colonial Council Of St. Gr0ix at its

J. W. OMAN,
REMARKS.
1t is considered by the Govern
ment that the ordinance creating a
Food commission for ST. Croix is in
many respects an effective ordi-
nance. In practice, however, the
said ordinance has not, in the opin-
ion of the Government, been pro-
ductive of satisfactory results and
it is believed that, if the said or
dinance is continued in force, the
result Of its operation will be to
work more hardship than benefit to
the community,
Despatching Secretary (Col6y) intro
duced the Draft of Ordinance and said,
Mr.. Chairman. The Ordinance creating
the Food Commission of St. Croix has
been in force since October 81, 1919.
The only effective power which is grant
ed to this commission, is to regulate the
retail and wholesale prices on articles
of food imported into St. Croix, and this
power must be so exercised as to allow
a reasonable margin of profit.
In order to fix a price, whether for
wholesale or retail, it must be sufficiently
high to. allow a profit upon the highest
Lriced Importation, in other words, it
can only be a maximum price. Observa-
