to keep a power boat in operation be-
tween the islands. | fail to see low the
y. s. Shipping Board can help in this
matter,
| think the amount allotted to the
Agricultural Station is an unnecessary
contribution in view of the fact that the
Station now is a Federal Station. We
have a Station in this island from which
We hear very little. | looked up my
records and found that we have not had
any printed resorts from the Station
since 1915 and no verbal report since the
fall of 1916. we do not know anything
about the renting of land at the Station;
so long as we are making contributions
towards the upkeep # the Station we
should hear or know something of what
is going on there.
Further | see two Police Judges, one
down for a salary Of Frcs. 1000 and the
other for trcS. Z, 500, it is a surprise to
me 10 see a difference in the salaries Of
the two Police Judges as thought it
was the office that was paid for and not
for the man holding it. | still think one
Police Judge is sufficient. The mainte-
nance OF the Doctors car is put down at
FIRES. 1888, so with one Police Judge
and a car we would save about FIRES.
5000. Again | see a good many Deputy
Clerks, Reporters etc. and for Mantle
nance OF Courts Frcs. Is, 900. think that
is too much, Then comes the Police
Department, that is terrible considering
that the police force has nc detectives.
In regrrd to The Hospitals I don't think
| have any thing to say; it is necessary to
have a well equipped hospital running
along efficient lines
Sanitary Department. see Frcs.
4, 800 for a Veterinarian, that's some
thing new TO me; they are asking for d
Ford car too, what is that for? The
town is small they can walk from one
house to another.
Public Works Department-There is a
big amount under this item. You have
under this item inspector, Building Di-
vision and two Inspectors, Street Divi-
sion at FIRES. 4,500 and Frcs. 4. 200 re-
spectIvely for the two small towns. but
Road inspectors are put down for Frcs
100 each only. Also / see Frcs. 1000 for
each toWn for sIaughterhouses.
ii we sum up the whole thing we vii!
IND that Revenues from taxation amount
to about trcs. 1000, 900 and Frcs. 900.
OOO OF that amount comes from the Coun-
try Estates and only Frcs. 100, 900 from
the two towns, while the expenditures
are benetiting the towns about FIRES.
