5th Appointed Member (LWnney) re-
marked: Mr.. Chairman: | wish to make
a brief remark on the bill which is now
before us. This is nothing ne v; it mas
been coming forward year after year.
Today we are having heavy traffic on
the roads, more automobiles are in use
on the isla id and the cry is better roads.
The member read Par. % Of the Road
Ordinance of 1884 regarding roads IN St.
Croix and said, We mad different traffic
in the olden days. Ii we are to pro-
gress at all we must live up ID modern
ideas and principles; we have instances
today, some of the factories are re-
placing their old machinery with new.
If We find that our roads are not mod
ern, we should do away with them and
have good modern roads. 1t is tor that
reason we are trying to establish a mod
ern center line.
A remark was made nat we are not
acquainted with the building of con-
