American Red Cross.

President Harding was reelected presi-
dent at the annual meeting of the Ameri

that Paragraphs, 4, 5 and 6 place this
road for all times under the care and
maintenance of the Public Works De
partment. The centerline road will be
unduly benefited if all the automobile
fees collected for the island were used
for that particular road. If the prOvl-
sion that the road be placed under the
Public Works Department all the time
were eliminated the bill will meet with a
great deal more favor.
LIST Member for Frederiksted Country
District andersen: Mr.. Chairman. |
would like to ask Government Secretary
a question, and that is, who he thinks
should have authority over the road il
not the Public Works Department?
That's where the difficulty comes in For
the Municipality to take care of all the
roads, we feel that it is impossible and
not necessary for so far the centerllne
could justly be placed under the care Of
the Public Works Department, and II the
amount collected from automobiles IS III
excess Of the amount required to main
tain the road, that would make no differ
euce, it would revert to the Treasury.
4th Member for Frederiksted Country
District (FlemGng) remarked: Mr.. Chair
a If the amount collected from the
automobiles is in excess OF the amount
required to take care of the road the
balance could be put into d fund and
used for repairing other roads on the
island.
No one requesting the word further it
was put to the vote and unanimously
carried that the bill be furthered.
The Chairman remarked: The bill is
furthered to be entered on the Order Of
tho DaV for tho Oovt nootinO
siHhere being no further business before
the House ,the Chairman declared the
meeting closed at 3.45 p. m.

3rd Member for Frederiksted Country
District (M. M. Skeock) remarked: Mr..
Chairman. The Government is mis-
guided as to roadhoIders | have seven
carts working on my allotment on the
center line road, and yet up to this time
| have not been able to complete the
repairs necessary. At present I am get
ting gravel from Enfield Green Gut, but
| am told by the owner Of the estate if |
continue TO take gravel there for any
length of time or much longer. he would
have to stop giving the gravel. We have
no gravel pits where we can get gravel,
and to put a man to break stones with a
hammer would be a great expense, The
only way we would be able to obtain
gravel to mend the road is to have a
stone crusher. The road is put to hard
use today and needs good materials, and
the automobiles are very destructive to
the roads.
