where a man Will be paid less than the

put in with economy in mind; for in
stance, If an old employee resigns his

his place he should not be paid the full

Zane, was here there was a big dispute
OVe general provisions in the budget and
when he saw the point Government with
drew the provisions. | propose today that
the same arguments there advanced be
adopted and the Council strike out the
provisions in the budget.
Despatching Secretary (SbNmer) re.
marked: Mr.. Chairman, | presume that
the remarks made by the last speaker is
directly against the first paragraph of
the provisions (The speaker read the first
paragraph and said: That's cOmmon
sense. For instance, a man may be a
good Stenographer and is giving very
good service, when he leaves his duties
have to be done by some one else, and
while that man is in that temporary pO-
sition the Government should not pay
him the full salary until he is qualified.
LIST Member for Christlansted Town
LCdnegutU remarked: Mr.. Chairman,
the only reason why J am against the
provisions in the budget, is, because my
experience is that if the head of depart
ment likes a man be give; him the full
salary, and if he does not like the ap-
pearance of that man he will not give him
the full salary.
The first paragraph of the General
Provisions was put to the vote and adopt
ed by vote of z for 6 against.
Despatching Secretary LSh0me"l re.
marked: Mr.. Chairman, with respect
to the other paragraph | propose that it
be changed to read this way:
The Governor is authorized. with
the concurrence of the Municipal
Committee, to make such transfers
between the items of the budget as
the public interests may require
The speaker continuing said: The rea-
son forthis is the difficulties the heads of
departments are experiencing when
it comes 10 spending the savings made in
their budget at The end of The fiscal year.

sistant Public Works Officer has to come

to the budget transferring money from
one sub item to another. Now he Will
not have The chance to spend that money
as the Council cannot convene until the
elections are over. | believe that the
Council can trust the Municipal Commit
tee, and unless the Municipal Committee
concurs nothing can be done. The MUM

visions as submitted ky the Desratching
Secretary was put to the vote with the
result hat IL members voted for it; none
against.
The Chairman remarked: The ques-
ton was asked by Government as TO
whether the Council would be willing to
reconsider its decision in regard to the
vote taken on the amendment proposed
to increase the salary of the Clerk at the
Police Office Frederiksted.
Despalchiug Secretary LShamor re-
marked: Mr.. Chairman. the remark was
made that that Clerk is receiving starva-
ton wages. | wish to assure you that
there are many in the sam position.
The action taken by the Council is a very
bad example; it would tend to show that
one employee with influence can get a
raise in salary and that ore who is more
modest cannot get.
LIST Member for Christiansted Town
LC0Regdtal remarked MIR. Chairman,
the Council has passed an amendment to
the budget providing for an increase in
salary to the Clerk at the Police Office in
Frede' iksted, and it has also passed a
General Provision that the Governor can
pay him what he likes so it is unnecessa-
ry to ask the Council to reconsider its
vote on that matter.
The budget was put to the vote as
amended en- bloc and it was unanimously
adopted.
The Chairman remarked: The budget
as amended and adopted goes to Govern
ment.

ESTHER NEIJCK,s RECITAL.


A young Washington soprano who
grew ND in the Capital and in 1924
won first place as a local singer in
the try-outs held by the District. of
Columbia Federation of Music Clubs
Esther Melick-reappeared after an
absence of, some time in a program
of songs at the Rhode Island Avenue
NJ p. Church last night and was warm
IL received by an audience that nlled
the hall. Miss Melick has been study
ing for the past few months in Chi
cago and her singing shows consider
able development since she was last
heard here. She has a big, resonant
voice excellent meZZo timbre. Her
enunciation is clear and apparently
unstudied, and her stage presence is
very pleasing. Her program last night
did not offer much variety in the type
of song sung. She is, however, espe-
cially to be commended on giving an
entire recital in English. She did not
sing down to her audience" but she
did respect its probable desires and
showed good taste in giving all the
songs in the language Understandable
TO all present.
Quite the finest and most successful
of the numbers was the Cadman
Spring Song of the Robin Woman"
from the Indian opera "Shanewis."
MISS M6lCh IIlIGW 1lCI Sell 1l1LO LIiAS do
In no other song. She also prefaced
1t with some well-chosen notes describ-
ing it's place in the opera. Her other
aria was zone Fine Day." from Puc-
cini's Madame Butterfly" which she
sang quite well, but could have made
more effective by beginning her high
notes on pianiSsimo and giving more
shading to her tones, all of which were
inclined to be too fortissimo. The
little encore songs, The False
Prophet" and when Grandma Was
a Girl We're especially good and
thoroughly enjoyed. ''Talley-Ho" would
have been excellent had the singer not
dragged the last phrases entirely out
of tempo. Shorter phrases and a
slight gasp would have given the effect
she tried to obtain. More soft singing
and smoother linking of phrases would
Improve her ballad type of selections.
George Wilson, that most dependable
of accompanies, was of excellent as
Eistance to the singer, at the piano.
4 group of readings was well given
by Evelyn Reichard. For Wing Pee
Wee she was accompanied at the
piano by Margaret Gilligan, and her
encores, Your Little Wife and Lost
Pets" were thoroughly appreciated.
