amount of Francs IL, 600 is not used by
the end Of the fiscal year this Municipali-

Despatching Secretary (Sbamer) in in
Producing the Additional Money Bill said:
Mr.. Chairman. When the budget was
framed for submission to the Council the
increases you see in this additional mon
ey ill were included, but when it was
presel ed to the Governor for his sigma
ture it, vas reported to him that the Colo
NAL CoUQcil would probably be function
ing soon and he decided to omit them and
submit them to the Council in a separate
bill.
The first provision in the money bill is
an increase for the Clerk of the Police
Court in Christiansted from Francs 2,400
to Francs 2, 200. This increase is made
for the purpose Of equallzing the salary
Of that office with the salary nc paid to

sted.

from Francs 1900 to Francs 2,l00. l
Record Clerk increase from Francs 900 to
Francs / 200. The increase in the salary
Of the Pharmacist is to bring his compen-
sation up 10 that Of a Graduate Nurse.
The increase in the salaries Of the Clerk
and Record Clerk are made because their
salaries are considered too low.
Under Item Il, Maintenance, an IN
crease is recommended from Francs So,
891, 80 to Francs So, 891. 80. This increase
is exactly the reduction made in this item
when the budget was framed for submls-
sion to the Governor at the beginning of
the fiscal year. At that time it was the
intention to discontinue the subsistence
given, at Government expense, to pupil
nurses, and to increase the compensation
of the nurses by $500 per month. The
bill Tor increasing the nurses salaries was
kept pending so long that the Chief Mu-
nicipal Physician finally decided to con-
tinue the subsistence of these nurses for
the remainder of the fiscal year and to
drop the matter of increasing the nurses
pay. This increase is necessary to pay
Tor their subsistence. The same remarks
apply 10 Item 30, Maintenance. That in
crease is TO provide subsistence for the
pupil nurses in Frederiksted,

Three Dangers
There are three dangers that
will do more to hamper aviation
than anything else.
THE first danger is the great
number of flying schools that may
spring up which will grind Gas
so-called pilots who never can be
fliers. I hope this danger will be
safeguarded.
"The second danger is from or.
ganization of too many aircraft
companies without substantial fl
nancial backing. These concerns
may spring up and sell stock to
the public like wildcat oil wells.
"The third danger is that small
er communities may get over en-
thusiastic and try and build too
many airports, which, when built.
would lie idle"
