money budgetted for the salary of the
Clerk Of the District Court, and now
seems very willing to go ahead and in
crease salaries for other employees.
Government is also very willing to in
crease salaries, but wants to know where
the money is to come from? If you in
crease, where are you going to decrease?
1t is true that you have taken Francs
1900 from the salary of the Clerk of the
District Court, | suppose you are divi1'
ing that up now,
2nd Member for Frederiksted Town
(BrOW): Mr.. Chairman, this Council took
Francs II, 600 90 from where it wasn't
needed and placed it where it is deserv
ing. Ihis is a man that is working all day
and at nights for Francs 495, 90 per
month. | cannot view the matter in the
same light as the Despatcbing Secretary.
There seems to be something underneath
the whole thing. What | cannot under
stand is, employees VINO are receiving
5000 per month and more are recommend
ed for increase and those receiving small
err salaries are not recommended for any.
All seem to me to be human beings,
whe ther they are pink, blue or green.
| cannot see how a man VINO is receiving
W or three hundred dollars per month IS
deserving an increase and a man, not an
animal, who lis receiving 4 or 5 dollars
should not have an increase. That seems
quite unnatural to me,
Despatcbing Secretary (F'0TUeL): Mr..
Chairman | would like to know what the
Honorable 2nd Member for Ere deriksted
town purposes to do for the IL patrol
men on the force who are getting less
than half as much as tie District Chief.
2rd Member for Frederiksted Town
(Br01U): Mr. Chairman. if | had the pow
er | would fix the whole thing 50 that all
would get an increase.
The Chairman: | am going to suggest
a way out. Give each policeman W.
suits of uniform a year. That would he
a great help.
Bird Member for Frederiksted Country
District Il Andersen: Mr.. Chairman, the
Municipal Committee discussed the police
& Prison Department very briefly, be-
cause that's a department that needs re.
organization badly. Let Us walt until
next year and ]reorganize the department
it is in bad shape; 1t is too expensive and
too clumsy. Probably we might be able
to do away with ONE Of the employees
and pay the few useful ones a good salary.
The ChNjrmaR: / think in ordinary JUS
tice. and when we come down TO 1t, there
is no department in this Municipality
, 1928-07-07

that is harder hit than the Police Depart
ment. Last year the Government took
away one clerk, this year they are taking
away Francs $500 by striking out one
Inspector. 1t strikes me that whenever
something is to be sacrificed the Police
Department is the one that bears the
brunt.
End Member for Christiansted town
(Cbdbert): Mr.. Chairman, | came here
today with the feeling that something
should be lone for the Policemen. Many
of them have a family to take care of
You wan, them to appear decent on the
streets, you want them to keep out of
debt so that they be not obligated to 9TH
err citizens. When you pay a policeman
$40, 90 per month and expect him to
live as becomes his position you are
expecting too much. | know that the
Policemen borrow money and credit
from the merchants and others and can
not pay their debts. | do not think this
Council should pass this budget with
out granting even a $500 increase for the
patrOlmen.
2nd Member for Christiansted Country
District (JackS0u): Mr.. Chairman, my
story is a long one, | want to say that |
am in perfect harmony with what the End
Member for Frederiksted Town has said
in regard to an increase OF salary for the
District Chief in FredeukSted he is an
efficient and capable man and is there

CARDS an increase for individual members

 WELCOME INQUIRY
Opium Probe Letter From U. s.
 Read in League

Lugano, Switzerland, Dec. 13.-lR) -Raoul Dandurand. Canadian representative on the council Of the League of Nations. read a letter at today's session from the United States government assuring the league that the proposed opium in- vestigation mission will be welcome in the Philippines and that the gov- ernor general will give it all pos sible assistance.
 To Send Thanks
 President Briand announced that a letter of thanks would be sent to Washington.
 The council without actually ap- pointing the committee of experts which will investigate the opium situation preliminary to steps to designate committee of three per sons to visit the far eastern terri- tories of the powers to discover what are the conditions at present for the suppression of opium smok- ing.
 Under the Geneva convention Of 1925, the nations are committed to bringing about progressive suppress sion but Britain. in particular. has expressed the thought that the smuggling of opium is so vast that it may be unable to carry out its obligation.
 The council decided to postpone for one year the conference on this subject scheduled for 1929.
 With the United States govern- ment contemplating the reopening of negotiations for adherence to the international court of justice, there was great interest in the decision of the council 10 appoint a committee of jurists to examine the advisa- bility Of amending the court statutes. The jurists will be named at subsequent meeting.
 Cement Duties
 The council also voted to convoke a preliminary conference on the re- duction of duties on cement.
 Television and broadcasting are deemed to be making such rapid and almost daily progress that the council took action on these ques- tions. It unanimously approved plan to have the newly inaugurated educational cinema institute at Rome give close study to these sub- jects and collect all possible material related to the institutes plan of the distribution of films Of an educational character.
 Furthermore the leagues com- mittee on intellectual cooperation was requested to study the relations between educational cinematog- raphy. television and broadcasting in order to make concrete sugges- tions.

ONE AGAINST 3O,OO0 BUT WINS HIS POINT
Man May Use Property for Any
 Legal Purpose

The right of property owner to use lot for whatever legal pur- pose he wishes even though, as is estimated. 3o,0Oo people are against his plans. was upheld last night when the board of adjustment vo,- ed down a petition for zone change. The petition had asked that the lot at the corner of Frank lin Square and Pearl street be l transferred from an industrial zone to residential one. the purpose be- ing to prevent the erection of a lunch cart thereon. It was the cul- imitation of a struggle ,waged by people who objected to the propos- ed plans of the owners.
 Two aldermen. Walter Falk and J. Gustave Johnson appeared for those who had signed the petition while Donald Gaffney represented the Standard Oil Go. of New York. owner of the property
 The aldermen claimed to repre- sent at least 30,O00 people who either reside in the vicinity or at- tend church there.
 MT. Gaffney charged the church proponents with having "promulgat- ed the most unfair petition ever placed before the board" He said that the company some time ago purchased the property with the view Of erecting gasoline station thereon. Through a political mani- pulation of the ordinances. he said. it was ruled that filling station could not be placed there. A second attempt came to an abrupt end when petition to the common council was tabled indefinitely.
 President George T. Kimball Of the American Hardware Corp. own CT Of property nearby. stated that he would not vote on the proposi- ton hut, at the same time, he op- posed change in the zones. Law yer P. F. McDonough expressed the same opinion.
 When the matter was brought 10 vote. the other members of tho board unanimously denied the churchman's petition.
