OF THE
COLONIAL COUNCIL
FOR ST. GROIX.
Continued from April 18th. 1885.


(MeT1Uin): Mr.. Chairman. | have heard
the last speaker and there is a goud deal
of truth in what he has said, out as far
as dollars and cents ale concerned that
does not change the situation. We pass
ed Till No. 26 and the Governor has witt
ten asking US 10 take out the amendment
which we saw fit to put in: and DOW Bill
No. 27 is before US for consideration
think we should go ahead and take &C.
ton on it. | see no reason why we should
nos amend it and pass II.
Ist Member fer Christiapsted Town
(Cdnequta): MIR. Chairman. What
would like draw attention to is. that
the amendment offered TO this bill by the
Municipal Committee affects il much
more in principle that the amendment
made to the other bill Ono. 27l. il is pro-
posed to change six years" to ten
years" that TO my mind is a much bigger
change
9Th Appointed Member (JoSeph): Mr..
Chairman. point of information. Can
you say what is tbs need for passing this
bill at this time?
The Chairman: 1t is requested by Gov
eminent that we pass it so as to live up
to the agreement made between the Bank
and the Treasury Department.
5th Appointed Member (Joseph): Mr..
Chairman. So we are here to do the sum
and send it TO the teacher for his marks.
see no need for passing this ordinance
today; those members who are support
ing the Administration can go anead and
those of US VINO feel that We do not want
to act on the bill today should not be pur-
suaded TO do so By the others.
1st Member for Frederiksted Town
(Merwin): Mr., Chairman The last
speaker says he sees no need Tor passing
this bill today; out | wish to remind him
that the National Bank of the Danish
West Indies is in rapid liquidation. they
tell US that they intend to withdraw. AS
] understood the matter this is an agree
ment between the National Bank and.t
Treasury Department by which the Bank
can withdraw. Since the last me etIng

tell me that this bill represents definite
method by which they can WITHDRAW 1t

carried out.

Lieutenant governor LQWfUnce w
CrGmer: Mr.. Chairman. | would like TO
add to what the Honorable 1st Member
for Frederiksted Town has said that this
ordinance does not only set forth the
method bv which the Bank should with
draw, it also provides for the protection
Of people who have claims against the
bank. If this ordinance is not passed 1t
might be possible for the officers of the
Bank 10 disregard their claim. The law
we have in the local Code of Laws is not
specific, so this ordinance is intended to
protect persons who have claims against
the Bank. and finally it makes provision
for turning over 10 the Government. af-
ter a certain period of years. all the
claims that are paid. 1t would be possible
for them to deny paying certain claims Il
this law were not passed.
5th Appointed Member (JOSephJ: Mr.
Chairman. Has the National Bank start
ed to liQuidate?
The Chairman: Yes.
9Th Appoint ed Member (JoSeph): Mr..
Chairman We should give them a chance
to liquidate as they see fit. We know for
certain that this ordinance comes under
the same heading as the other ordinance
recommended by the Treasury Depart
ment, and he would like US to act as a
rubber stamp. If you did not know that
you know it now. because the ordinance
passed by this Council bearing on this
matter was returDed to you to pass it as
he wants it. think it would be wise for
this Council to find out from the Cover
nor if hewill accept its amendment.
1st Member for Frederiksted Town
(MerWin): Mr.. Chairman. take the
floor again. do nor feel in this case that
we are acting as rubber stamps for the
Treasury Depar. ment of the United
States. This is method and procedure
agreed upon by the National Bank and
the Treasury Department of the United
States. let Us accept it as presented or
amend it.
4th Appointed Member (Robt. w.
Skeochj: Mr.. Chairman. 1t seems az if the
9Th Appointed Member would prefer US
TO ask the Governor how to act. That's
about the size of il.
9th Appointed Member (JoSeph): Mr.
Chairman. | will not vote for this bill
one way or the other because some IF the
members of this Council want TO pass
this ordinance merely to show how an
xious they are to do something / would
like to ask the 1st Member for Frederik-
sted Town whether or no! he knows there
is an amendment to this bill. If he knows
then it is easy forI him to see. that
it is likely to be turned down.

Better Housing Plans
Rapidly Going Forward

determination and repair of homes
and business property has gained an
added impetus throughout most of
Maryland according to reports which
have been received from the various
hcairmen of the Better Housing Com
nlittees according to Henry w. Webb,
Director for Maryland of the F. H.
A. House to house canvasses in
the various communities indicate that
about rs percent of the home owners
called on are either doing repairs
and modernization now or are con-
tenplating doing so in the next few
weeks. An actual estimate of the
amount of work in dollars and cents
however could not be obtained.
Mr.. Webb pointed out that the
Federal Housing Administration is
not urging anyone to make repairs
and modernization if it is not econom-
ically sound for the individual ito
do so. Neither is the FILA urging
anyone to borrow funds for this pur-
pose unless they can afford it. 1t is
merely making funds available
through private financial institutions
to individuals of character, reason
able credit and ability to repay. He
explained that the funds loaned for
either modernization or repair or for
insured mortgages, are not govern
ment funds but are funds supplied
by private financial institutions.
The Federal Housing Administra-
toin merely insures the loans against
loss. There are at the present time
approximately six million dollars in
cash available in Maryland for in
sured mortgages. The funds have
been set aside by banks, building and
loan associations and insurance COM
panies. The figuer is expected to be
enhanced from week to week as re-
ports come in from other financial
institutions.

most fortunately endowed with the

role of "Elder Statesman"

sold. Starting from most meagre
circumstances these individuals have
made indelible marks in the business
world and now return to their boy
hood haunts for the enjoyment Of the
fruits of their efforts.
They are rich in worldly posses

selves chooses to believe that these
are infnitesinal attributes compared

their lives pack.
speak, at this time, of Mr.. Harry
Hoskinson and DR.. Thomas j. Kelley
While only these two eminently sue
cessful citizens are named, there are
a score or more in a similar category
who, while disdaining to enter the
public eye in even the most remote
manner, would in all probability gen.
erously give of their time, knowledge
and business background to the Com
missioners in a consulting nature on
current financial and administrative
problems.
This plan appeals to the writer as
being most plausible and practical, if
only because of it's simplicity and
logic. With the President of the U. S.,
periodically calling in Non-Political
advisers on economic, financial and
business problems, it occurs to US the
would not be amis sin obtaining the
"Elder Statesman's" viewpoint.
In so doing our Commissioners
might well supplement their training
and experience with that Of native
Montgomerians, who have the re-
quisites necessary to view in retro
spect and from strictly business
angle the problems of County govern
ment.
This consultative pact would be of
invaluable aid in drawing up and
scrutenizing budgets and establishing
methods of raising the revenue and
in the end would serve as a great
benefit to all, and especially the tax
payer.
It is of course very possible or
should we say probable, that the
C Commissioners desire no cooperation

Glen Echo Park In
Full Swing AS Spring
Season Makes Start

With more than fifty diversified
amusements in full swing, and the
Pretzel thrilling thousands, Glen
Echo Park is living up to its reputa-
ton as Washington's premier recrea-
ton center.
One of the most popular novelties
ever introduced at the park is the
Pretzel-a new ride replete with
mysterious surprises. You enter a
self-propelled car that plunges into
total darkness; then, as the car twists
and turns on track shaped like an
old-fashioned pretzel, the real fun
begins. Weird figures suddenly ap-
pear. Strange noises assail the ears,
ICareening on a steel-bonded track,
the car continues it's thrilling dash
and, as the ride ends, you clamor to
repeat the experience. Already 10000
fun-seekers have patronized the
Pretzel.
In addition to the Pretzel, the
coaster dips, old mill, airplane swings,
carrousel, dodgem and midway of fun
continue to dispel care and assure
young and old the wholesome recrea-
ton for which Glen Echo is noted.
Nightly, except Sundays, McWil-
liams' twelve-piece orchestra of en-
tertainers provides the latest tunes in
the Observation-Disclosures Spanish
Garden Ballroom. Already known as
the highest-priced orchestra In Wash
ington, McWilliams' instrumentalists,
directed by the dynamic Phil O'Brien,
introduce new and novel features
every night. Dancing this season
starts at nine o'clock and is a three
hour session.

1t is then that these individuals,
devoid of selfish motives and imbued
only with the purpose of preserving
the national honor, dignity and secur-
ity are called upon periodically by
succeeding sovereigns irregardless
of political creed for council and

or recommendations from these
elder Statesmen" This will need to
be proven in the near future when
important fiscal policies are deter
mined. The writer, however, firmly
believes that the great mass of people
of this County would impose more
confidence and satisfaction in their
local government should an advisory
council of experienced, unprecedented
and unselfish men be invited periodi-
cally to council with the Commission
ers.
