felt that the Acting Governor may not
care to approve this Bill if the Council
rushed its passage because the Governor
is in Washington where they are working
on a new system of taxation for the is
lands. If the Council did not give the AID
ministration sufficient time to state it's
views the Bill will not be approved and
therefore will not become law, thus the
much feared Congressional legislation may
yet be passed.
After some further discussion Member
P. E. Joseph made motion that the
Council go into committee of the whole to
consider the tax bill. The vote was taken
and the Chairman announced that the CON
mittee would meet after the recess

Member Paul e. Joseph proposed that
the second item on the Order of the Day
be advanced to item l. Member Golden
supported the request on the ground that he
wanted to hear the Councils views on the
tax bill before going to Washington. The
vote was taken with the result that the
second item was brought under discussion.
Member Golden made nice little speech
and urged the Council to pass the tax
bill so that the delegates would be in 81
position to say to Congress Gentlemen,
we have already passed tax bill. Here it
is" The speaker said he felt sure that if
the Council failed to act the Congress
would pass tax bill for the islands, there
fore the greatest urgency for speedy &C
ton existed. He was discussing the Bill
with lawyer who made suggestions as to
how it may be improved.
The Chairman said he disagreed with
Member Golden. He did not believe that
such an important matter as changing the
system of taxation on real property should
be rushed through the Council Member JOS
Alexander agreed that the Council should be
careful and, rather than acting with too
much haste it were better that Congress
pass the Bill.
Member R. de Chabert said that it was
doubtful if the Acting Governor had as
yet received a copy of the Bill and he be-
ieved that the Government would need
time to study and offer amendment. He
