Ind Member for Frederiksted Coun-t
try District fHodge): Mr.. Chairman.
Being a co-sponsor of this bill wish
to state that the Municipal Commit
tee has gone through it with the Gov
nor and the Administrator, today.
| will give the background, sc that
members may be acquainted with the
} facts. In 1916 whensthe FWA started
to construct eW-roads it became ne
cessary that the Municipality enter
into contract with them in order to-
carry out the purpose of the ten mil
lion dollar program and it was neces-
sary for the Municipality to establish
a project fund with a. loan from-one
OF the public funds to purchase that
equipment withfthe understanding
the loan be paid>baek to the fund. The
reason for. making this Introductory
remark is because, at present money
is needed for the purchase of road
equipment; and if we can lend this
money from the immigration Fund
to purchase these items of equipment
that are needed it will enable the
Public Works Department to enter
into a contract to work on the
roads. Presently we have one grader
and the Public. Works can do only
as much work as the grader can ac-
compllsh; it is necessary to have a
bull-dozer and other items of equip.
ment SO that the road work can be
started The equipment purchased
will be rented after the work is COM
pleted, more people will be employed
and the cash.colected against the rem
tai Of the equipment will be paid into
the fund from which the money was
loaned
