be dropped at the end of this fiscal
year. l cannot submit to the argument
that paying a salary will make for
more democratic election and legisla-
ton because the inverse is also true.
Ii you set a premium on membership
people will be s%crambling to become
members and that is where the
amount of the sum comes in. If you
are going to pass a salary for council
men | will be in favor of it as we can
from time to time pay; and | think
the time to put that in is when your
new budget comes up. Speaking for
myself cannot say that because | am
not getting a salary l am not doing nv
best, and I do not think it fair to any
n OF you gentlemen present to say
you are not doing your best. You can
have meetings every day of the week
II you so desire and have $500 for
each and in the long run have more
than the salary, but two wrongs do
not make a right. | ask members to
carefully consider where this $500
could be used in the next four months.
We have Ereed for water in the coun-
try districts, drilling of wells, ETC., we
have a telephone system which is al
most totally useless that could be ma
materially helped. l could carry
on for half an hour pointing the var
lous uses this money could be put to,
for instance a detail Of buying chairs
tor members, the things we are sitting
on now are horrible. / do not think
we should shake the confidence of
the people in us, we must cut our
suits to fit u cloth. It is said that the
legislators in our sister island are paid
$4,000 per month. That cannot be TAX
en- into consideration. l would suggest
that at this time the salary bill be
dropped if not, let me hear an amend
ment within what the Municipality
could afford.
1st Member for Christiansted Coun-
try District Chase: Mr.. Chairman.
Some OF the arguments adduced here,
to my mind, while they were intended
to be against the bill are in support of
1t. Under the heading of stipend we
are told that there is an evil which
could run for a long time, we may
have four or five meetings in a month
which will call for a greater amount
than a salary would call for; if we do
recognize that there is an evil and one
which looms up in connection with a
stipend we should use a club and bust
the head OF that monster and let us
cooperate rather than open ourselves
to temptation. We are councilmen but

before the Legislative Assembly than
ever before and the amount budgetted
could not carry nine members in St.
Thomas for the duration of the Assem-
bly, meeting. 1t is estimated that we
will collect upwords of $4,000 under
Internal Revenues and that is not de-
batable. If you look at the bill YOU
will see that stipend is to be deleted
also lunches for which you have been
paying $500, likewise the amount of
$500 budgetted under Municipal Com
mittee for allowance to members or
their substitutes per meeting will be
deleted. AL the money we are spend
ing for stipend, lunches, etc. will 90
toward the amount to pay salaries to
members Of Council; and, Mr.. Chair
man, | assume that under the Munich
pal Council and the Municipal Com
mittee there will be substantial saw
lngS at the end of this fiscal year
which may go into some project. 1t
must also be bourne in mind that pre-
sent members of Council are not en-
joying the privileges which were ac-
corded former members, they were
allowed to do business with Govern
ment, they were allowed to hold Gov
eminent jobs for which they were
paid substantial amounts of money;
but with conditions as they are today
believe if a salary is paid to members
of Council we will have a better and
more democratic form of government
in this island because those who are
In a better position to state the condi-
ton and actual need of those who can
not afford to run will be given a seat
in Council. There are several reasons
l a give why a salary should be paid
to members of Council. I believe it is
better in principle than a stipend be-
cause under the stipend system one
can collect more money than on a
salary basis because there is no limit
to the number of meetings that may
be held. This bill stands in the name
of eve members of Council and
ask in behalf of myself and the other
six that it be given favorable consid-
Grafton.
The Chairman Harrigan): The bill
is before the House on 1st discussion.
/ would like to say a few words before
the bill goes to Committee Of the
Whole; and | want to state before it
is put to the House that the question
of salary for councilmen is nothing
new, in 1947 when the Sixth Council
came into office at a caucus it decided
that a salary should be requested, but
the set back was that a number of
, 1949-11-05

AlOt ueVlate from LnaL, ana as lar as l
am concerned there may be a Slight
difference in the amount. I know that
members cannot give their time free;
know that IL the Union office there
are many problems to which l have
to give whole day attention, and be-
cause of that I know that members
cannot give the service they should
unless they are paid because they
have to scramble for a living. The
Executive branch of the government
has said that our bills could be more
effective if more time were taken to
draft and have legal advice on them.
Our colleagues in st. Thomas are Civ
ing three days consideration to one
bill. Which n of us here that is able
to do that? | do not think it is right
to excite the people where paying a
salary to councilmen is concerned. We
must appear decent. l rather clamor
here for a salary than agree to any
AOu1 OSd1 OSI11tlO Tie QOOI.
I'd Member for Frederiksted Town
(Mc Farlane): Mr.. Chairman. At this
time l want to make myself clear on
this particular issue. In principle l
am in favor of a salary for members
OF Council. The arguments advanced
here r clear and I suppose every
member present can see just reason
in them. If a man is paid he would
be able to devote all his time to his
work and, therefore, will not have
to look for other income. On the other
hand with your intake of revenues
there are other things that require at
tention before members of Council
seek to vote themselves a salary of
$1,000 per annum; in other words, we
must first take steps to better the con-
dition of the people Of this island be-
fore seeking a salary for ourselves. l
do agree that a salary is necessary but
within keeping of our economic struc-
ture.
The Chairman Harrigan): Are you
in favor Of a salary for members of
Council?
End Member for Frederiksted Town
CMc Farlane): Yes, within keeping of
the municipalities ability to pay.
- ~ -.
try District (Skeoch): Mr.. Chairman.
There al be little doubt by any
as to the advisability of a salary for
councilmen,but in considering the bill
before Council today we must do so
from various angles, it proposes a sa-
larry Of $4,000 per annum for each
member and it is said that the money
to pay that is almost there, some al

American Studying
In Czechos|ovakia
Held 5 Days as Spy
by the Associotsd Press

PRAGUE, Oct. IA 26-year-
old American student, here on a
scholarship as the guest of the
Czechoslovak government, said to-
day he was arrested as a suspected
spy, kept in solitary confinement
for five days and fed on "slop."
The story was given to news
men by Savel Kliachko of Palo
Alto, Calf. He saw correspondents
at the American Embassy, where
he reported his case to officials.
