u
Courts decision was seemingly found in areas. which
counsel failed to recognize as controlling or even relevant.
We interpret the decision to be that even though the law
may support the proposition of law urged on behalf OF
Respondent, nevertheless, because OF exceptional circun-
stances which were pointed out by the Court, it does not
apply to the Legislature of the Virgin Islands. District
Court opinions unquestionably are read with respect by
judges Of appellate courts. The coincidence that the Trial
Judge in this case happens also to be a member of the
Court to which this appeal is taken and the even greater
respect that his Brethren are likely to accord his views,
serves to increase the sense of t~repidation and humility
with which | approach the task OF expressing disagree
ment with the Courts Opinion.
The Trial Judge stated the task with which he was
confronted in the following language:
In these circumstances this Court must decide
whether the Congressional grant Of status and
authority to the Legislature Of the Virgin Is
lands -. enables the Legislature to empower
its committees to conduct official inquiries and
Investigations after final adjournment of the
legislative session"
This, we submit, states the issue much too broadly. It
was not contended by Respondent that the Legislature
lacks such power. The authority to create an interim in
v~estigating committee is expressly conceded. The point
we tried to make was that it could not do so by Resolution.
Because of counseTs inadequacy perhaps, we seem never
to have made our position entirely clear. It is undeniable
that Congress, in the Revised Organic Act expressly con-
ferred on the Legislature power to institute and conduct
Investigations. 1t is equally unquestionable that this
power is one that is inherent in legislative assemblies
and, therefore, existed without the expressed grant. We
cannot see why decisive Importance should attach to the
fact that the grant is separately expressed; nor is it per
.ceived how a power which fully exists is made greater
by merely being expressly reafrmed. We concur in the
Courts view that while the Act empowers only the Legis-
lature to investigate that such power can be delegated to
a COMMITTEES. What should not be lost sight Of in this con-
nection, we submit, is that the committee is acting as an
arm Of the legislature; the legislature cannot delegate
powers which~it does not possess or which has ceased to
exist by adjournment sine die. :" The limb cannot exist
after the body has persisted sThe agent or deputy can
not act after his principal is extinct AS the Court
said in Fergus v. Russell. supra:
The only powers which can be conferred
upon and delegated to such committee are such
powers as are possessed by the house or houses
making the appointment. AS all the powers of
the Legislature as such ceased upon its final adj
%journment, it must follow that all the powers
which have been delegated by it, or either house
thereof, to a committee by mere resolution cease

LEGISLATIVE RECORD
Continued from yesterday


eThea constitutional provisions Cart. II, sec. ~
that. after the first legislature, the sessions shall
not be more than sixty days, is a limitation upon
the power of enacting laws and is in no sense a
limitation upon the function OF investigation.
This remarkable pronouncement completely ignores
he fundamental precept Of constitutional law that the
power to investigate is derived from and in
leres in the power to l~egislate. 1t exists IN aid OF the
to legislate and when the power to legislate ceases,
he power to investigate ceases. This was recognized by
Judge Schwellenback, dissenting in these words:
oThe biennial sessions of the legislative branch
of the state government are thus limited TO Sixty
DAYS When any such session of the legislature
adiourns sine die, its functions, as the legislative
branch of government. entirely cease. Its mem
bers lose all power as legislators; true, they are
still Senators and Representatives, entitled to
hold their offices during the remainder OF the
two or four year terms for which they were
elected, but they are Senators and Representa-
tives without any power to act as such. they
cannot make laws; they cannot reconvene, IN
less called in special session by the governor;
they cannot perpetuate themselves in power;
they cannot, unless by act OF the legislature, APP
poina committees to serve subsequentto adjourn
ment. The adjournment sine die ends their labors
for that particular session"
Even when taken at face value the Robinson Y. Fluent
ase is not an answer to the problem here. The court based
IS decision largely upon the inherent powers OF leglsla-
ure which in their sphere are plenary; except in SO Tar
S they are restricted by constitutional provisions. Our
Government IS one OF delegaIeQ powers.
Broad powers have been delegated to the Legislature -
all the authority and attribute inherent in legislative as
emblies' = it is restricted, however, in the length OF its
essions. This constitutional restriction cannot be evaded
irectly or indirectly. The restriction was placed in the
Sevised Organic Act to remedy what Congress considered
n unsatisfactory situation, when was permissible under
he 1886 Act, whereunder the Municipal Councils could
practically at will and at considerable unnecessary
ost. If. before adjournment of the regular sixty-day ses-
ion. the Legislature may resolve itself into interim COM
then the restrictive provision of the. Organic Act
effectively nullifed.

THE EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES SUG-
BY THE TRIAL COURT ARE NOT SUFFICE
TO REMOVE THIS CASE FROM H APPLICA-

On the controlling question of law involved in this

were not in complete harmony, but did not

wish to adopt the minority view; otherwise, the deci-

Where's the money!" He took
about $400 from the pockets Of
Mr.. Lubin's pants, which hung
on a chair in the bedroom.
They were bound hand and
foot with bed sheets, and the
ransacking began. When the
Lubins complained that the
sheets were tied too tight, one
of the gunner pulled out a knife
and cut the nylon cords from the
venetian blinds. He tied the
couple to the chairs, and this
ransacking resumed.

ANNAPOLIS. Jan. 1.-THE
1857 Maryland Legislature is be-
ing asked to throw its weight
behind the fight of Montgomery
and Prince Georges counties tc
keep a proposed $500 million
PEPCO power plant on the

River.
Senator Edward S. Northrop
Democrat of Montgomery. said
today he will introduce a bill tc
exempt from State and county
property taxes the dam that
.PEPCO would have to build or

power plant.
The Senator said the eXemp-
ton ''is part of the agreement
we made to get PEPCO to builo
the plant in Montgomery Coun-
Ity." He emphasized that the
exemption would not apply tc
the plant and grounds itself.
PEPCO has picked out site:
for it's proposed new plant or
both the Loudoun County (Va.)
and Montgomery County sides Of
the river. The power that woulc
be generated would be trans

In this connection. Delegates

School Bonds
Sold al 4.57%

SOUTH NORFOLK. Va, Jan.
IL tP1.-A Virginia investment
combine has bought a $4,000
South Norfolk school improve
ment bond issue two months
after its previous bid was re-
jected as too high.
City council last night voted
to sell the issue to the syndi-
cate on a bid Of Asst per cent
average net interest rate. The
previous bid from the combine
last November offered a 4.99 per
cent average net interest rate.
The rate agreed to yesterday
was better than the 4.74 per
cent Fairfax County got on a
So million issue. but not as good
as the 3.84 per cent Norfolk got
on a SIS million issue.
All three issues were bought
by the same combine of five
flrms-the only school bond
issues sold in the State since the
General Assembly passed the
Stanley school plan.
Some investment bankers
blame the Stanley plaza pro-
posal of Gov. Stanley which
would close public schools in a
locality if a school desegregated
for the high interest rate and
lack of bids on school bond is
sues. Gov. Stanley has said
the present tight money mar
ket is to blame.
Yesterdays offer was made by
G.. Powell Davis. representing
the Investment Corp. of Nor
folk. Other members Of the
combine are the Peoples Ma
tional Bank of Charlottesville
and Edward G. Webb g. Co.,

Throw those names out in

Yet all of these are honored
with sturdy memorials in this

The monument to Hahne-
mann, inscribed "Similia, SIM

the more impressive of these
memorials to the unknown
today.
1t depicts a robed figure,
slightly bald, seated in an atti-

imposing and deliberately
carved and columned niche
in one of the city's tiny parks.
