(Continued from yesterday’s
Avis.)
Ist
Member for Frederiksted
Country
District
(Andersen):
Do
1
understand
that the Governor is
nct
in
receipt
of a
reply from the
Chairman
of the
Colonial
Council?
Government
Secretary (Gaffney):
That'l
correct.
I
will
state
again
that
the
Governor
will sign
the
original
ordin-
ance
as presented
to him by
Officers
of
the Council.
Ist
Member for Frederiksted
Country
District
(Andersen):
1
am
quite
satis-
fied.
1
was
only
wondering
why
the
Chairman
did not reply
before.
1
never
knew
before
today
that
the
matter
rests
with the Chairman
of the
Council.
The Vice-Chairman:
As far as1 know
it won’t
take
much
time
to
make
the
necessary
corrections
4th
Appointed
Member
[Blackwood]:
Do I understand
the
Government
Secre-
tary
to say
that the
Government
is
not
going
to allow any
more
special
funds?
In other words,
is the
Immigration Fund
to
be done away
with?
1t seems
to me
ST
kBl3
AVY
IS
that the special funds
are very esser-tial.
The
Vice-Chairman
in
reply
to
the
Honorable
4th
Appointed Member
said:
The Government
Secretary
savs
that
the
Government
will not
allow the
erearion
of any
rew funds.

remairked:
M.. Vice-

Before
putting
the
Budget
to
the
vote I would
like to
bring to the
notice
of
the
Council
the
need
for
a
Police
Judge
in Frederiksted.
Isee
no
reason
why Frederiksted
should
not have
its
own judge.
A great
many of us
are
put
to a great
deal of
inconvenience
by
our
not
having
a
recident
judge.
I
would like to have this matter
settled
be-
fore the bud- et is pas<ed.
