This ques-

attitude
on the matter
so
that
I could bring in

remarked:
Mr.
Viece-Chairman.
After hearing the vari-
ous
remarks,
particularly
those
of
the
Public Works Officer,
the time is not
yet
ripe to bring in this
am2ndment.
I can-
not
vote for this amendinent,
because
1
do not know what it mieans.
4th Member for
Christiansted
Country
District (Ramsay)
remarked:
Mr. Vice-
Chairman.
The
Honorable
Ist
Member
for Frederiksted
Country
District
is quite
correct,
butI think
this
will enlichten
him.
As
regards
the
spending
of
the
money
!
cannot.say
how
it
should
be
spent,
but the Public
Works
Officer
cer-
tainly
knows
how it shou!d
be
spent.
1
have
a list here
and
one
can readily
see
that
it is a
memorial
by
the people,
ad-
dressed
to
Government
asking
that
the
lights on
the »*reets
be burnt all night.

Mr.

Idon’tsee
how
1
can
vote
for
sonething
that I have not read
[
trust
you fully;Ihear
you
read
Da..
v.
Ordinance,

can
vofe
on a matter
without
seeing
it.
As f.
as I see I signed
the Ordinance.
The
(Vice-Chairman):
The changes
proposed
are
merely
a
few
gramatical
errors.

2nd
Member
for Christiar.sted_'l‘own
(Canegata)
1 feel that I am quite
incom-
petent
to vote for something
that
1
have
not read.
My uew
is
that
the r'r?ter
should
be placed
on the table for
inspec-
tion of members
before
a
vote
is
taken
upon
it.
Government
Secretary
(Gaffney)
re-
marked:
Mr. Vire-Chairman.
This
Ordi-
nance
has
been
five months
waiting f"or
these
corrections,
and
it
is
the
desire
of Government
that
the
Tax
on
Auto-
mobiles
comes
into
forece
and
efiect
on
the Ist day of July
of
the
presert
year.
It
is
therefore
necessary
to
a:k
the
Council to
correet
cnly
matters
¢f Eng-
lish and
in
no wise to
make
any change
in the law.
9nd

Mr.
Vice-Chair-
man.
|

no
doubt
about
that.
I
don’t
want
to
interfere
with fthe
vote
taken.
1 merely
feit
that
the
matter
could have
been
laid
on
the table during
the
recess.
The
Vice Chairman:
Gentlemen
of
the Council.
Although the
vote has
been
taken
Government
is willing to place thg
matter
on

of

The Ordinance
