OF THE COLONIALCOUNCIL FOR ST. CROIX. (Contined from yesterday’s Avis.) Ist Member for Christiansted Country District (Stakemann) remarked: Mr. Chairman. One party wants macadam and the other party wants concrete roads. Now I look upon the honorable 4th Member for Frederiksted Country District’s amendment as putting oil on troubled waters. It takes the decision of a matter of which only a very few of the members of this Council have any real knowledge and places the decision in the hands of experts, namely, the Road Commission and the Public Works Officer, who then have the responsibility. I can therefore favor the amendment with which I should think both parties would be satisfied. 4th Appointed Memher (Blackwood) remaked: Mr. Chairman. That’s the point I am trying to impress upon the Council. A concrete road might be the best in the world, butI claim that cen- ditions do not warrant the ripping up of our macadam roads to replace them with concrete only to satisfy a few persons. Are we in a position financially to under- take an expense sueh as is called for in this Ordinance? Who wculd want a eon- crete road on the northside. Ist Member for Frederiksted Country Dis'rict (Andersen): 1 would. 4th Appointed Member (Blackwood): I can quite understand that you would. You want the whole Island. sth Appointed Member (Lunney) re- marked: Mr. Chairman. We are hav- ing a great controversy over this mat- ter. Qur roads have juslL been repaired and we have an opportunity of seeing thz2 amount of demage done by the heavy trucks. . The ordinary method of making roads without a roller or stone crusheris not solid enough for the heavy traffic we are having at present; it is uecessary tha. we have good roads so as to enable us to transport our product to the Central Factory. Ifyou will allow me Mr. Chair- man [ will read an extgact from a letter frotn the Public Works Officer in St. St. Thomas, (the Member read the ex- tract) and said, —This is to show you the trend of events in the United States. 4th Appointed Member (Blackwood) remarked: Mr. Chairman. Ihave read the letter just read by the Honorable Member, it is fine reading: if the founda- tion of our roads were to be ripped up a proper foundation would have to be put in. My contention is, we do not need new roads, all we leed at pre:zent is to improve our old roads by reenforcing them. ~ The Chairman put 4th Member for
