K.COULLTER,
Ist Member for Frederiksted
Town.
15th. March,
1921.
Ist ‘Member
for
Frederiksted
Town
(Coulter)in introducing
the
resolution
said,—Mr. Chairman,
—bhave forwarded
this *esolution in the hope that this Coun-
cil
will give it considzration,
and
agree
to
the
appointment
of
the
commission
asked for.
:
The
reason
I have brought
this
matter
forward now is, because
there
are
a few
matters
with
regard
to
the
existing
Police
Regulations
which
need revision,
33d
there
are
some
few which need
to be
added
to
the
Police
Regulations.
Not
very long ago, during a discussion
in this
Council concerning
the Sanitary
Regula-
tions,
the question
as
to the
sale
of fish
on
the public
streets
disclosed
the
faet,
that
if
the
restrictions
of
the
Police
Regulations
on
that question
were
not
contrary
to the Ordinance
of I_th July,
1911, concerning
Trades
and Oceupations
in
St.
Croix they were certainly” not
in
harmony
with it.
Then again, there
are
one
or
two
matters
concerning
which,
there
are doubts if they
are quite in
ac-
cord
with
the
Code
of
Laws
recently
passed.
There
are
such
questions
in
conection
with
motor
vehicular traffic
as
follows:
viz: License
for' chaffeurs,
and
fee for same,
a standard
size for number
boards for automobiles,
and motor trucks
and trailers, the light for same and gener-
al rules
and
regulations
to
control
such
traffic in
the
Island.
We
have
regula-
tions
made
by
the
former
Director
of
Police
concerning
the
use
of
motor
trucks and trailers,
but
they are
not
in-
corporated
in the Police Regulations,
and
they
should
be.
At
present
automo-
biles
are
running
with
number
boards
of sizes varying from
4''x4’ to 11'‘x14”’
and all kinds
of lights
hanging
on
be-
hind
from
the
ordinary
hurricane
lan
terns to
a large carriage
lamp.
All this
should
not
be,—there
should be a stand-
ard
size
number
board
of
&
certain
color,
with letters
and
figures
of a_fix-
ed size
and
color,
and
these should
be
made and supplied
by
the Police Depart-
ment
for .a
certain
sum
. paid’ by
the
owner of the vehicle when he comes
to re-
gister the car
and
take out
‘a license for
it.
- Also with regard
to the lights, there
should bea
standard
sizeof
light. and
especially
with regard
to
the rearlight
and its
control
from
the inside of ‘the
car,
‘
,
:
Then we should
have
new regulations
relating
to the boat traffic in the
harbor
of Frederiksted,
especially
as
to
bum-
boats, anda
scale
of
charges for same,
