Discussion

1921-22
as
ad-
ditional aid to King’s Hill Poor Farm
(introduced by Government.)
4th Appointed Member (Mclntosk)
ask-
ed the Chairman
for permission
to make
a lew remarks
and
said:
We have here
the report
of
the
Municipal Committee.
It is
voluminous
and
impossible
for us
e
to look it through
and
make suggestions.
Couldn’t
we be
given
copies
of this e
port?

The
Chairman
replied
saying:
Ac-
cording
to the
law
the
minutes
of the
Municipal Committee
are
to
be laid be-
fore the Colonial
Council
and ean
be
in-
spected
at
the
Council
Office.
Wo
pro-
vision is made for printing.
4th Appointed Member (Mclntosh) said:
Mr. Chairman,
bat
such
a report should
be
in
our possession
so
that
we
could
read it at our leisure.
The Chairman
said:
That
would
ne-
cessitate
an additional
money
bill to pro-
vide for printing.
However,
we
cannot
take that up today.
2nd
Appointed
Member
(Noll)
said:
Mr. Chairman,
would
it
not
be possible
for
the Secretary
to
the
Council
and
Municipal
Committee
to typewrite
five
or
six
carbon
copies
at
one
time.
He
surely could
get
the
report
written; he
has
sufficient
time
to
do
that
instead
of
sitting all
day
and
looking
at
the
office.
Ist
Appointed
Member
(Henderson)
said:
But Mr. Chairman,
we would have
to
come from
Frederiksted
to read
the
minutes.
Tte Chairman
said:
I will try to have
.
it typewritten
as requested.
We
will now
proceed
with
the
Order
of
the
Day,

EDITORIAL.
QOur
press
sustained
an
accident
yes-
terday
which
caused
the
papers
to
be
late
for mailing
to
Frederiksted,
{and
e although
repaired,
it is again
out
of
order
today
with
the
same
result
for
which
we ask the kind indulgence of our
subscribers
in the country
and Frederik-
sted
It
is
hoped
to have
the press
in
good condition for tomorrow’s issue.
We
beg
to publicly
thank
Mr. D. Hamilton
Jackson,
Editor
of
‘“The Herald’”’, for
kis
kindness
in
coming
to
our
aid
in
placing
his press
at our disposal.
We desire to thank
the
Assistant
Di-
rector of Education
for a copy of the
an-
nual report of the Department
of Educa-
tion in St. Croix for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1922.
It is found to be not alone
a big piece ofclerical work,
but
a
very
interesting review
of
the
school
activi-
ties along all lines, in detail.
It is hoped
to return
to this subject of schools in the
SEOROIX
AViS
near future,
when
we
will be
prepared
to make quotations
from
the
report

ferred to. &

T> the Editor ‘*St. Croix Avis.”’
Dear Sir:
Kindly
allow
me
space
in
your
valuable paper
to make
a few remarks
in
connection
with the football
match
play-
ed on the Oval Pasture,
Frederiksted,
on
Sunday
last,
between
the
Merry
Juve-
nile Club of this town
and
the
so-called
picked
eleven
from
the
St.
Patrick’s
school
of Frederiksted,
which
won
the
match technically.
Until
we
reached
Frederiksted
the
members
of our club were of the
opinion
that
we were to oppose
a juvenile
tearmn,
but upon being
introduced
to
our
oppo-
nents,
we were astonished
to
find them
husky
men,
who were
more than
a match
for us from
a physical standpoint.
Upon first
consideration
we
were
in-
clined to abandon
the
match,
but
after
some
deliberation
we
decided
to
meet
them,
inasmuch
as
we
had
labored for
over an hour to prepare
the field for the
game,
which work included
the
digging
of holes for planting goal posts,
while the
‘‘gallant’’ men of the other team
did
in-
spection.
It is little wonder that
the
boys
apart
from being unfairly matched
in any case,
were physically exhausted.
®
We
ghall
be glad to play
a match
in
Christinnsted
againgt
a
genuine
picked
eleven from the St. Patrick’s school,
and
to extend
to them
the
co-operation
and
courtesy
to which
a visiting team
is
en-
titled.
With thanks for space,
®
I remain respectfully
.
