(Canegata): That’s not quite correct. 1 should iike to see the letter. Despatching Secretary (Rappolee) re- marked: Mr. Vice-Chairman. The ap- pointment probably was on another date, but the origin in the Council Office reads th> 14th May, and the copy in the Dospa’ching Secretary’s office is also dated May 14th. 9nd Member for Christiansted Town (Canegata) remarked: Mr. Vice-Chairman. Then, there must have been a wrong copy handed to the Council, because I saw the date on the letter of appoint- ment when it was presented to the Council, arel [ drew the attention of 2nd Member for Frederiksted Country Dis- trict to it, and he, 1 believe, will bear me out. Ist appointed Member (Coulter) re- marked: Mr. Vice-Chairman. The Hon- orable 2nd Member for Christiansted 'fown (()a&egata) is right in his stat. ment. T communication from the Governor to the Council states that my appointment is dated May 10. Perhaps that was an oversight. But my appoint- ment was received by me while I was sick in bed and i showed it to two gen- tlemen who visited me at the time and particularly drew their attention to the date. ‘ 9nd Member for Christiansted Town (Canegata): Mr. Vice-Chairman. [ re- quest that the letter of appointment be- produced. The Chair ordered that the letter should be brought. Government Secretary (Gaffney) re- marked: Mr. Vice-Chairman. 1 wrote the appointment and it is dated May 14th. Ist Member for Christiansted Town (Abramson) entered the meeting at this stage of the proceedings. The Vice-Chairman: The letter of ap- pointment is sent for. In the meantime let us proceed with the meeting. A resume of the business transacted ST. MARY’S MOVIES Tuesday, June 26, 1923, 8.15 P. M. WALLACE REID IN “THE LOVE SPECIAL”. 5 REEL COMEDY.
