Ist
Member
for
Frederiksted
Co ntry
District
(Andersen)
remarked:
Mr.
Chairman.
1
wish
to
make
a
few
re-
mnarks.
I see
there
is budgetted
for
the
Police
Department
twelve
revolvers
at
Frs.
100 each,I beiieve
that
could
be
gxcluded.
1
was
told
in
conversation,
that
2
patrolmen
can
very
weil
get-
along with
the
same
revolver, and
that
it
is
not
necessary
for
each
man
to
have
a revolver.
Lately, there
was
an
ac
ciden:
at Kings Hiil--A Policeman
while
cleaning
his
revolver
shot
some
one.
The
community
is a well
behaved
com-
munity, and
therefore
we can
get alofig
very
well
without
additional
revolvers
for the Policemen.
9nd
Member
for Christiansted
Town
(Canegata)
remarked:
I
do
not
agree
with
the
Honorable
Ist
Member
for
Frederiksted
Country
District.
If you
are
going
to
have
the
men
armed,
all
should
b@
armed;
if
you
do
not
arm all, you
will
not
be
able
to
have
proper
control.
Ido
not think the
avgu-
ment
is sound.
If you reduce
the
num-
ber of revolvers.
you
may
as
well reduce
horses
and saddles.
Ist
Member for Frederiksted
Country
Distriet
(Andersen)
remarked:
Mr.
\
Chairmar.
I
am
not
acainst
having
horses
ana
saddles.
4th
Appointed
Member
(Blackwood)
remarked:
Mr.
Chairman.
I
do
not
believe
in the Police
borrowing revolvers
from
each
other.
If
we are
to have
a
proper
Police Force,
the
men
should
be
armed:
notonly
armed.
but
trained
io
use
and
&..p
their
arms
in
order.
I
don’t think ‘it would be
any saving
to the
general
public
to
take
away
the
arms
from
the
Poilcemen.
1
advocate
that
each Policeman
be armed
with a revoiver.
2n
Member
for
Christiansted
Town
(Canegata)
remarked:
Mr.
Chairman.
In
going
over the budget
the
Municipal
Committee
went
into
this
question
and
we
found
that
some
of
the
Policemen
are armed,
and
some
are
not,
and there-
fore only twelve additional
revolvers
are
needed.
The
(‘hairman
asked
4th

senior
member
of
the
House
to take
the
Chair
as
Acting
Chairman.
Accordingly
4th
