have the
salary
of
the
cierk increased.
I
believe
the
policy
of
the
Municipal
Committee
is,
that
there
be
no reduction
or
inerease
in
salaries;
but
here
is
a
clerk laboring under
great
difiiculties.
I
don’t believe
the
salary
proposed
by the
Municipal
Committee
for
the
clerk
of
this Department
is sufficient
to
compen-
cate
him.
As
Government
has
e
tab-
lished
a precedent
by
calling
on
Heads
of Departments
to
give
elucidations
on
matters
concerning
their
departments,
I request
that
the
Pubiic
Works Officer
be
called
in
to
give
his
views
on
this
matter.
Government
Secretary
(Gaffney)
re-
marked:
Mr.
Vice-Chairman.
Il
note
that
the Honorable Ist Membef for Fred-
eriksted
Town
is
proposiag
to
take
the
m ney
with
whieh
to
cover
his amend-
ments
from
genearal
contingent.
This
amount
is
put
down
on
the
budget
to
tike
care
of
a
number
of
money
bills
which
may
come
up
during
the
course
of the year.
But for
a
member
to pro-
pose
to
compensate
any employee
from
this portion
of
the
budget
set
aside
for
special
purposes,
Government
will
not
agree.
2nd
Member
for
Christiansted
Town
(Canegata):
Mr. Viee-Chairman.
I would
like to know
whether Government
would,
in
view
of
the
amendments
which are
to come,
increase
the
Federal
allotments
to St. Croix.
Government
Secretary
(Gaffney
: Mr.
Vice-Chairman
The
Revenue
side
of
the budget
was passed
upon
without Gov-
eg®ment
being
represented
in
the Coun-
cil.
I
wish
to
bring
up the
automobile
tax.
‘The ordinance
does
not provide for
a road fund.
Apart
from that
one
item
Government
is
willing
to
accept
the
amendments
made
by
the
Municips!
Committee.
[
cannot
give
any.
dircet
answer
(o the Honorable
Member’s
ques-
tion
until i know the
disposition of
that
item.
2nd
Member
for
Christiarsted
Town
(Canegata):
The remarks
of the
Council
on any bill are
not
binding, only what is
contained
in the
bill itself is obligatory,
(Government
Secretary
:(Gaffney)
re-
marked:
Mr.
Viee-Chairman.
Govern-
ment
will
compeesate
for
the
changes
nade
today
with
the
thorough
under-
standing
that general
contingent
is
not
to be further reduced.
The
Vice Chairman
remarked:
After
hearing
those
remarks
I
will
put
the
Municipal Committee’s
amendments
to
the
vote
subject
to
amendmments
that
may
be brought
in by members.
The
Municipal
Committee’s
amend-
ments,
according
to
the motion
made
by
22d
Member
for
Christiansted
Town
[Canegzata],
was
put
to ike vote in jts

With the result

EDIiTORIAL.
The
Chairman
of the
Municipal
Com-
mittee,
Dr. Canegata,
advises
us that
it
is
already
settled
that the
first
of
the
two
public cisterns
will
be
ereected
in
Christiansted.
There
is
no
doubt
as
regards
this
as
commented
upon
in our issue
of Saturday
13th.
The
only
question
i3, just
where this cistern
will
be
mosr suitably
located
to
gain the
ad-
vantags
of
receiving
water
from
the
|
I,ofs of public
buildings.
Itis
believed
the
grove adjoining the well at
the
east
end of Queen
St. will
meet
