(Canegata)
and
croposed
that
a
clause
be
inserted
in
the
Resoluuon
that
no
members
should
receive
pay for
two
meetings
in
one dzy.
2ad
Member
for
Christiansted
Town
(Ca. cgata)
remarked:
Mr.
Chairman.
[ think the best
thing
tn
dois
to
bring
in an amendment
to
the
Rules
of
Busi-
ness for
the
Municipal
Committee
that
no
meeting
of
the
Committee
be
held
on the same
day
there
is
Council
meet-
ing.
4th Appointed
Member (Blackwood)
re
marked:
Mr. Chairman.
Business
is
lia-
ble to come
up that
may
require
a meet-
ing of the Municipal
Committee
on
the
same
day
on
which
there
is
a
meeting
of
the
Courcil.
That
happened
while
I was Chairman
of
the
Municipal
Com-
mittee.
[t was
no
pleasure
to
us
as
we
had
to hurry
so
as
to
send
in
our
re-
commendations.
llf the
present
Chair-
man of the Muncipal
Committee
can
use
his influence
to
have
it so arranged
that
tliere
be
no
meeting
of
the
Muncipal
Committe on the same day there
is a Coun-
cil meeting,
that’s
alright,
but I
do not
see
any
reason
to change
the
Rules
of
Business
for
tne
Municipal Committee.
1 travel
about
forty
miles
to
attend
a
meeting of the
Council
and
receive
Six
ST
ARO 1 X ayNIiS
Dollars
for
travelling
expenses,
but
I
never complain.
I am perfectly
willing
to receive
what
the others
are receiving.
and
am always willing to work gratis
as
I have
done
on many occasions.
2nd
Member
for
Christianstéd
Town
(Canegata)
remarked:
Mr.
Chairman.
I want to say
that
what
4th
Appointed
Member
(Blackwood)
says
will
not
ap-
ply,
because
the
Rules
of
Business
for
the
Municipal
Committe
provides
that
Members
of
the
Committee
must
be
giver two days
notice.
%y
The Chairman
remarked:
I
do not
see
that
there
is
anything
to
be
gained
with this discussion,
let
us
confine
our-
selves
to
the
item
on
the
Order
Day.
If Honorable
Members
have
no
further
remarks
to
make
on
the
Resolution
I
will close
the
discussion.
No one
requesting
the
word
further
the discussion
closed,
the
Secretary
read
the Resolution
in its
amended
f>rm
and
the Chairtnan
put
same
to
the
vote.
It was
unanimously
adopted.
The Chairman
then
gave
a

Correspondence
To The Voters For Christian-
sted Country District.
Dear
Voters:
:
As
the
Government
notice
has
informed you:
the seat
for Ist. Member
for
Christiansted
Country
District,
is
now
declared
vacant,
and
an
election
takes place
on the 26th inst.
Beyond
a doubt,
the
retired
Member
was really
the
right
man
in
the
right
place;
and
we are
bound
to realize,
that
a very difficult task awaits
us in endeav-
ouring to fill that
place
with anothe,
~
equally as good—nay,
we
may
say
that
~
‘“‘thati- an
impossibility”’.
In
Lawyer
~
A. E.
Stakemann:
to
put
it plainly
in
~
few
words—we
had
an
‘‘¥xperienced
~
Political
Hero’’,
‘A
"Fearless
Speaker
~and Debater’”
and
a
man
whose
know-
~
ledge and foresight of matters
pertaining
to his counirymen’s
weal
or
woe,
bears
-
comparison
with
the
best
known of the
day,
here
or elsewhere.
Bnt,
Fate
has
determined
it—and
we
-
must
submit,
and
try our best,
and
seek
-
to get into that
Legislative Body
men of
-
some knowledge
of the need
of the times,
-
men that have
kept
themseives
posted,
~
as to the
matters
which
tend to the
in-
~
terest
of the
people
or
not,
asthe
case
ryay
be.
We
do
not
want
those
who
have to be taught
the
debating
tricks of
-~
well-learned
and
experienced
‘'Jacks
of
~
the I'rade’’, but
we
want
the
man who
~
isup
to
such,
and
can
counterpiot
to
_suit.
Sleerers
and
Drones
wi!l not
do
~
for thase
days.
Silent
men,
whese
only
-
move isa witk or
a
nod,
must
be
left
~out.
Let
us have
active
hustlers
clean
|
tongued
and clear brained.
|
According to the
needed
qualifications,
~
my dear
Friends
and Voters—Let
us
vote
~
for James
Roberts—and
we
will have
in,
~
the best
man
to
fight
for
the
people’s
~
welfare,
today and
always.
Yours faithfully
A
YOTER.

ST. CROIX STATION.
Belfast,
August 15th.—The
text of tke
Ulster
Cabinet’s
observations
on
the
British Government’s
proposal
for peace
"
in Ireland,
signed
by
Sir
James
Craig,
-
the
Ulster
Premier,
was
made
public
here last
2vening.
The
statement
says
that the
acceptance
by
the
Ulster lead-
~ers of the original invitation of the Brit-
.
ish
Government
to
meet
in
conference
-
with it in
London,
still
holds
good
and
-
that they will be
available
at
any
time
'
their
assistance
is
again
desired.
Sir
.
~
James
points out,
however,
that no
meet-
'
ing is possible
between
Mr.
De
Valera
.
and
himself
until
he
recognizes
that
-
Northern
Ireland
cannot
be
subject
to
any other authority than of His
Majesty
the King and the Parliament
of the Uni-
ted Kingdom,
and
admits
the sanctity of
'
the
existing
powers
and
privileges
of
-
parliament
and
government
of Northern
.
Ireland.
The statement
in part reads:—
.~
‘““My dear
Premier,
your
proposals
for
.
an Irish
settlement
now
have
been
ex-
|
haustively
examined
by my Cabinet
and
.
myself.
We realize
that
the
preamble
'
is especially
addressed
to Mr. De Valera
"
and his followers and
observe
that it im-
