that I can throw
a little light on this mat-
ter.
The
Ordinanc>
as
passed
is
an
amendment
to
th2
existing
ordinance,
and necessitates
a reprinting
of
the
or-
dinance,
bringing in
the
amendments
so
that
you would have
one complete
instru-
ment.
In doing
that
Goverpment
came
across
certain
passages
where
.
- n-
olish
was not quite clear.
It was for .his
reason
that
Government
r:ferred
the
mitter
to the
Cheirman
of
the
Colonial
¢ ouncil for correction.
Ist Member for
Frederiksted
Country
District (Andersen)
remarked:
Mr. Vice-
Chairman.
As far as I know about
legis-
lative
practice,
in
all
the
States
of the
U.ion
the
State
Governors
have
certain
time
to
approve
certain
measur
= [do
not know if our Governor
can
allow
cer-
tain
ordinance
to
remain
in
abeyance
or
whether
it
would
die
after
lapse
of
t me.
9nd
Member
for
Christiansted
Town
(Canegata):
1
would like to ask
a ques-
tion if tne Government
Secretary
permits
me.
What
difference
would
it
make
if
the Automobile Tax
goes
into a separate
fund?
Government
Secretary
(Gafiney):
It
would
entail
additional
clerical
work.
With
regard
to
question
raised
by the
the Honorable Ist Member tfor Frederik-
sted
Country District
(Andersen)
I know
of no requirements
or
time limit for the
Governor
to approve
measures
ipassed
by
she Colonial Coureil:
if this act
is sign-
od
between
now
and1l July,
1923,
you
can
budget
the
amount
to be collected.

the Hon Cecil Campbell

Campbell
was
the weak
man
of
the

He
seemed

to
strike
his

stride
and
failed
to
co-
operate
with
the beautifui
net
work
dis-
piayed
by
Secroope.
The
Frenchman
took
the first
two seats
with little troubie
showing
great
accuracy
and
speed.
Brugton’s
service
was
fast
and puzzhing
and playcd
better

Lacoste.

Campbell

of Brugnon

the
Frenchman
the
opportuniiy
to
uwse
his
famous
