After cousideration

4:h
Membe: for Frederiksted
Country
Distriet
(Andersen)
remarked:
Mr. Vice-
Cnai ‘man.
No
remark
is
necessary
on
first discussion
as
this matter
has already
been
tully discussed
at
a
previous
meet-
ind.
15t

remarked:
Mr. Viee-Chairman.
The
listrict
Court
has
already
taken
some
of
these
estates
under
summary
proceedings
and it
is
fair
that
we
vote
the
measure.
I#t Appointed

re-
~kxad:
Mr
Viee-Chairman.
As Sher-
iff
o1
the
District
Court
I have
in my
No. 209:
man.
The
Honorable
Ist
Member
for
Frederiksted
Town
is
mistaken.
The
amendment
reads
‘"The Chairman
of
the
Road
Commission
shall
not exceed
Frs.
7.500.””
1
can
put
down
not
to
exceed
$5,000,
but that
does not
mean
that
he
shall receive
that amount.
Ist
Member
for
Frederiksted
Town
(Jackson):
1 will not
vote for the amend-
ment.
Ist
Appointed
Member
(Coulter)
re-
marked:
Mr.
Vice Chairman,
As
the
salary
stands
if
the
Council
decides
to
make
a reduction
of
1097
next
vear
it
would
be
verv unfair
to
the
Chairman
of
the Road
Conniission.
2rd
Member
for
Chiistiansted
Town
(Canegata
remarked:
Mr.
Viee-Chair-
man
Suppose
next
vear
the
Colonial
Council
and
the
Municipal
Committee
find that the
revenues
increase
and
want
to make
a further
reduction
of
109 that
would
place
the
Chaiiman
of the
Road
Commission
in an
unfaverable
position.
4th
Member
for Frederiketed
Count'y
Distriet
[Andersen]
remarked:
Mr.
Vice-Chairman.
I
sece
no
reason
for
raicing
the salary of the
Chairman
of the
Road
Commission
from what it is
in the
old
law.
What
has
increased
the
work
so
enormously
so
as
to
warrant
this
inecreas2?
1
have
heard
no
ar-
gument
justifying
the
increase.
They
have
thoucht
of
tne
Chairman
of
the
Road
Commission,
but
have
not
thougzht
of
the
Road
Inspectors.
[
am
certainly
no
in favor
ofi iucreasing
the
salary of the Chai:man
of the Road
Com-
ihissior
and
leaving
the
salaries
of
the
lioad Inspectors
as they are,
21.d. Member

remarked:
Mr.
Vice-Chiir-
man.
1
am
sorry
I have
not
got
the
original
ordinance
with
me,
however|
will try
to
ex:lain,
There
are
eight
quarters
on the island
and the officers
in
each
quarter received
§3.00
per
quarter,
but
later the work of
thoese
officers
was
transferred
to the Chairman
of
the Road
Commission
and consequentiy
his
salary
was increased
to,
4th.
Member for Frederiksted
Country
District (Andersen)
remarked:
Mr. Vice-
Chairmean.
That
does
not
justify
the
matter.
The
eight
officers
did
not
do
much
work.
Ido not
see
the
enormous
work the Chairman
of the Road
Commis-
sion
has
to do which justifies the
paying
of such
a high salary.
Ido not
mean
to
be personal.
