OF
THE
FOR

CROIX.
(Continued from yesterday’s
Avis.)
4th Appointed Member (Blackwood)
re-
marked:
Mr. Chairman.
It has
always
heen
my opinion that
a
member
appoint-
ed
by the Council to sit
on
a
committee
.should
be
paid
travelling
expenses.
I
propose
that members
receive
compensa-
tion
for attending
committee
meetings
when
appointed
by
the
Council.
I
do
vot think this unreasonsble
by
no
means.
Ist Member
for
lrederiksted
Country
District
(Andersen)
remarked:
Mr.
Chairman.
I consider
the proposal
made
by
4th Appointed
Member
(Rlackwood)
fair.
May
I propose
to
improve
upon
his
amendment
that
members
be
al-
lowed
double
expenses
for
attending
extraordinaryv
meetings.
The
Member
left the meeting.
3rd
Member
for
Christiansted
Town
(Alexander)
would
like
to
know-
the
amount
paid to Members
of the
&olonial
Council
and
he
Munic.pal
Committee
when travelling to attend
meetings?
The Chairman
answered:
Six
dollars
to Members
of the Colomial
Council
and
eight dollars to
Members
of the
Munici-
pal Committee.
Ist
Appointed
Member
(Henderson)
withdrew
his
rvesolution
and
subsiituted
another,
The Chairman
remarked:
Beforel read
the Resolution
submitted
by the Honorable
MemberI will put
to the vote the proposal
made
by 4th Appointed Member
(Black-
wood)
that members
travellinz to
meet-
ings
on
committees
appointed
by
the
Council
be
paid
iraveliine
expenses.
=
wish
to
draw
attention
however,
&€t
there
is
no
money
appropriated
for
that
purpose,
therefore
I think it
best
to wait
until the
next budget.
2nd
Member
f{or
Christiansted
Town
(Canegata)
remarked:
Mr.
Chairman.
As
Chairman
of the
Municipal
Commit-
tee I wish
to state
that
when
the budget
was
being
discussed
in
the
Municipal
Committee
we adopted
the principle that
there should
not
be
any
increase
in sala-
ries
above that of last
year;
the
Councii
having adopted
such®a
motion
should
not
be
the first o
increase
its
department.
I think ita very
bad
precedent.
I will
vote against
the amendment.
4th
Appointed
Member
(Blackwood)
remarked:
[
fully
agree
with
the
Honorable last
Speaker.
1
do not
wish
to
establish
any
precedent,
but
I
thought
as
members
are
travelling
to
meetings
of
committees
appointed
by
the
Council they
should
be
paid.
I
am
willing to withdraw
my
motion and wait
until
the
next budget
as
suggested
by
the Chairman.
