inz
this
amendment
the
Honorable
‘,
Member
has
made allowances
for
the
l
mattar
to
20 before
the court.
From
my
knowledge
of
the
¥o%d
Commission
{
|
can
say
Its
members
are
honest
men
i
they
are
not
going
to
put
the
prices
|
below
the value, they
are
men of integri-
ty,
and
even
if it should
be
a fact
that
the
Food Commissian
is
so corrupt
that
|
you
cannot
trust it, you nave
the
courts.
|
i
think the Food
Commission
is
entitled
to
t1: pawer
asked
for and
[ will
vote
for It.
Ist
Member for Frederiksted
OCountry
District
(Andersen)
remarked:
Mr.
Chairman.
The
Food
Commission
has
abused
its
power
in St.
Thomas
and it is
for
that
reason
we do
not
want
to
give
such
a
power
*o the Food
Commission
of
St
Uroix
2nd
Mem
er
tor
Christiansted
Town
(Canegata)
remarked:
Mr.
Chairman.
I want
to
say
that the Food
Commission
has
been
fair in doingits duty.
Whnen
the
Commission
was
approached
about
the
milk question
the
President
of the Dairy
was
a member
of that
Commission
and
if the President
was
able
to
give
suffi-
cient
reasons
to
justify
the
rise
in
the
price
0
milk s
ecase
would have
met
with the approval
of the
members
of the
Commission.
The
Commission
from
the |
start allowed
the
merchants
only fifteen
i
percent
profit
on
their
gross
costs
and |
everybody
is sarisfied.
The Dairy
is
al-
lowed
thirty
percent
and
yet
they
are |
not satisfied.
|
st
Member
for
Frederiksted
Town
|
(Coulter)
remarked:
Mr.
Chairman.
If
|
the Foad
Commission
in St.
Thomas
has
|
abused
its power
why
not
have
recourse
|
to the
courts.
|
3rd
Appointed
Member
(Armstrong)
|
remarked:
I don’t know that
the
Dairy
|
is
making
30 percent,
so.
much
so
that
|
there
are
no dividends
up to now.
A
4th Member
for Caristiansted
Country
(Ramsay)
remarked:
Mr.
Chairman.
|
If we take the last speaker’s
basis,
in
my
|
opinion,
the
Merclkants
are
maknig
two
|
percent.

Refering

““West

you
are
advised

that
the
Avis has
not
devised
any
*'pro-
|
ceeding’’
for calculating
the
worth
of
|
milk:
the
dairymen
claimed
when
the
|
price of the cattle
went up
to the
figures
|
published
in
the
Food
Commision’s
no-
|
tice
of 29th. ultimo, that milk automatical-
|
ly rose
in
value to 16 cents
a quart,
{)an-
.
ish money.
Shortiy atter,
the value of
i
Danish money
increased,
and this
paper
|
assumed
that such increase
offset the aug-
’
mentation
demanded
in
price
of
milk.
'
By the dairymen’s
“‘proceeding’’,
there-
|
fore,
the worth of milk will
be
arithme-
'
tically
three
and
three thirteenths
cents
'
per quart with
an exchange
of 5%.
