PROCLEDINGS
OF
THE-
RY
g¥
COLONIAL COUNCIL
FOR
ST.
CROIX.
(Concluded from yesterday’s
Avis.)
2nd
Member
for
Christiansted
Town
(Canegata)
remarked
:
Mr. Chairman.
I
have
been
fortunate
enough
to
have
been
a
Member
of
the
Board
of Man-
agement
for
the
Leper
Asylum
under
both administrations
and
I have
had
the
honor
to
have
been
both
Chairman
of
that
Board
and Thysician
of
the
insti-
tution, and
I
can
say
too
that this
Mu-
nicipality and Council
have
always been
very
generous
and
liberal
to
this
insti-
tution,
and
I would
be
the
first
one
who
would
be
willing and
anxious
to
vote
anything
that
would
add
to
the
comfort
and
happiness
of
those
poor
unfortunate
people,
but
while
I
agree
with the object I
do
mot
agree
with the
procedure.
This
community
has
been
misrepresented
enough
already
and
I

don’t think w 2 should
vote
for any
one
to 2o and ask for f inds
for
this Munici-
pality.
I for
one
will. not
vote for this
Resolution.

Despatchiny
Secret:&w

ve-
marked:
Mr.
Cheenan.
When
this
question
first arcse
it
was
for.wvarded
to
the
Municipal
Committes,
because
the
first request
wanted
not only Government
aid,
but
als»
Municiptl
aid;
it
was
brought
out
by
the Committee
that
no
funds
were
available.
1t
is not costing
the
Municipality anv:hing
to place
the
pavilion tbere;
we
it
2 tha offer of some
one
to
go
oual
ar
.t
funds
lor
she
building of it.
It sh.il be erected
under
the suparvision
of the
Public Works
Of-
ficer, and
there
is
a
time
limit for the
erecting
of
the
buildinz.
I don’t
s=e
where
the
Municipality
will
be
hurt if
funds
are
sclicited
for
the
buiiding of
the pavilion.
2nd
Membor
for
Christiansted
Town
(Canegata)
remarked:
Mr.
Caairman.
1¥
any
one
wishes
to
contributr
some
money
for the building of
a
pavilion
at
the Leper Asylum
let
it
be
given in the
form of a gifi.
1t seems
queer that
this
Municipality can
vote
ten
thousand
dol-
lars
to buay
a road roller,
scarifisr
and
a
stong erusher
and then
in the
next
min-
ute votinnz
io send
son 2 one
(o
beg
for
funds
abrovi
to>
build
a
paviidon
for
a
vory small
pereznt
of
antfoctunate
ones
in the populativo.

1
do
aot
agree
with
the
Honorable
2nd Member
for Christiansted
Town
on this
question.
1 do not understand
that
this
Couancii
is
asked permission
to
send
some
one
out
to beg money
; I understand
the
Council
is asked permission
to build
the
pavilion
on
Municipal
land.
The Asylum
is
a
charitable
institution
and the
poor paoplo
there
cannat
get away
from there
on
ae-
count of the public
safety.
I[f the
out-
side
world offers
mon=y
to help give them
comfort,
all we have to dois
to grast
the
permission.
1 certainly
recom'nend
to
the
Council
to grani
the permission
(o
give
these
poor
unfortunate
people
alil
the comfort possible.
‘We are
not
asked
to
spend
one
cent,
and
therefore
we
ought to be able
to do that much.
Ist Member for
Frederiksted
Country
District (Andersen)
remarked
:
Mr. Chaiv-
man.
As
I
understand
the question
iz
not
one
of
fact,
it
is
one affeciing the
pride of the
Municipaiity.
1
feel
quite
certain,
after
hearing
the
2nd
Member
for Christiansted
Town, that
this
Coun-
cil
would
gladly
vote
the
necessary
amount
for the building
of
the
pavilion
at the Asylum.
These people
are in ve'y
unfortunate position and
we have always
manifested
willingness to help
as
much
as
possible.
[o
grant
the
permission
asked for, it would appear
as if
we
can-
not do such
a small thing ourselves;
with
that in view, I feel that
I
must
lock
at
the matter
in the
sam=
manner
as
2nd
Member
for Christiansted
Town, that
we
should
provide
for
it
curselves.
ithe
monay
with
which
the
institution
was built
was given
as
a gift by
the
Odd
Fellows Lodge in Denmark,
anl
if such
7 plan
as building
a
pavilion
th
re
was
i»lt
before
the
Lodge
they
certainly
would
give
a
belp.
Itherefore
move
that the matter
be left
open
to
eonsider
whether it is necessary
to aceept
or
not.
Despatehing
Secretary
(Rappolee)
re-
marked: Mr.
Chairman.
We
have
in
the United States
libraries ziven to cities
b7
men
of wealth;
we
have
monuments
~r2zted
by subseription
and
no city
feels
burt
in its pride in aecepting these
things,
We have
an
unfortunate
class
of
people
at the Leper Asyvium,
many of the things
that
go
to
make
up
the jov of life are
cut off from them.
They enjoy the
sun-
shine
and things
we find pleasure
in, but
they are confined.
There
are peoplz
who
wish
to place
in their lives
some
of
the
pleasures
now desied
them.
These
peo-
ple eannot
go and ask
for
money
before
knowing
the
moncy
can
he spent
for
the
purpote
for
which
it
was
usked.
This
seems
to
me
a
very
sniall
matter.
It
1s
not classing
this island
as
poor.
Ist Member for
Frederiksted
Country
District (Andersen)
said,~—Mr.
Chairman
May I
ask
that
an
attempt
be made
in
this island
to raise
the
necessary
funds
by
puablic subseription.
Give
us
an
op-
portunity
to contribute
to a thing of
this
kind.
2od
Ma2mber
for
Christiansted
Town
(Cancgata)
remarked:
Mr.
Chsairman.
I would like to know
why it is
necessary
to
give
the
sanction
of
the
Colonial
Uouncil
before
the
money
is fortheom-
ing?
1f the
money
was
given
as
a deed
of gift for
a
special
object
the
Munici-
pality woula
be bound
to respeet
it
The
Odd Fellows offered
theirs
as
a gift ammi
it was accepted.
Government
Secretary
(Gaffrney)
re-
marked:
Mr. Chairman.
Just
to go fur-
ther— The gift
was
given
to
the Muni-
cipality,
but
the
control
of it
was
not
vested
in
the
Municipality.
The
Board
of Management
was given control.
This
is
not
a
deed
of gift.
The Council
is
not
asked
today
in
any
way
to place
something
upon
Municipal
land
which
would be controlled
by authority
outside
of the Government
of the Virgin Islands.
All that
1s
pecessary
is
to add
a
para-
graph that
an attempt
be
made
to raise
the
money
by
subseription
in
St.
Croiz
to build
the
pavilion, if that
fails
then
the
balance
follows.
The
peopic
feel
that they are contributsng
for
a
purpose
and
want
to know
that the
money
would
be
used
for
that
purpose;
they
are
not
putting any string to
it.
The
property,
after it is
built,
will
be
turned
over to
the
Municipaligy.
All objections
could
be put in chis resolution,
and
the people
can
contribute
first
or
in addition
to
whatever
amount
collected.
Government
would be satisfied with
a
new paragraph
to that effect.

be continued.)
