MEYER, Chairman Road Commission. January 24th, 1924. £ PROCEEDINGS OF THE FOR ST. CROIX. (Continued from Saturday’s Avis.) 4th Member for Frederiksted Country Distriet (Andersen): Mr. Viee-Chair- min. | would like to know what the Honorable 2nd Member for Christiansted Country District is talking about. Is he crilielaing the plan or 1s he praising it ? o9nd Member for Caristiansted lown (Canegata): The .idea the Honorable vnd Member for Caristiansted Couatry [)istrict is trying to convey 13, that he was not in favour Oof placing the pl'non the table, 4.1 M:ombher for Frederikstel Country Di trict (Andersen): The plan can be iatd on the table and who wants to see it may do so. 2nd Member for Christiansted Town (Canegata) remarked: Mr. Vice Chair- man. Withregard to remarks made by tie Honerable 3rd Member for Frederikst<d Country Distriet that a portion of the $6,000 appropiated should g 0 toward butiding a cistern in Frederiksted rather than buying additional land,I wish (o say that this 1s only an experiment in providing an adequate water supply. It is no use starting a project and not put- ting it through. After this system is perfected and hive proven to be a sue- cess | would be perfeetly wiliing to vote for one for Fredeciksted. Ist Membor for Frederiksted Country Distriet tFleminy): Mr Vice-Chairman. I would like to know whether the $3,000 ap rropriated is for butlding a cistern for Christiansted alone or whether it is for SCHOOI.

If it is betiter land the man mak- ing the exchange is getting a fifty per- cent gain. 1 would suggest iLat tle Municipal Committee be instructed to negotiaie for the balance of the land before the cisiern 1s built as we may come up agairst a pret'y big expen.e after it is built. [ hope the Honorabic Government will also make provision for Frederiksted after this cistern is com- pleted.
