(t) Leper Asylum: No remarks. | () Dental Service: No remarks, | POOR DEPARTMENT: j Ist Memoer for Freaeriksted Town | (Jackson) remarked: Mr. Chairman. I | don’t want to delsy the meeting but | there is ene thing 1 would like to see | chanved and that is that the item for the | Poor Department be put under the Hos- pital instead of the Poor Department. | As most of these people have to be treat- | ed at the Hospital this Fres. 51,000 should be put under that Department, ‘ 2nd Member for Cacistiansted Town (Can gat) remarked: Mr. Chairman. | The Honorable M mber has missed the | porint. The reason whyv that was done 9 | becausz2 the Colonial Council has never | reerenized King’s Hiil nor sanctioned | this Establishment. 1f the Colonial Coun- cil recoznized it as a department the | Honorable Member would have seen amounts budgetted for salaries, main- | tenance and eqaip nont. Lhe Poor Farm | was establsh d withoat the %au hority | of the C lynial Council and therefore | the Council refused to recozniz: it | as a department., The Council bus | however agreed to give a grant in | aid, uatil the question has bzen finally | ssttled. The whole of King’s Hill Poor | Farm was supposed to be rur from the | Hucricane Fund, but they haveoniy bren | able to secure som @ eqiprent out of the | fund and the grant from the Courcil | sorves for the runain zof the institution, | 13t Memboer for Frederiksted Town | (Jackson): Mr. Chairman. 1 thank the | Honorable 20d Member for Christian- 5 sted Town for his explanation. 1 want i to know if in that Frs. 54,000 are inclul- | ed the salarics of the Inspector ard | othar employees of .the King’s Hiil Poor | Farm. , 4ith Member for Frederiksted Country District [Andersen): Mr. Chairman. Is | g% PO2 AV L 0 the institution a hospital for intirm people | and people transferred from the fusane Asylum? It 1s high time for it to be | taken up for reorgauization. | 2nd Member for Christiansted Country | District (Berg): Mr. Chairman. 1 see f on the Budget From the Municipzality | of St. Thomas and St. John toward sup- | port of King’s Hill Poor Farm Fres. 4.000. Is it based per capita? That ! seems a very small part of the expenses. | o9nd Member for Christiansted Town (Canegata): Mr. Chairman. The llon- | orable Member will understand that pa- tients from St. Thownas are naturally le- luctant to enter Kingshill Poor Farm as | they are separated from their friends and relatives even more than the pa- tients from St. Croix, and unless foreed by dire necessity the; do not want to go to the Poor Farm. ? No further remarks. Poor Depart- ment tacitly adopted " PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTIHMENT: | Ist Member for Frederiksied Couutry | Distriet (Fleming) h: nded in an amend- ! ment which is as fol ows: ?

The wharf in question has been temporarily repaired, but 1 don’t believe itis suffi- ciently secured. I therefore urge the passage of this amendment. ond Member for Christiansted Town (Canegata): Mr. Chairnan. May 1 ask how the amount of Fres. 3,000 kas been arrived at and who made the estimate” 1 ask these questions because I know what the Pubdic Works Officer esti nated the repairs at; I know the extent of the repairs needed; Isay this beeause the Municipal Committee itself has inspect- ed the wharf in question.
