Introduction of and Ist Discussion on Colonial Council Bill No. 45, Reso- lution, introduced by Government transferring furniture and equip- ment to the Post Office Department. The bill reads as follows. Colontal Council Bill No. 45. 2nd Council, 2nd Session 1920 -1921. DRAFT OF RESOLUTION. Be it resolved by the Colonial Council for St. Crowx in session as- sembled: 1. The Governor is hereby author- ized to t‘r-anst.er. by gift, all of the furniture, equipment, etc. owned by this Municipality, now in use by the Post Offices at Christiansted and Frederiksted, to the Proper Postal authorities . _ FRED. COLBY, Despatching Secretary. By darection of the Governor. Despatching Secretary (Commander Colby) remarked: Mr. Vice-Chairman. Colonial Council BillNo. 45 refeis to the transferring of furniture and equipment from the ownership of the Municipality to the Post Office Department. 4th Appointed Member (Blackwood) re- marked: Mr. Vice -Chairman. This Reso- lution '7as before the Municipal Commit- tee and it was favorably recommended to the Council. I have here inventories of the furniture and equipment in the Post Offices of Christiansted and Fred- eriksted; if it is desirable they could be read, if not, they could be passed around to Members. (The inventory was hand- ed to the Vice-Chairman to be passed around to members). The “urniture and equipment in the Pnst.()f’?ces are not of any use to the Muniecipality and there- fore I see no reason why they should not be transferred. - 2nd Appointed Member (Noll) entered the meeting. it was then put to vote and unanimous- ly agreed upon that the Resolution be furthered and passed at one discussion. The Viece-Chairman remarked: During the discussion in the Municipal Commit- tee it was thought that the furniture and fixtures were of very little value to the Mu- nicipality. The Christiansted inventory is very lengthy, but there is no item of any value on it, it amounts to about $60.00, and on the Frederiksted inventory there are about 12 items, the value of .which will not exceed $50.00. The inventories were passed around to Members by the Acting Secretary. No one reguesting the word further. the Discussion closed and the Acting Secretary read the Resolution a-d the Vice-Chairman put same to the vote [t was unanimously adopted. The Vice-Chairman remarked: The Resolution is adopted and goes to Gov- ernment. [tem 3. Colonial Council Bill No. 46. Introduction of and Ist Discussion on Colonial Council Bill No. 46, Draft of an Ordinance introduced by Gov- ernment providing a Code of Sani- tary Laws for St. Croix. Uespaiching Secretary (Commander Colby) rema.ked: Mr. Viee-Chairman. The Government does nnat believe any re- mark on the Sanitary Regulations is ne- cessary. "The Vice-Chairman remarked: Ist Dis- cussion on the bill is‘open. 2nd Appointed Member (Nsll) remark- ed: Mr. Vice-Chairman. These Sanitary Regulations have been_before a commit- tee of nine memhers of this Counecii in the latter part of last year; and at that time, I can state as Chairman of that Commit- tee, that there was considerable differ- ence of opinion concerning the advisibili- ty of certain features of the bill. 1 can state aiso that this Draft of Ordinance will require considerable consideration before final action is taken upon it, there- fore I move that a committee be appoint- ed by the Council to receive and consider the Draft of Ordinance which is now be- fore us; as to the size of the Committe I have no suggestion tn offer. Ist Member for Frederiksted Country District (Andersen) remarked: Mr. Chair- man. [ happened to be a member of the Committee on the Sanitary Regulations. I have carefully read the one before us today and I find it is nearly the same as the former. Ithink it will be impossi- bie to have the code considered favorably as it stands before us, therefore I re- commend that it be changed before it is brought before the Council; and since it will go through many meetings before it is passsed, [ suggest that the code be reconsidered before the com- mittee is appointed.
