[ interd to uive the matter a vory careful study and if we close 2nd, dis:us sion only Go.ernment can bring in amz2nlment. Covernment Secietary [ Z ] remark- ed. Mr. Vice-Cha'rman. T'he only point that I can see that will require immediate expeCition is the s.lary ol the Chairman of th: Road Com nissicn. Apart from tha: ( overnment nas no objeciion in iet- tine tie ordinance o over until the next me *tilg. 9.d Member for Christiansted Town [Cunegata]: In view of the remarks ma le oy the Government Secretary and the Lespatching teereiary 1 move that 2ad discussion com: on today. Goverament Seeretary [Zane[ remarked: Mr. Vice-Chairman I was going on the gassumption that (his ordinance would eveniually becone law, but if [ am wrong in that assumption I reiterate that the Despa.chinz Secre ary would not be within his right to pay more money than that provided by law. I auree with the Honorable 21d Member for Christiansted Town that it is necz2ssary to expedite the matter today. 4th Member for Frederiksted Country District [And2rsen] remarked: Mr. Vice- Chairman. It i 3 expected that an extra ordinary meeting of the Council will be caled in the vary near furure, so I see » harm in letting 2nd discussion remain open. “ 20d Member for Christiansted T)wn [Canegata| proposed that Sections 8, 1] and 12 as amended b 2 adopred. Ist Memboar for.: F.ederiksted Towr [Jackson] remarked: Me. Vice-Chair- man, I would second the Honorable Member’s proposal it he would produce autnority for closing o.e discuss.on on one section a d keeping the sthers open. 2nd. Member for Caristiansted Town [Canegata] remarked: Mr. . Vice-Cuair- mwan ]am thoroughly within my light, and : ny member of .the Colonial Council has the rignt to ask thuat «:n amendme: t be turthered. The member ¢ nnot stop me. It takes the vote of the Council on- ly to do that, Ist Member for Frederiksted Town (Jackson) remarked: Mr. Viee-Chairman, I don’t think it is in keeping with the rules ¢f business. When a discussion i closed it is closed as to the who'e draft. 2nd Member for Christiansted Town (Canegata) Mr. Viee-Chairman. Tho Honorable Member forgets ithat tne draf: 1s already passed and this is only an amendment to it Ist Member for Irederiksted Toan (Jaclkson) remarked: Mr. Vice-Chairman That’s quite right, but i seems that the question ralsed 1s as if the draft had been introduced anew. The Honoravie 4th Member ftor Frederiksted Couniry District (Andersen) has brought n amendment to another sectiog of the draft. Toat opens discussion on ihe main draft, It the Honorable Membeor can show me authority I wouid b wiil- ing to vote. 2nd Member for Christiansted Town (Canegata) Mr. Vice Chairman ; If that is the case I object to the amendment of ti-e Honorable 4:h Member for Freder iksted Chuntry Distriet coming up today. The (Viee-Chairoian). Is the Honor- able 4th Moamhor for Fredoriksted Coun- try Oistriet williny to withdraw . .his amer dment, : o : Ath Membor for Prederiksted Cuntry District: 1 will not, bat I ecan leave the mectin- and then voua will nut have a quoram, but I do not care to play politics of sueh a mean kind. Ist. Member for Frederiksted Town [ Jackson] -remarked: Mr. Viee-Chair- man. ‘Whan the Honorabla 2nd Member for Christiansted Town asked to clnse diseussion on one paragraph of the Or- dinance and let the others remain open on 2nd. discussion I don’t think that’s in ordor. . 4th Member for Frederiksted Country Distriect (And2rsen) remarked: Mr. Vice-Chairman, IV}hore iS no money to pay the Chairman of the Road Commis- sion they can loan the amount. Bor- rov it from me. 2nd Memher for Frederiksted Town (Canegata). Ny Vieca-Chairman. Wou'd it make any diff ‘rence if the Honorable 4th Menber Jor Frederiksted Country Distriet withdraw his amapdment and introduce it at the noxt meeting? The Viee Chairmtn remarked: Any one familiar with the situation can agree with the amendment, If the Honorable Government Secretary knew our eondi- tions better he might be also willing to agrea to the amendment. Ist Member for Frederiksted Town (Jackson) remarked: Mr. Vice-Chairman. If 2nd discussion is closed today that wouldn’t give the Deshatching Secretary authority to give a cheek to the Chair- wan of the Road Commission for more money than the law allows. Goverrmeht Seevetarv (Zan ) remark- ed: Mr, Vice-Chsirman. [ do not wish the Honorable 4th Member for Frecerik- sted Country District to think that [in any way suspect the amerdment brought in by him. 1 did consider that the Gov- ernment should have a chance to deter- mine for it<elf the meaning of the amend- mendmen*. | now realize that thn re- mark | made was nnnecesssrv. If the Honorable 4th Member for Frederiksted Country Distriet considers that[ said anything I should not have said I wish to apologise, 4th Member for Frederiksted Country Distriet (Andersen) remarked: Mr. Vice-Chairman. The Government Secre- tary plays very [airly. There is no harm in letting tha matter go over until the next meeting. 1 feel certain that an extraordinary meeting will be called. The Vice-Chairman remarked: The bill goes over to the next meeting on 2nd discussion. There beinz no further business pe- fore the House the Viee-Chairman e- clared the meeting clcsed at 6 30 p. m.
