Colonial Counecit Biil No. 41. | Continuation of Ist Discussion 03 | Resolution introduced by Govern- | ment authorizing the establishment and management of s training school on Protestant Cay for incorrigible girls. Despatching Secretary (Commander Colby) remarked: Mr. (‘hairman. [ have received the following communication from the Governor whichI will read o the Council: 15 July, I¢2o From : (zovernor To% ¢ Despatching Secretary. Subject : Bill No. 41, Colonial Coun- ; eil for the Municipality of St. Croix. - 1. The Government desires to with- draw Bill No. <l, Colonial Council for the Municipalit of St. Croix' for the following reasons: From the reports of the last meeting, the Governor 1s led to believe that cer- tain members of this Council, and, possi- ble, the ccnstituency which they repre sent, are loathe to place tull iaith and confidence in the motives of the Govern- met in presenting this measure, and, apparently, are inclined to believe che Resolution was offered with ulterior motives. It can be seen from reading the reports, that by inuendo, the Govern- ment is accused of attempting to delay, hinder and retard the laudghle ambition of the people of Christiansted to com- mercialize their harbor by eliminating an objectionable reef. Apparently, some believe thata fraining schicol, such as proposed, woul(f not be a training school, but an institution tending to demoralize, rather than moralize the inmates. It 1s also noted that the present (Government is accused of having no intent to fulfiil the promises whieh appear in the Reso- lution, or which might have appeared by specific amendment, but that the feeling seemed rather to be among certain mem- bers that this administration could not be trusted any turther than past administr :- tion. The accusations which appear in the report are not true, but the Government feels that, rather than be mistrusied in the slightest degree, it will prefer to establish this institution within the Muni- cipality of St. Thomas and St. John, although such action wouid mean cousid- erable delay and, consequently, a large number of girls who need immediate reformatory attention will be deprived of such benefit. J. W. OMAN, Governor. 2nd Member for Christiansted Town (Canegata) remurked: Mr Vice-Chair man. On behalf of the people and my constituency I beg te thank His Excel- lency for the action he has taken today. I think 1t my duty to my constituency to make the remarks that I made in the last raeeting oi the Council. With referente to what has been said about disloyalty ard lack of confidence, 1 can oniy say that since mv tenure of office T de not know of any daisloyal per.
