GENERAL PROVISIONS

Salaries herein authorized can not be exceeded; lesser amounts may be paid in the discretion of the governor, subject to the approval of the municipal committee, except when a specific salary is fixed by law.

The governor may, in his discretion, subject to the approval of the municipal committee, transfer between the items of the budget amounts as public exigency might require.

Thus passed by the colonial council for St. Thomas and St. John, at the ordinary meeting, held the 27th of June, 1932.

J. E. KUNTZ, Chairman.
BENITO SMITH, Secretary.

The above budget is hereby sanctioned and approved with the following exceptions:

(1). The designation on page 5 "St. Thomas and St. John poor commission maintenance" is disapproved for the reason that it is in conflict with law. The ordinance concerning the executive and administrative functions of the various boards, commissions, and committees of St. Thomas and St. John, approved September 6, 1923, provides:

"That there shall be appointed 4 citizens for St. Thomas, 2 by the governor, and 2 by the colonial council, whose duties shall be to advise the department of public welfare in the assistance of the poor, in allotting pensions from the money budgetted in aid of the poor, and in distributing such money.'

The law is clear. It is the duty of the citizens appointed by virtue thereof to assist and advise the department of public welfare in the distribution of budgetted funds in aid of the poor.

(2). The designation on page 5, "Public library commission" the word "commission" is hereby disapproved for the reason that the supervising librarian is in

charge of the administrative and executive work in connection with the library and is a member of the library commission and will be guided by this board of control in matters pertaining to the operation of the library.

Witness my hand and the seal of the government of the Virgin Islands of the United States, at St. Thomas, this 2d day of July, A. D. 1932. [SEAL.]
