(Honourable E. A. C. Hughes arrives and apologizes for his lateness.) They did not like the Committee shall consist of the Chairman and not more than four other members nominated by the Governor, of which two shall -be nominated by the Kingstown Board." They said they did not wish to relinquish their hold on the land and the building because in the old Ordinance they had three members on the Library Committee. I only put in what the Board recommended but what strikes me is this; having now put the power of appointment in the Board, is it still necessary to give the Kingstown Board power to lease the building for other public functions. I see there is likely to be a contention between the Library Committee and the Board over this matter. The Board might want it rented out for a dance. Honourable Member for Kingstown : I agree with you. I think it should be as it was before. The Library Committee who have intimate knowledge of what is taking place there should be the person to say when it should be rented out. Honourable O. D. Brisbane: I do not think they should hold any dances there at all. Honourable Acting Crown Attorney : I think that the Library services may be so extended that the whole of the upper storey may be used for library purposes. Honourable W. A. Hadley: I think this should be vested in the Library Committee and not the Board. Honourable Member for Kingstown : The Committee should know for what purposes this building could be used without clashing with other purposes. Honourable E. A. C. Hughes : The Library Committee should have a say in it and the Kingstown Board should have a say; and I do not see why we cannot have dual control.. : ...:-.t.' Honourable Member for Kingstown : Suppose the Committee says the Library is going to be wanted today, and you cannot have it, and the Board says We must have it"? #. ; Honourable E. A. C. Hughes : Not dual control as such, but if the Board says "Let us have it", and the Committee says No ", you cannot. You are not going to find much conflict over whether people should be allowed to have a meeting there. This is the point which created all the friction at the last meeting; and as Mr. Bonadie is not here I am trying to put forward what he would put forward if he were here. Merely for the purpose of letting it to outsiders I suggest that there should be dual control, so that before any group of persons would be allowed to get that building both parties should be satisfied. Honourable O. D. Brisbane: Applications should be made to the Board as well as the Committee? Honourable E. A. C. Hughes : That is the only way I see out of it. They used to have a majority, they now have a minority representation, and representation is now not the same as it used to be. Honourable W. A. Hadley : I am of the opinion the Committee should decide. Honourable Member for Kingstown : I think the idea must be that they should get remuneration from the rent of that hall and it is not worth while to sacrifice the services of the library for that small amount.
