Honourable E. A. C. Hughes: You can't get away from the logic of the
argument that Section 9 says they have the responsibility incident on ownership
but none of the rights incident on ownership.
 Honourable Member for Kingstown : They never had?
 Honourable E. A. C. Hughes : They had a majority on the Board of Control;
when they had three members they were in control.
 President : Can you suggest how the dual control would work?
 Honourable E. A. C. Hughes :, Would it be alright to let application be made
to the Kingstown Board and they would have to get permission from the Library
Committee.
 Honourable Member for Kingstown: The Committee would be the
controlling body.
 Honourable E. A. C. Hughes : Both; for if either said 'no', it could not be
used.
 Honourable O. D. Brisbane : There would be great confusion and conflict.
 Honourable Member for Kingstown: We want to put that in some
responsible hand. I do not think the majority of the members of the Kingstown
Board are so keen on having this control. I do not like this dual control in the
interest of the library.
 Honourable Member for North Windward: The funds were placed in the
hands of Government or the hands of the Board?
 Honourable Acting Crown Attorney : The Board built the Library from the
 funds.
 Honourable E. A. C. Hughes : To whom would the rents go?
 Honourable Acting Crown Attorney : I do not know off-hand, but I believe.
 to the Committee.
 Honourable Member for Kingstown : That formed part of their revenue.
 What I am saying is that the Board is simply standing on their dignity for they
 get nothing out of it.
 Honourable Acting Crown Attorney: Suppose we make provision that the
 Kingstown Board may permit the said building and land to be used for any
 purpose which in the opinion of the Governor in Council is not inconsistent with
 the purposes of the library.
 Honourable Member for Kingstown : That would take too long.
 Honourable E. A. C. Hughes : It seems to me it,is the opinion of the majority
 that the Committee should control the building. I want to make it quite clear
 that I have no particular axe to grind. I have no particular desire..to see the
 Committee or the Board control it; I am just putting this forward because Mr.
 Bonadie is not here.
 Honourable Acting Crown Attorney : I do not know if it would be carrying
 out the conditions of the trust.
 President : Generally speaking there is no other place suitable for meetings,
 dances etc.
 Honourable Member for Kirigatown : That was applicable in the past.
