Mr. POINTERasked whether the attention of the Secretary for the Colonies has been drawn to the discussion in the Trinidad Legislative Council on the subject of granting municipal powers to Port-of-Spain, which took place on 25th June; whether, having directed the council to decide this question, he is now prepared to adopt its decision and direct that steps be taken forthwith to create an elective council in the manner it suggests?
