per of this Island was first started under the
.unmistakable name of '.Dansk Vestindisk Re-
Avis, about eighty years ago, its size
was the same as that to which we have now
been compelled to reduce it. But then it paid,
as it was constantly filled with Advertisements.
This furnishes a sad comment on the present
state of business in this Island in fact, the
condition of any newspaper may always be
looked upon as an index of the prosperity of a
place.
We only trust that our few supporters will
remember that it is the decadence of the pros
perity of this Island that has diminished the
of our paper and not cice rersa, and that
We are always ready to supply any demand
that may be made, provided we find the neces-
Sary support.

FRIDAY, 7rH AUGUST 1868.

The Public will, we suppose, have been
surprised at the appearance of cur
last number, it being only half the size in which
the "St Croix Avis" row for many years has
been published but dire necessity compels us
to do so. 1t can hardly be supposed that the
Public expect us to publish the Paper at a loss
and the habit, so largely spread among this
community, of individuals borrowing THEN
neighbours paper" instead of subscribing
themselves, has caused the number Of our sub
to he 50 few, that it cannot pay 10 pub
50 large a sheet as that on which the Paper
has hitherto appeared. OF advertisements
the usual mainstay of newspapers, we receive
alas but few. We exclaim ''alas % for this
lack of advertisements is to us a sad sign OF
that dullness in business of every kind that the
Island is suffering from. When the news-pa-

One Of the members Of the Committee
having observed, that the cell could not
be dispensed with, and the present dead
room having been used for a series of years,
without any complaint being made, the
Committee is of the opinion, that this work
ought not to be done.
4 & 5, these ratings were put up by the
then Caterer for ornament sake, being an
enclosure for flowers, but as they have
been washed away, the Committee thinks,
that the sums posted be struck out, and to

On inspecting these localities, the kitchen
was found much damaged by the earth
quake, and as the estimate for the repairs
of the School-building itselfis by no means
too high, the Committee begs leave to
propose, that $40 be granted for the re-
pairs of the kitchen, the whole amount to
be posted with So 90

wherefore the Committee would propose,
that the shingling be postponed until the

Rcmarks. The COMMITTEE begs leave to
recommend, that the following works be com
menced as soon as possible
|, the repairs of the ~cistern at the Quay, as il
will incur a loss to the treasury if postponed.
,, Mt. Victory and Frederiksted's SchooIhous-
es. The iron sheets to be used are in the
yard of the old courthouse, and exposed to
be damaged.
3, Frederiksted's hospital. The patients have
recently considered the hospital infected.
BY repairing such d building, that idea will
soon be done away with.
/, Finally the Committee would observe,
that the estimate furnished, otherwise a well
drawn mp one, larger or smaller amounts are
enumerated therein for minor repairs. The
Committee acknowledges the necessity of a
sum posted for minor repairs in the run Of
the year, but considers it more proper, that
it be posted in one collective amount.
