To the Editor of the "St. Croix Ayis.o
Dear Sir,

Dear Sir,
Rumours are aAoat-founded on better
grounds we suspect than rumours general
ly are in our community-to the effect
that in the proposals made by the Govern
ment for the employment of the Steamer
Thyra to run between this Island and st.
Thomas, her trips are to be made tUice a
weeh, and ARRAYS to and from Basin, vith
the exception Of one trip to TVcSt End crcrg
thrd week, should the Government 4 mand L.
This provision amounts sim,,y TO this
that we OF this end of the Island, although
contributing equally with the people of
the other end towards the subsidy of the
Steamer-that subsidy being betrayed from
the general taxation of the Island, the
greater part of Which is paid in The district
to the Westward Of Kings HilI,-are yet
to be deliberately excluded from any con
vepience or advantage that may arise out
OF direct steam communicates with cur
sister Island.
The gross injustice otsuch Encouragement
need not be pointed out, Surely, for IN
stance, it would be a very hard case taat
q taxpayer at West End must, if he would
avail himself of the Steamer to st. Thomas,
pay, in addition to his taxes, some 81 lor Il
conveyance to reach the vessel, and Il ho
would return bj her, 81 more to reach his
home again This is only one illustration
OF the gross injustice of the case; there are
others quite as glaring which will readily
suggest themselves to every unpreiudiced
mind, and with which we need not there
tore occupy your space.
Now of course it cannot reasonably be
expected ;llt the taxpayers at this end of
the Island will %taIneIy submit to such
treatment as this, and accordingly, unless
this obnoxious and injurious proposal be
withdrawn, steps will be Immediately
taken to send liz to the proper quarters, a
strong remonstrance, demanding either a
full participation IN the advantages of the
projected steam communication with St.
Thomas, by having every alternate trip to
and from West End-or the adoption of
the principle on which steamers are sub
sidized in Porto Rico AMI elsewhere, that
the towns at which the steamers particu-
larly touch shall alone pay subsidy by local
taxation or subscription.
We find it harder to bear this indiAer-
ence to our interests and rights when we
reflect that every private effort made of
late tor the advancement or improvement
of the condition of the Island, has emanated
from, and been carried out by, the enter
prise and capital OF West Enders. Witness
the introduction of the Steam-plough by
Messrs. Nc. William and FarreIly, and now
the building and running of the Steamer
Thyra, by our public spirited and highly
esteemed fellow townsman Major Moore.
