We agree with our correspondent whose
letter we print above, that the roads
and streets are in want Of repairs.
The regret at the thought of the excel
lent roads in former days, now a myth,
we share, and, like our correspondent,
we look hopefully towards the approach
ing repairs on the roads. With regard to
our town the streets are really in some
places somewhat ont of repair, but in
those places where repairs are wanting
we feel sure that the Policemaster will
satisfy our correspondent, for the keeping
of the streets in clean and proper order is
certainly a purpose for which the gang
of prisoners has always principally been
employed. Our correspondent however
gives his complaint quite a wrong address,
for the streets do not come under the
Presidency but under the Police, and the
same is the case with the gang, which IS
under control and command of the Police
master, and itcan also be seen that a part OF
the gangis atpresent employedint the streets
if more are necessary let more be employ

SIR
In former days st. Croix was we'll
known for it's good roads and the perfect
condition in which they were kept but for
y long time past this has been rather q
myth. as the condition of the streets and
roads of the Island at the present time is
anything but good however a new Chief
Inspector has been appointed, and we must
hope that the Forthcoming annua repair
of the roads will be executed i'll q ,botter
manner than has been the case of late
years.
The streets Of this town are in no better
condition than the country roads, and the
cutters crossing the streets are III a dread
FIJI state and urgently need repair, but
there seems to be no hope OF this being
done al present. lin the whole town there
is only one street which is kept IN any
thing like order and has q proper gutter,
viz. Kings Street, all the other streets and
cutters require a thorough repair.
This work, as is well known, was Tor
mcrly lone 10y the prisoners; the reason
nothing is done now is not because there
are no prisoners, on the contrary the gang
is unusually large, but they are occupied
by other work.
g. ACJliI2 / ItSlhCiU LOO 1917
that some land to the East Of the town,
hitherto partly waste and partly occupied
by squattcrs belongs to the public,
and with his well known interest for gar
dening and planting is desirous Of cult
waiting the land, and the gang has for some
months been engaged horo, clearing bush,
making walks, planting guinea grass, co
coanut and diyi-divi trees &c &c; no
doubt, when finished, this will be very
pretty, and is to be commended if no other
useful work could he found, but when the
streets are in the condition they now are
the gang should first repair them.
| beg Mr.. Editor you will give space for
the above in your valuable paper to draw
the attention of the public to his matter,
and if this should be the means OF bringing
on spcedier repair of the streets, it Will

The time for the ordinary General
Meeting Of the Factory Company in
November is drawing near, and it
is with no little interest that members Of
this community are looking forward to the
same with regard to statement of business
done in the past campaign, Ehich has by
far surpassed the campaign Of 1881, the
first one which showed a surplus over and
above the expenses. 1t will be remember
ed that in the last campaign 26, 1862 bags of
sugar and 1,096 casks of mOlaSSeS gave u
gross profit of ! $4,000 crowns and after
deduction of working expenses a surplus
of 1866. 1913 crowns, working expenses hay-
ing thus been 1,085,S77 crowns. Now
this years campaign has given 44,2I7
bags 0 fSugar, besides molasSeS, which have
been manufactured in a time very little
longer than what was used in 1881 for
26,962 bags of sugar. The expenses for
this year Of Goals, labor, etc. can therefore
not much have exceeded those of last year,
and the result of this campaign is thus
naturally looked forward to with some
expectation. 1t Will perhaps be remem-
bered how out OF last years surplus OF
166, 1913 crowns an amount Of14,2OI crowns
was to be carried over to new account,
5 O Q ON the stock capital calculated at
about y, 900 crowns were laid to wear and
tear fund, and the rest went to pay %'inter-
est" and Z" the like. That by "interesto
was not meant any portion of the interest
to the State Treasury, for which the Colo
NAL Treasury is guarantee, has become
clear since, as no mention of such pay
ment was made to our Colonial Coun-
Gil when the budget was produced for
18S2-S3, in which the guarantee is calcu-
lated for one year at $45,459. AS the money
spent on "intereSt' and the like" thus
neither went to pay working expenses nor
Undergraduates The State Treasury nor
stockholders, it must have been spent in
settling old accounts hitherto left unpaid
for want of cash. Now in this year, when
a much higher surplus must appear, we
wish to call to the notice and attention Of
the Public and the Factory Company that
there are a number Of old accounts from
the very first year of the ~Company'S work
ing still left unpaid, and even accounts for

eel. H0WeVer we do not see any very great
harm III having let the streets wait a little
on account OF the work outside the tow to
which our correspondent refers, for this
work is not only cmbellisling the envirOns

tunlty has been embraced to nave it lone
when the proper season was at hand toge-
ther with a large number of prisoners
on labOur.
South of our town there are about 100
acres OF land belonging to the Colonial
Treasury, formerly in cultivation mostly
with guinea grass, but in latter years lying
almost entirely u~ncultiyated, only a few
small patches having been appropriated by
squattCIS who never paid anything for
the use Of the land. There is ample room
for those who want to cultivate the land,
but it would Of course be quite unreasOn-
able that the public who owns the land,
should beObliged to keep it there as it is,
at the convenience of the SquatterS, andthat
these should not pay rent. or the 100 acres
about 90 lie toward the Hospital at Peters
Farm, while about 40 acres lie east of
Recovery Hill at the end Of Hospital
street. This land is also called +" Diet
gamle old Hospitals GruGde" by which
name it would seem that the Hospital has
III old days been to the east oil the OWn
and has there had this land allotted to 1t.
On these 40 acres situate mostly up tho
hills but partly towards the shore at
GalloWSbay the work OF cultivation
has been begun. The land on the hills
has been cleared, guinea grass has been
soWn, and thibet trees among the grass
planted on the whole area except a patch
where 500 Divi-Diyi trees have been plant
ed as an experiment. The boundaries are
protected by penguin, insideofWhich is to be
a row Of cocoanut trees. The land at tho
bay is intended for bananas and |cocoanut
trees. The guinea grass grows excellent
ly on the old Hospital grounds and will
yield a good income to the Treasury.
The ground thus cultivated is interSected
with walks, furnished with benches for tho
benefit orthe Public. Also ONE ornamental
trees have been placed here and there iii
this plantation. Ofthe land towards Peters
Farmia smaller part is allotted to the Mama
ger OF the hospital while the greater part
is intended to be taken into cultivation for
the Public, perhaps to be planted with
DiyiDiyi, il cultivation OF this plant pro
misses success.
1t is of no little Importance that the title
Of the Treasury has been re.cstuhliShcd to
about l00,acrpS,of land, and that this land
is brought under order and control.

Now and then we hear fellow say,
"Oh, well, il you hadn't nominated
Manning, Chalmers would not have been
elected. Munning is unpopular with the
people" Nothing is farther from the
truth. If Chalmers is ele cted (nnd we
don't believe he il by any inir and rea.
sonable coustruction) it is only because
Democrats-white men, were over con
fflenr. While Col. Manning was not
popular with Il few disappointed fellows
who would like to have his seat, or his
influence, the great body of the people
are for him and it cant be disguised, and
the thrusts that are being made ut him,
especially from Oxford, are unmanly us
well as unfounded
1t is SAID that there was small vote
polled VIII CHI is another evidence Of Man
ning's uupopularity. If this be good
logic, We can prove that every candidate
in the State, on both sides, IS very un-
popular, because the vote was very
small everywhere. The people hid work
to do and the weather was propitious
aud manga one, thinking his neghhor
would take care Of the country and that
there was no danger any way, stayed at
home. If Chalmers should he admitted
to seat in the next Congress (and we
hope he will not unless he can read his
title clear) we nominate Manning to
succeed him in the 49th Congress. That
election will occur Mt the same time of
the Presidential, and the people will
vote, and Manning is still the "boy"

We seldom ever see anything in
your paper about our College, and
have concluded to spend a few leisure
moments in telling you what they we
are doing up here. The College is,
as you know, in its infancy; but it is
building up very fast, In the spring
of 1879 where the buildings now
stand were old fields, but since the
houses have been built one would
think it was little town. Besides
dormitory, chapel, laboratory and
mess hall there are nine houses for
the professors There are about 800
students here now, Some get home.
sick and leave. but others come in
very soon. The College owns about
1000 acres of ground,o of which aboui
600 is in cultivation. Students do
most of the work. Prof. L A Gully
has charge of the agricultural dee
partment. He knows exactly how
to raise grain and stock. He sent
several head of stock TO the Meridian
Fair. and each one was awarded the
blue ribbon.
The College was represented at
the Aberdeen Fair by one of our mil
itary companies, VIII ch expected to
take part in the competitive drill that
took place on the 2nd Owing to
some misunderstanding between the
West Point Rifles and the Fair As
sociation our company was not al
lowed to drill for the prize. We
drilled to show the people what we
would have done had we been allow
ed to compete for the $3.50, and were
awarded the blue ribbon for being
the best drilled Aberdeen can well
boast of having the most hospilable
citizens of any town, but l expect You
already know that. While there we
had the pleasure of spending the
night of the End with Mr.. j NJ. Bras
field. We will never forget Mr.. and
Mrs. BrasfeId, and also their charm
ing daughter, for their kindness to
us. The night of the Bird we spent
with Captain Tom Sykes, and we are
indebted to him, his most esiimnble
wife and beautiful aud intelligent
daughters for about twenty four
hours of pleasure. Our company
did not leave Aberdeen because we
wanted to, but on account of our
railroad tickets not being good any
longer. We are all charmed with
Aberdeen and wish its good people
every success necessary for their
prosperity. Commandant of students
Lieut.. L. B. Bolton accompanied us
on our trip of pleasure. and on his
return gave good report of us to
Gen. Lee, the President of our Col
lege, so we now have bright hopes of
attending the next Aberdeen Fair.
