against eating meat until the prices have
gone down reasonably. Do you remem-
Der what the public suffered DIT one time
by those very butchers when a certain law
ruled that they should rot sell meat above
a stated price?
This further leads into other channels,
where high prices are still going strong
and where an open campai n against such
prices should be Waged.
We need another Food Commission or
an Industrial Commission, or SOMETHING
workable to regulate such matters for
the poor people especially, this would be
beneficial to the entire population in
these days when salaries are shrunk so

members of the Colonial Council and Of
the Consular corps began to arrive in
little groups shortly after II a. m, in each
instance being received and warmly well
coined by His ExceIlency and Aides.
The hall was most beautifully decorat-
ed with bunting and adorned With natu-
raj flowers, tous revealing an exquisite
taste, and the splendid appearace of the
naval officers lined up in horse shoe for
nation added grandeur to the scene.
At about 11.25. the Governor. standing
in the middle of the hall, in the name Of
the President of the United States and in
his w name expressed Sincerest wishes
to the8 inhabitants of these islands for a
most Happy and Prosperous New Year.
He then made a fine review Of present
world conditions, stating that there was
a tendency towards hettermant almost
everywhere, and that st. Thomas would
certainly get her just share of the COM
ing prosperity. He made favorable re-
terence to the characteristics Of the peO-
pie ana TO our climate and scenery,
showing that these islands are not at all

spoCS Tor attracting tourists, such as Hon

self as being most optimistic in regards to
our future.
Acting on the advice and consent of
the members OF the Council the Chair
man had previously designated the 9TH
elected Member, Corneiro to respond to
the Governors address, and that gentle
man, in appropriate language. in repre-

co npIlments. to the President and the
Governor, and made a few remarks rela-

Dear Sir
Having waited until today to find
some question or article on the sudden
drop in price of meat and finding none
IN your valued columns, I wish to ask .
few questions, and comment a little on
that subject
Firstly:-Has the price of live stock to
our local butchers dropped anv between
the month of Nov. and Dec. 1921
Secondly:-If so, why did not the nrico
to the purchasing public drop before S,ln-
day Jan. 8?
ThirdIy:-If it has not dropped within
or before the time here mentioned. was
It from the resolution of the Cooperative
Butchary to sell meat at a CHEAPER rate
say l6c. a pd. that, compelled the other
dealers to reduce still lower say 14c.
Sir! 1t IS my wish that these questions
be answered, if you are unable will some
one else explain?
NOW, drawing my own conclusion.

third question is the solution to this
