relatively active rate of building
and industrial activity were of
equal and possibly greater import

Commenting on business the sum-
mary has this to say:
In spite Of rising bank deposits
due to the spending of a large per-
centage of the bonus money, store
executives assert that increased re-
tail sales were not as pronounced
as had been expected in many
quarters. This is clearly evident
from the sales data. the gain Of 5
per cent between May and June
being smaller than increments in
previous periods when no special
stimulant was present The one
field in which the effect of bonus
spending particularly stands out is
in the automobile industry. Pre-
liminary figures place registrations
of new cars in the eleven southern
counties during the past month at
approximately $4,000 the largest
June total in the history Of the
area.
Basically, the revival in building
activity is apparently doing more
to increase local prosperity than
any other single factor. Privately

Crucial Meeting
The council meeting in Green's
office was regarded by labor lead
ers as perhaps the most important
in recent years. Decisions reached

a dual unionism.
Three courses appear open to
the council: it must back down

suspension of unions containing a
third of the A F.. of LIS member

That the question of suspend

precipitate a bitter fight within

months ago because, he said, he
was tired of being a minority of

MODERN BURGLAR ALARM

The newest thing in burglar alarms does
more than ring bells when an intruder
actually begins to force an entrance to
building. 1t detects the would-be burglar
before he reaches the building and then
calls the police on ansordinary telephone.
The detecting arrangement consists of q
ray of invisible light which iS projected
completely around the building by means
of mirrors When this beam is interrupted,
as by the passage of human body through
it, the effect is instantly registered on an
electric eye which then sets another more
complicated device working. This device
automatically dials the telephone number
of the police department and reports the
presence Of the intruder.

The Public Works Department is appeal
ing for public cooperation during the re-
construction of the centerlins road
This is the road on which too great q
number of people have been killed and
wounded since the introduction of motor
propelled vehicles in this island The law
has never been able to impress the speed
kings that human safety on the public
roads is of any Importance.
Now that this extensive program has
been undertaking. thought must be given
to the safety of the workers ON the roads.
Mr.. 81. n. Mckenzie, who has been de-
signased assistant in st. Croix to Mr.. F. A.
Torkelson, Supervising Engineer for the
Virgin Islands who is directing the work
makes the following statement;
1t would be possible to close off certain
sections of the center line at certain times
and deteur the traffic, but the department
does not want to cause this Inconvenience
to the travelling public. 1t, however won't
be necessary very often if the public in
turn will slow down on new work and where
men and machinery are plainly visible
Con the other hand if fast moving vehi--
eles throw road working materials out
through negligence or careleSsness, the road
may have to be closed and detours made.
1t is entirely up to the drivers and l would
like an appeal be made to their sports
manship.
CAS- it is necessary to work upon the
sections least used during crop season, work
will be started at these points, and where
present roads are sufficiently wide to allow
Storage of stone without serious hindrance
to traffic, that will be done, in order to
complete as soon as possible, the entire
project"

The public is hereby notified that actu.

start at once and to that end is cautioned
that road machinery, materials ETC., may
be encountered at any time or place along
said highway.
There will be sufficient width of road al
lowed at all times for careful handling of
traffic, but drivers of motor-driven vehicles
are warned to use particular care at these
points.
Owners of pipe lines under highways are
also hereby notified that the code requires
pipes to be buried at least two feet deep, and
the Public Works Department therefore
cannot assume responsibility for pipes bur
led less than specified depth.
All drivers of road machinery, however,
will be instructed to exercise great care in
the operation of said machinery, that no
unnecessary Edamage be done to existing
pipe lines.
