CONDITIONS UNDER H POWER AUTHORITY
ORDINARILY A POWER Authority is vested with
wide and far-reachng powers. This is necessary if it is to do
its work effectively. Yet, such a body is within the structure
of the government, and should be subject to the ultimate
control Of that government. This does not mean that the
Administration should seek to disturb the normal function
ing of the local Power Authority with complaints and in
v~estigaions not justifiable.
IN H WAY matters are proceeding many users of
electrical energy have seriously questioned the effectiveness
of the work done by the St. Croix Power Authority. There
are many matters, important more or less, into which the
Authority should inquire honestly, and seek to correct. 1t
is one of the duties Of such a body to determine that agen-
cies operating under it function at maximum efficiency,
with fair returns. Yet, at the same time the consumer of
electrical energy is also entitled to the same measure of pro-
lection. Such a policy faithfully followed, would place the
Power Authority at the peak of its usefulness.
A c WE fought strenuously for a change of
power from direct alternating current, reduction in rates,
and some central body in whose hands would be control of
the entire system. That battle, while in part successful, may
not be serving the community as well as it shouldtThere is
every advantage in the switch of power, and the extending
of power from the Virgin Islands Company to the towns.
However, when rates are not lowered, and other conditions
remain the same or, in instances, impose greater difficulties
upon consumers, it is time to have the Power Authority ex-
anime itself may be at hand. This we seriously suggest.
Should the Power Authority check progress under its ad-
ministration and find that conditions have not improved,
then it should take steps to see that these conditions come
up to par, or change provisions in its charter.
H ADMINISTRATION and the Legislature have the
power ito control any agency created by law. But it should
not be necessary to go that far, if the Authority seeing the

their lone flag. The Phlllles
have been second on July
Fourth twice during this per-
iod, sneaking through to win
in 1915, but failed to repeat
that trick in 1917 when they
were the runner-up to the Gil
ants both on July Fourth and
when the season ended.
The July Fourth runner-up
sneaked through to win the
pennant 10 times during this
period of "a years. That IN
cludes the 1915 exploit of the
Phillies. Other teams that
have done that were the Car
dinals in 194l and AS; the
Reds in 1910 and 1919; the
Cubs in 1945 and 1929; the
Giants in 1921 and 1887 and
the Dodgers in 1920.
It's not often, though, that
the team that is ahead on
July Fourth will not finish
one-two. During this 34-year
period, it's happened only
seven times.
Before 1915, the chances OF
the July Fourth leader ulti'
mately winning the flag was
much greater. AS matter oi
fact, from 1900 through 1914
the July Fourth leader failed
to win the pennant only once
and that happened in 1911
The Phillies were the leaders
on July Fourth but the Giants
won the flag.

that was the time the Phillies won their only
pennant and every team in the league, eX-
