tigate this matter and make my
findings public. l visited theHon.
Harry E. Taylor at his office and
he disclosed that; :
In October 1913, the Municipal
Committee approved leasing the
premises to me at a reasonable
sum per month.
The Administrator rejected the
proposal on the grounds that the
Committee should state what If
considered a reasonable sum per
month; furthermore recommend
ed that l should have the pre-
misses on the same basis as the
lease to the st. Croix Fruit & We
getable Company, Inc.
He did not advise me what had
TRANSFERRED, nor did he follow up
the matter, nor did he intend to
advise me of the leasing of the
premises to another party. This
was clearly stated by the Admin
strator.
/ told the Administrator that I
was informed the Committee had
made to believe that I no longer
required the premises, by a per-
son or persons volunteering this
Information. He denied any know
of this, stating that he did
not discuss the matter with the,
Committee but was of the opin-
ion that / had so informed them.
Upon leaving the Administra-
tors Office / visited the office of
the Municipal Council and spoke
with the Chairman of the Munich
pal Committee. He disclosed as
follows:
That the Committee had approx
ed the leasing of the premises in
question to a Continental, for
storage purposes.
That this application was of a
very recent date.
That upon receipt of the Cont
nentars application the Hon.
Harry E. Taylor in transmitting
the application invited the Com
mittee to make an inspection
tour of the premises. He arrang-
ed transportation and accompa-
MED the Committee on this tour.
This was also stated by the Ad-
ministrator).
The Administrator discussed the
leasing of the premises with the
Committee. The Chairman of the
Committee raised the question of

THE DOCK PROJECT

THE DOCK PROJECT for St. Croix is finally about to
get under way That is, the Bureau Of the Budget has nc
objections, and the matter will no doubt come before the
8lst Congress before long. As is already known, Congress
does its greatest and best work in committees, and when a
measure has been cleared through the appropriate committee
it is almost safe to tag the measure passed.
H RECOMMENDATIONS advanced by the office
of the Chief Engineer, of the Army gives the fullest iustifica-
ton for the project, and that is one Of the big hurdles over
come. Details have been worked out, following careful study
and the Army can see significant benefits coming to this Is
land by the development of the project. Everyone looks for
ward to this project, and it is hoped that before long the
work will actually start.
O ST. CROIX, it has become apparent that no one
central industry will be the answer to her economic pro-
blemS. There will have to be a combination of agriculture,
fishing, manufacturing, and tourist trade. Under agriculture
we will have to consideT. such enterprises as the production
of fruits an vegetables for export, in addition to sugar cane,
likewise the making and selling of preserves from native
fruits. An idea of what can be done is shown by the fact that
Florida is making special tropical delicacies for shipment
all over the nation. More, that state has experimental in
guava, papaya, and other tropical fruits, all of which we
look upon as wild fruits here at home. The dock will first
of all give employment in its construction, and after that
there will have to be maintenance and upkeep. With ships
attracted through the widening Of the harbor channel, other
employment will beafforded for more of our citizens.
PRESENTLY THE principal method Of passenger ira
vel is the airplane, and it is INown that with tourist ships
making winter cruises, we miss quite a bit, for it may be
possible to attract many of those touching San Juan and
Charlotte Amaie. Afiye-hour leave of 800 or 400 passengers
from a tourist ship can mean a lot to an island like this. And

tor stated that he was of the
opinion that ! no longer required
the use of the premises because
the plant had been offered for
sale. The Hon. Walter Hodge said
he was of the same opinion.
| asked the Chairman of the
Municipal Committee if the Ad-
mnistrator'S statement to the
Committee had any influence on
the Committees decision to lease
the premises to the Continental.
The Chairman said he could not
speak for the Committee, only
for himself, and that his decision
was definitely influenced. He
was surprised to learn that the
administrator had indicated to
me that he was totally unaware
OF the reason for the Committees
action. The Hon. Samuel c.
Chase requested that / write him
immediately so that he could take
Inc matter up with the Committee.
This letter was written on Febru-
airy %, 1919.
The Committee replied on
March Bird to the effect that favor
able action was taken in connec-
ton with my application of Sep
TENDER LIZ 1948, and no action as
lar as the Committee knows was
taken by me thereon.
This is an absurd answer. The
committee or the Administrator
had never informed me officially
OF any action favorable or unfayor
able on my application. / was
never called in to discuss or sign
a lease of any kind. If the Com
m1ttee had acted favorably upon
my application it was their duty
to notify the Administrator and
he In turn contact me towards
signing. a lease. This was done in
the case of the ContinentaPs
plication. If this procedure had
been followed in my case and /
had failed, then such a letter as
the Committee wrote me on March
8, would be quite in order. Pro-
baby the Committee feels that a
poor excuse is better than none
The manner in which Municipal
property is handled is the peoples

ing in the shade of some tree, gently
chewing away on their cuds
By the way, did you ever stop to
think that COW "has it all over us"
when it comes to eating? You know
how little you care about eating
when you have cold, and have lost
your sense of taste, and how much
more you enjoy your meals when
they are seasoned to suit you? Well,
COW gets two whacks at that tast-
ing. First, when she bites it off fresh
and juicy from the field, and then
again when she lies down in tired
complaeency and with eyes half
shut, regurgitates those half-chewed
balls of grass and goes to work on
them right, thus getting double
dose of that taste. while we only get
one, and if we are in big hurry
Gas we usually are) to get back to
work, we don't really get the full
benefit of that one taste.
All too quickly we came down the
last slope and met the old route near
Braddock. AS we looked at and
enjoyed the drive, we said, "I'm sure
the scenery as one comes from Ha-
gerstown to Frederick is much mic
er than it would be if we were GO
ing the opposite direction, but some
time we will reverse our route just
to see."
Very unexpectedly, the opportun-
ity came only few days later, so
that we could judge while the pleas
ure of the first ride was fresh in our
minds, and we found we were en-
tirely mistaken. The view driving
south, beautiful as it is, is entirely
over Swallowed by the splendor of
what unrolls before you as you go
north, particularly as you top hill
and see before you the attractive
town of Myersville, nesting in it's
trees, against the slope of big hill,
its neat white frame and bright red
brick houses cleaning in the sun
shine, and the spires of its church
steeples standing out in relief against
the green background of the noun
tains.
/ have seen many of our beauty
spots in the Eastern end of our
country, but to my mind and taste,
there is none that can excel the
beauty to be seen on a ride over our
dual Highway" Try it and see
for yourself.

OUTSIDE THE LAW

uoUsE INVESTIGATORS are
II concerned over evidence that
the Red hierarchy win go under
ground II the eleven Americans"
being tried In New York for con-
spiracy against our government are
convicted.
1t is suspected that orders have
already arrived from Moscow to
break the party into small groups
members of one group being I'M
known to those of other groups:
each group having a leader; these
leaders also meeting In small groups
and one of them contracting someone
higher up.
II Is a good plan--if IL works.
But soon or later the F.B.L will
get their names; and the fact
that they have gone underground
win place them In a more peril
lous position with the courts and
in the estimation Of the Ameri-
can public.
AS Of today the public is prone TO
take the American" communist
more or less as Joke. And this is
most unfortunate. The citizens of
every nation which these horrible
creatures have enslaved once re-
garded them in the same light. But
now that they are beginning TO sneak
underground like any other worm,
our public will at long last wake UP
TO the fact that there is an actual
plot in existence to overthrow our
government by bloody force.
What should be the reaction
to these traitors and their new
plans? Surely not a repetition
Of the long expensive trial be-
fore Judge Medina! Should they
not be placed "outside the iaw?"
We can be inereduI0us II we like,
but these people are plotting the
violent death Of hundreds of
thousands OF good Americans.
Their Russion brothers have liquI-
dated millions small farm owners,
millionaires. little shop keepers and
labor leaders, and even each other.
The very first to face the firing
squad would be the president Of the
United States. his cabinet and the
members Of congress. That has al
ways been the Red routine - why
should it suddenly change in our
case? Don't answer-TT WON'T.
We are losing the battle for the
survival OF democracy on most
fronts For our children's sake, n
not for our own. let us hold this
front against that CHASTITY living
death devised by diseased men and
women for their own selfish benefit.
