THE POWER DEPARTMENT OF VICORP


The Power Department takes pleasure in announcing a
rate reduction for st. Croix consumers, lowering the first
block of energy from 40 XVIII a 10 cents a XVIII to 4KWH
"a 8 cents a XVIII. While this rate will mostly affect our
minimum users who previously were allowed 10 XVIII at
the minimum $100 rate and now are allowed l2.5 XVIII, it
will also reduce all residential and commercial "B" consumer
bills 80 cents who use 40 or more XVIII monthly, and IS a
step in the right direction.
This reduction will amount to $4,000 monthly decrease
in revenue from our Residential and schedule "B" consumers.
We anticipate an increase in the use of electricity with a
restoration Of our revenues, and at such time we shall again
undertake a rate reduction. We urge all consumers ITO GO
ELECTRIC" so that we may soon again reduce your rates.
The reduction in rates will begin with all bills mailed
on and after August ], 1854. At the same time the Power De-
partment is offering another reduction in rates for the st.
Thomas Division. This is their second reduction and is. a re-
suit of their greater use of electricity as well as a more ia
vorable central location Of consumers.

~VERN HOUSE RUM

@# M@
NOT LONG-AGO we saw an advertisement in an
American paper on Government House Rum, and immediate
" Of the origin of that product, and what went with it.
PERHAPS one export for which the Virgin Islands
was known during the war years was Government House
Rum. 1t helped balance the local budget, and gave employ
ment to many throughout the Island. The Virgin Islands
Company, from its beginning, made and exported raw sugar,
and used molasses to distil Government House Rum.
BUT ALL THAT is gone. Cries of socialism, and govern
ment interference in private business, plus the fact that in
spots a few faces were made red by the fact that a govern
ment could be engaged in the manufacture and sale of rum,
caused the cessation of production.
BECAUSE OF the peculiar economic position in which
we find ourselves it may be necessary to use morthodox ways
Of meeting the situation. This is not to say that any funda-
mental principle will be sacrificed, and for heavens sake,
nothing even remotely resembling socialism is in mind. When
these islands started making and exporting rum, it was with
a view of having something to export, something which we
could produce, and which could, at the same time, help the
situation. Absent private capital to engage in, or take over
the enterprise, then it would seem as if the local government
might be forced to take this step.
ALONG THIS same line is the lottery in St. Thomas,
This type of thing is done everywhere. But the overriding
question should be whether the local government can take a
economic s~ituation-Without snufing out private initiative.
ALL OF THIS thinking, Of course, came about because
of seeing again an advertisement about Government House
Ium, and realizing that it came into being in an effort to
Lelp solve the economic problem.
