it raises a fundamental ques-
ton Of interest to all residents
CT this wonderful island.
In your article you point out
some of the major difficulties
which still face us prior to the
opening of the hotel, such as
telephone service and ade-
quate roads, and you make a
plea that we be given help and
cooperation in solving these
problems. We have asked for
assistance from the Govern
ment on these matters, and we
have every reason to believe
that our request will meet
with favorable consideration.
Obviously from the standpoint
Of the Government and its
revenues it is most important
that our project at Grapetree
be a success.
OF greater importance than
cur immediate problems, how
ever, to all of us who live on
this island is the fundamental
