GENERAL FUND
SCARS TO $3295.6l5
SCORING

This is a late news release
mailed to the Avis from St
Thomas:
"For the first three months of
the current fiscal year, General
Fund revenues amounted to an
all-time high of $S,295,615 which
represents an increase Of exactly
47% over the revenues collected
in the first three months Of the
preceding fiscal year. There is to
be noted here what I hope may be
an important trend, that iS-dur-
ing the month of September 1862
there was a decrease in collec-
ton of all major items of revenue
whereas during the month of
September 1868 there was a sub
stantial increase in all major
items on revenue. Thus, on Sep
TENDER 80, 1862 total revenues
showed an increase of 24.63% as
compared with an increase Of 47%
at the end of September 1863,
This is partially but not substan-
tally due to the increa5ed rate
of gross receipts taxes.
Income taxes which were up
,2O.17% at the end of September
last year were up 51.70% at the
end Of September this year. This
is due to increased business acti-
vities as well as improved en-
forcement procedures and special
audits resulting from the improv-
ed and expanded activities of the

QUEEN LOUISE HONE RECEIVES ONLY
AOPR Child NOT $50 AS REPORTEDl

In the AVIS article Of October 18th. on the Queen
Louise Home For Children, run by the Lutheran Church,
which was eadined QUEEN LOUISE HOME FOR
CHILDREN RUNS AT A LOSS OF $500. E
MONTH";, this paper said this loss was incurred "be-
cause it costs $4,000 to feed. clothe and house each
child living there. And the Queen Louise Home re-
ceives only $4,000 per month for each child. This is a
.oss Of $500 per month for each dependent y~oungster
in the home"
We erred there.
The Queen Louise Home receives only $4,000 per
month per child. And since it costs $103. 90 to feed, clothe
md house each child each month, then the loss isn't
$500 per month.
IT'S ALMOST TWICE THAT!
It's a $4,000 a month loss for each child!
IS it any wonder that the children Of the Queen
.ouise Home for Children in Frederiksted is unable to.

cost is only $500 day. or $3.50 a week?
