THE LETTER
October 26. 1862
The Honorable John A. Carver, Jr.
Acting Secretary of the Interior
Department of the Interior
Washington, D. G.
Dear Mr.. Carver:
As you know, / was greatly con-
cerned at the September meeting
of the Virgin Islands Corporation
Board at the precipitate action the
Board was urged to take pertain
ing to the discontinuance in 1868
of operation of the sugar produc-
ing mill on st. Croix.
Until this meeting, there has al
ways been over the years an un-
derstanding by the growers that
at least three years. and prefer
ably five years. protection for the
harvesting and grinding of their
crop would be provided if the dis
continuance Of sugar ever were de
cided. This is & always has been a
fair and reasonable good faith un-
derstanding because each new crop
involves 18 months cultivation be-
fore harvest and with some resup-
plying provides three to five years
crop over which to spread the ex-
pense.
At the September meeting l Wig
orously urged that no decision be
adopted to phase out sugar cane
or sugar production until and I'M
less the whole economic problem
of the sugar program or its pos
sible substitute could be thorough
~ considered. / pointed out that
even to imply that a discontinue
ance of sugar is intended before
a plan to replace the cash flow
of the sugar crop is carefully and
completely worked out and adopt
ed would be premature and very
disturbing to the inhabitants and
the economy of st. Croix. Des-
troying the extremely important
sugar cash crop Of ST. Croix would
destroy the confidence in the in

No Tax-Free Booze to be Sold On Ferry Malaspina

JUNEAU R-Atty. Gen. George Hayes said Friday the state will not permit tax-free liquor to be served aboard the ferries to be operated on the new Southeast Alaska Marine Highway System.
 Hayes made the comment after being asked about a report that Chris Palzer, the ferry concession alre, had received Customs Bureau approval to serve so-called Sea Stores liquor on that portion of the ferry run between Ketchikan and Prince Rupert.
 Hayes said he discussed the sit uation with Palzer by telephone and had been assured that Palzer would not attempt to sell any of the 120 cases of tax-free liquor he now has aboard the Malaspina.
 R. D. Stevenson, acting Com- missioner of Revenue, confirmed that Palzer had loaded the sea stores liquor at Seattle, from a bonded U. s. Internal Revenue Service warehouse under Customs Bureau supervision.
 Sea stores liquor is for use only on boats operating outside of US. territorial waters or in foreign commerce.
 Purchasers of sea stores whiskey are not required to pay US. taxes and duty amounting to $11.75 gallon Or state taxes. The Alaska state tax on whiskey is $4.5O a gallon.
 In addition to the sea stores li- quor, Palzer also loaded at Seattle 239 cases of whikey, 24 cases of wine and 419 cases of beer, all purchased from Alaska licensed distributors. All state and federal taxes were paid on these purchases, Stevenson said.
 Hayes said that after talking with Palzer he felt the situation was resolved"
 The state, Hayes added, takes the position that tax-free liquor is not going to be served on the ferries"
