A resident of Compainy Street sent us
a suggestion which is timely. He says
that he 4nd others would like to install
modern toi'ets andthat before putting.
the asphait surface on the stree® the
sewerage pipes shouid oe laid. We do
pot know if itis the intention of the
wvovernment to exiend the pipe lines to
Company Street. ILe sewerage system
is an improvemant long promised this
community and therefore the pipes were
laid in King Street before * the Street -
was paved.
The Government-can find the little
extra mooey for this work if the in
inelination to do it is there.
The time will come when the reve
nues irom the sale of ligior wiil enaoie
us to carry forward the improvements
now begun and to make all St. Cioix a
paradise. :

from persons interested in the purchase
of St. Croix Rum. President Roose
velt has done more in his talk with
pewspaper men o advertise St. Croix
rum than we could have accomplished °
with an expenditure of millions.
@it is now up tour to DO OURIPART.
We must put a good product on the mar
ket. The old rum manufacturers who
made St, Croix rum famous were not
merely contemplating to get rich. over
pight. They weré much concerned over
making good rum, and when this good
rum was put through the aging process
- it was something fit for a Franklin De
lano Roosevelt to serve at his table.
If the Colonial Council thinks it wise
it would legislate to protect the name
*‘Bt. Croix Rum™’, so that only good
rum could bear this label. A basis for

January Term of the Court at Christian
sted at seven o’clock p. m on Friday,
January 26. h, and at Frederiksted at
nine u’cluck a. m. on January 27. It is
} not expected that this coming term_ of
tne Court will afford so great public in
terest as did the November Terin, for
~ the reason that the number of ecases is
| much smaller and those of a e¢riminal
‘ nature of much less gravity.
: The work on the second section of

deep drains there will be shallow drains
which ¢an bz used in part for parking
cars and, in the absence of sidewalks
present a better appearance. :

a "'New Deal’’. After three successive
