{(Noll) intro-~
duced
the
Resolution
and recommeanded
that it be furthered and passed.
Despatehing
Secretary
(O’Hagan)
re-
marked: Mr.
Chairman.
This
Resolu-
tion is along
the general lines of the Res-
olutions
you
have
already
zcted
upon.
There
are
several
properties
for
which
tne Municipality
has
no
use
at
present,
there
is
=
small
house
at Peter’s
Farm
® which could be rented.
Another
instance
is the Post
Ofice.
These
buildines
could
be
rented
and
some
additional
revenues
could
be
derived:
we
are
asking
that
power be given
te
tke Governor
so
that
these
properties
could
be
rented,
and
it
will 2lso have
the
good
effect of having
a
person
on the property.
2nd
Member
for
Christiansted
Town
(Canzgcta)
remarked:
Mr.
Chairman.
If iy unde,standing
of
the rights of the
Municipal Committeeis correct,
the Muni-
cipal Committee
has
the
right to rent
all
propertics belonging
to the
municipality;
if this Lesolution
is
: assed
it
would
be-
come
law and
we would be
depriving the
Municipal
Committee
and
the
Council
of
the
rights
which
they
possess.
[
therefore
eannot
vote
for the Resolution.

BUSINESS
ETHICS :-Remember
your

patrons
are entitled to courtesy
in
your

business
dealings
with them,
and
ought
'
pot
to
be
subjected
to your whims and
.
caprices
of whether you ara
having your
~
lunch at some irregular hoar
or
are
too
.
preocrupied
to get
up and serve
them.
'
Your having
a
signboard
up
and your
doors open
are evidence
that
you
are
in
-
business
and prepared
to serve
the
pub-
lic who will not always
stand
your
hog-
gish,
.ungentlemanly
manners.
Do
not
.
advertise
goods you have
not got just be-
|
cause
you
want
to
quote
lower
prices
.~
than
your competitors
who are
as
much
.
entitled
to sell at
their
own
prices
and
-
command
trade
which
you
lose
through
.
your lack of business
deportment..,
‘‘All

men
are
created
equal’’,
is a quotation
we often
hear
; it figures
in the
constitu-
tion of our
great
country,
and
conveys
-a
world
of meaning
to
the
student
of
.
thought.
You
are
perhaps
aiming
at,
~convineing
others
that
you
were
creat
%
,
differently, and if you continue
your pre-¥#
.
sent
methods
you will
have
no
difficulty
|
in assuring
the
majority
that
you
were
-
marked
out for
the
jungle
and
not
tae

city.
Be advised
and
change
your
tac-
~
tics towards
your
fellow
men
the
hum-
~
blest of whom
can
teach
you
a
lessen
in
~
business
ethics.
Sell good goods :if you

must keep
rotten
goods,
use
them
your-e

seli.
Endeavor
to make your

and
your

give
your

L
Hd,
St
Croix Avis-
We
are
all
glad
to
see
you
boom
the
cinematograph
once
in
a
wihile.
Mr.
Svendsen
deserves
praise
and
encouragement
for
the
efforts
he
is
making
to
entertain
the public
with
his
moeving picture
theatre,
and
we
all
appreciate
the diversion
it affords.
At
any
rate
we
must
be
thankful
that
we
'
have
that
theatre
and
haven’t
got
to
depend
uvon
that
bluff
that
was
once
handed
us
in
the
form
of
a
‘‘New
Gaiety”’ all
talk
of
which
appears
to
have
grown
rather
old
and
stale
be-
fore the wonderful
ideas
have
even
been
drafted
on
paper.
How
some
people
.
are fooled by any humbug
handed
them
!
‘
As
patrons
of
the
theatre
however,
we
want
to suggest
that
our
energetic
.
management
take into consideration
the
.
dropping
of entrance
fees which
would
.
not alone
enable
people
to patronize
the
.
theatve
more
regularly,
but
in
larger
-
numbers.
In
Frederiksted,
the
Movies
.
there
charge half-price for children and
|
on
this
account
it
is
made
easier
for
'
large
families
to
attend.
Very
often
|
it might
be that
some folks
would
like
|
to
spend
an
evening at
the theatre
but
.
it is so
expensive
to
take all the
child-
|
ren,
and
not
practicable
to
leave
any
at home,
and
so they
don’t bother
to go.
‘
Children
will
occupy
less
space
than
grown-ups
and
as
the
hall
is
never
’
crammed,
they
will
not
encroach
on
the space.
‘
Won’t
our aimiable
manager
try this
|
for 4 show
or two and
see
how it works
?
