71, of the Code
of Laws for the Municipality of 3t.Croix,
passed
by
the
Colomal

on June

returned,
in
view
of the following errors:
The caption
states
that
the Code of
Laws for St. Croix
was
passel
.July 9,
1920
ard
approved
July
12,
1920,

In the first paragraph

LOCAY,
Many persons
express
-vonder
that
the
ravy band
does
not include
any
jazz
mu-
sic in their programmes.
1t is suggested
that this
matrer
be reterred
to
the
Des-
patching Secretary
who
is
in
charge
of
the band’s
arrange
nents during its
stayv
here,
and will surely
be glad
‘o meet
the
tastes
of one and
ali
as
far
as
possible
For
our
part
we
don’t
care
about
the
Jazz,
but
a lerge majority
of
these
who
attend
the
coneerts
give
the
preference
to that sort of music
and
fail
to
appre-
ciate
the efforts
of the
band
without
it.
The
band
plays jazz in
St. Tlomas
it
is
understood,
so
therc
will in ail
probabili-
ty be
no objection
to it here.
We have
been
as<ed
to
mo>ntion
that
the Native Brass
Band
will
¢ive
a
con-
cert
on the Wharf tonight.
"*A Hunting
Scene’’
and
‘‘Banddidntstrike’’
wili
be
played by request.
The
s.
s.
*‘Parima’’
will leave
New
York on the 30th inst.
Correspondence
The Editor
‘‘St. Craixz Am;’’,
Dear Sir,—We
certainly
agree
with
you that the Danish
film ''The
Beautiful
Denmark’
should
be
shown
again.
It
was
indeed
beautiful
Denmark,
and
would certainly
be appreciated
a
second
time.
We
would
suggest
Friday
even-
ing this week and
not Saturdav,
as
some
perscns
were unable
to attend
on
Satur-
day night last being
otherwise
engaged.
This excellent
picture is very instructive,
and
we advise
all those
who did
not
see
it at the first 2xhibition
to
take
the
op-
portunity this
time shomd
Mr. Svendsen
decide
to show
same
again,
which
we
hope he will. —(Se det yndigt Land igen.)
