To Editor St. Croix Avis:
Dear Sir:-
While[ appreciate
the help
given the Industrial
Biass
Baud of Chris-
tiansted by the C.
C.
of this
Island,
and
I agree
that
native
talents,
in every
di-
rection
ought
to be
recognized
and
en-
couraged,
I regret
very
much
to note
the
dirty weapon
which
the
letter writer of
the I. B.
B.
used
in order
to secure
this
encouragement.
I do not know
of any previous
subsidy
being
given
this
band.,.
I know
that
from some
personal feeling or other
1. B.
B.
was given a monthly allowance
of $lO.
from
a
private
fund.
I know
too
that
the
Native
Brass
Band
did
all public
playing during
this
time
Fire
Brigade
Exercise,
Militia March,
pubiic concerts
and
every
thing
else,
without
a
cent
from
public
or private
funds.
I know
also tha
Vietor
Thompson
of the N. B.
B.
was
one of the
first
eanlisted
for the
Naval Band,
and he
used
the instrument
of
the
N. B. B.
until
the
Navy instru-
ments
arrived.
What
has
the
[. B. B.
done
then
to warrant
mention
in
their
petition for help?
If this be their reason
for exacting help from
Govt.
then
they
rendered
help to the Naval Band—a thing
not
under
Colonia!
Administration—and
not to the public
and
therefore
was not
entitled to any help.
Yours Truly,
B.

that it will be

for them
to take
the completed
text of the treaty
to Vien-
"
na and submit
it to the assembly
for its
approval
before
the
delegates
can sign
.
it.
The suggestion
brought
cxpressions
of surprise
from
the
members
of
the
.
council
as it had been
thought
the Aus-
'
trian
delegation
had
full power.
The

is urging the Austrians
to make

some
arrangement
to
sign
the
treaty

without taking
it to
Vienna.
The sign-
.
ing of the treaty
as
a result of this unex-
|
pected
development,
it
is
said,
may be

postponed
