..~
it
,
|
time: yesterday
morning, however, it was
reported
by the
operators
at the
Radio
Station
that they could
get
no
current,
and
upon investigation it was
discovered
that
a window'in the
power
house
had
|
been
forced
open,
and
a
certain
shift |
lever
in
the
switchboard
moved where-
|
by
the
current
escaped.
Os
course,
as
is proper,
this
matter
has
been
re-
ported
to the Police
through
whom it is
|
hoped some
light may
be thrown on
the
case
which is beyond doubt
a
nasty
busi-
ness
that deserves
severe
handling
Not
a month ago
when
the town was
threat-
ened
with
the-
lcss
of electricity,
Mr.
Fabio
beecame
the moving spirit to'offset
this retrogression
in our civic affairs and
instead
of
such
dastardly tricks
as
the
one
related it should ratheér
be
expected
that
the public would extend
him all
the
help possible
to make
the undertaking
a
success
and worth his
while to continue.
It is sincerely
to be
deplored when
men
drop
to the level
of committing
acts
of
this
sort
and biinded
by wicked,
mali-
cious
design expend
energy
and cunning
in
wrecking
the
efforts
of their
more
self-respecting
fellow creatures,
and
‘we
trust
the
culprit,
whoever
he
is,
will
take
this
lesson
to
heart,
and
feel
so
heartily
ashamed
of
himself
as
never
again
to attempt
anything
so
discredit-
able.
‘
As a
matter
to
which
public attention
has
been
directed,
the
local
postmaster
desires
to
make
knuwn
that,
as regards
letter-carrier
serviee,
the
Post
Office
Department
advises,
among other things,
that in view of the
lack
of
the
neces-
sary
civic
improvements,
and
the
fact
that
practically
all
mails
received
at
Christiansted
arrive
too late in the after-
noon
to be
delivered
the
same
day, the
Department
ao2s
not
consider
it
advis-
able
to
give furtheb
consideration
to
the question
of establishing
village
de-
liveryservice
here
at
this
time,
and
the
matter
has
accordinzly
been
closed
