It May Concern.

March

Editor St. Croix Avis:—
|
Some
days ago
you called
attention
~
to
the
profiteering
in
he
fish
market,
-
ind
directed
the
notice
of
the
Food
-
Commission
to
the.
exhorbitant
prices
prevailing
here
in
Christiansted
which
used
to be
noted for its reasonable
prices
of
fish.
So far as known
no regard
has
been paid to your
comment,
and
no steps
taken
toward
rectifying
what
is
fast
becoming
an
irtolerable
situation,
and
the public is still
looking at the so-called
Food
Commission
and wondering of what
possible
use
it is,
Your attenticn
is now
drawn
to something
else
that has
caused
people
to sit up énd
ask
‘‘what
next’’?.
It
is the export of sugar
from St.
Croix
to St. Thomas
(o which
you
mad.
refer-
ence yesterday
under official news
It is
positively stated that that
sugar has
been
sold
to St. Thomas
at
11 cents
a
pound,
while
here
in
the
island
the
wholesale
price
is
13
cents.
Now will you for the
last
time
call
upon
the Food
Commission
to
come forward and
in publie print
ex-
plain
to the people
what
itis
doing
in
these
matters?
The
public hasa right
to know how its
interests
are
being
vro-
tected
or endangered
by
its
deputi-s,
and
if the price of
raw fish is
to be
any
figure
the ignorant
unreasonaule
fisher-
man
chooses
to
fix upon
it,
and
sugar
can be exported
to St.
Thomas
at a lower
price
than the people
pay
in the
island
where
it is manufactured,
an appeal
of
some
sort will have to be got up
to
abol-
ish
the organization
known
238
t(he Food
Commission
of St.
Croix.
