We believe that, when extraordinarily- ~important affairs, which have beengfor a ~ long time set aside; become at last press ing and urgent: the end fully justifies the . means whereby, such affairs are forced upon the attention of those whose immedi- ' ate ‘and particular duty it is; not only to | concern themselvesin the premises of suct: | affair or affaira, but also to prepare ac l cording to the circumstances for dealing ' with the same as is reasonable and con- | sistent with the subject, and their rela- tion therewith: hence this mode, Gentle- ' men, of approaching you; the Members ot the Colonial Council of St. Croix on the long-deferred, but most serious need In the Town of Christiansted—''A Re- servoir’’.

If then Gentie- . men, Frederiksted, asks for a Reservoir; is our request for Christiansied less | worthy of consideration? We can be sure that, the said Chairman himself honestly and sincerely thinks not—but of eourse he lives in i'rederiksted, and we cannot blame him for carefully look- ing after his own chicks firsc. - The question of the need, tne sore need, the dire need of a ‘‘Water Re: serve’’ in Christiansted hias been In re- cent day; let alone in former times most foreibly argued out. The situation today is the means whereby such a need may be suppiied, and the ways and means Gentlemen in urgent cases s this rests with the men whom we have placed in the responsible positions which you fiil, and upon whom we now urgently and earnestly call. The group of persons, who are behind this Appeal are chiefly men and women lepresent- ing the householders and other proper- ty owners of the Town, who are oi the opinion that, honoraole and sincere Legistators and Councillors as we know you to be; you cannot longer shirk the duties and responsibilities resting upon - you, but will see the long suffering need of Christiansted Town-Dwellers and act-
