S Correspondence Editor St. Croix Avis. Dear Sir:— Would you kindly allow me a little gpace to follow suit? It seems a terrible habit for almost ‘‘every body’’ to de- mand, or request something from the Government and, Oh! there is no end to the wants. Now my request will not be among the very costly andI trust not among the most ancient. : I beg to suggest, that as the old walls of the dear nld Fort are now being re- paired and nicely white washed, tonat the “WHITE WASH”’ be aliowed to remain on the walls for somne length of time, which 1 think will help greatly to brighten the solitary appearance of the old walis and throw much light on the apparanece of the Bandstand and its suy oundings.
