JISl'I' PITCHFORD, of the second class under the Act of Con -y gress of March 3, 1879. Proprietor, THE ST. JOHNS REVIEW Start the Now Year right by paying up your subscription and renewing for another year. 1 The ChriBtmas just paBsetl in St. Johns was the most enjoy able in a general way that nasi occurred for a number of years. One reason for this was that then) was found to bo practi cally no real destitution, and there were few if any hungry mouths to fill through charity. Work in plenty and good wages placed all in a happy and con tented condition. The stores, so far as learned, did an unpre cedented business. s The need of an opera house in St. Johns is urged by a writer elsewhere in this paper. As the population increases this need 1 1 becoming more ap parent. T ic suggestion made that a meeting of our citizens be called h discuss the needs of the town is a good one. While many are aware of needful things in St. Johns, unless some action be launched in an effort to secure them, they will not be acquired. Why would it not be a good plan for the leading men of St. Johns to call a meet ing where discussion may take place and views expressed? An opera house, hospital, apart ment houses, hotels, laundry. more dwellings,- all are live topics and an open discussion may bring out ways and means of acquiring thorn. Let us have a public meeting. There is a rumor in the air that Standifer and associates are seriously considering the idea of locating their immense steel ship building plant on tho land adjoining the elevator system in North St. Johns. As is known, the Dock Com a . mission lias sixty acres oi un excelled land there that will not be needed for elevator or cnnl bunker niirnoses. and it is said, is Willing to have tlliB ami tit zed for ndustr a pur, r .

When the announcement was iirst made that Staandifer and associates had secured contracts from the government for stool ships ntf grognting many millions of dol lars and that thoy would erect a million dollar plant to tako ware of tho same, it seemed to lie a foregone conclusion that Vancouver would lie the location decided upon, but since the mombers of tins company had their attention directod toward tho many appealing features of the bt. Johns site, there is a Ntrong probability, it is said. that the big plant will bo locat ed June. Alay It be so. Chostor A. Vincent, son of Ir. and Mrs. A. W. Vincent, of Lonvitt street, arrived homo hint week from South America, whore bo turn hold responsible positions lor the past tour yuan. ChosUr was formerly on tho ongineor stntT of the old city of St. Johns. During his ntmuncu lie has witnessed many interesting sights and passed through some unusual ex per iuncos.
