pIeted, and the ~impounding basin has
been practically filled. In the city OF
Frederiksted, a ten thousand gallon Sc
servoir was completed and connected to
the impending basin. The reserve
water supply for Christlansted, TO oe
completed in October 1927. will consist
of wells leading into storage reservoirs
from which the water will be piped.
through the city, along lines considered
most c%onvepient for the issuing OF water.
Minor repairs to public buildings were
undertaken, but much remains to be done
which cannot be accomplished because OF
the shortage of funds. The Public Build
ings have deteriorated to a considerable
extent and will soon require major re-
pairs.
A conspicuous municipal improvement
was accomplished in Saint Thomas, under
an AUTHORIZATION made by the Colonial
Council in the latter part OF the year, by
grading ard installing culverts and a bl-
luminous. macadam surface on the road
known as De Beltjen's Road. for a dis
lance of approximately $500 feet. This
is the highway by which most persons ar
irving at the port of st. Thomas enter the
city of St. Thomas from the docks. This
type of road seems to be particularly we'll
adapted to conditions in Saint Thomas.
The Municipal Telephone Systems in
both Saint Thomas and Saint CroiX are
in dire need of new equipment. Much
of the equipment now In use is IN poor
condition and the degree of service rem
dered has required the utmost efforts OF
the personnel.
The Governors policy is to divert as
much Of the available funds, as can con-
veniently be diverted, for the accom-
plishment Of major public works i'm
provements. Repairs and improvements
Of the roads in both Saint Thomas and
Saint Croix, irrigation projects in Saint
Croix, repairs to public buildings, all re-
quire considerable funds and it is hoped,
year by year, to accomplish as much as
possible in this lire.
For the purpose of obtaining water for
stock, and thus enhance the cattle indus.
try, the Municipality of Saint Croix owns
and operates a we'll drilling outfit with
which wells are driven for priva e par
ties at cost. Six wells were driven dur
ing the year. all in the southern and
eastern parts of the Island. All the wells
are satisfactory, the depths ranging from
65 feet to 100 feet. and a good quality
of water is being obtaineo from each
we'll. The flow Of these wells ranges
from ten to twenty (10-IO gallons per
minute. The water derived is local rain
fall which has percolated into the COM

This shows a material drop in the i'm
portation of vegetables.
In the attempt to. make agricultural
education as effective as possible and to
impress upon the pupils the theory of
crop rotation, the routine Of vegetable
raising was changed to the planting of
sea island cotton, with excellent results.
Due to the shortage of funds, it has
not yet been possible to materially in
crease the manual training activities. 1t
is hoped that funds may be found for the
extension of this important work, since
there is a conspicuous need in the Islands
for trained carpenters, masons, etc.
The SesQui. Centennial international EX-
position on December 81, 1926, conferred
a silver medal upon the public schools of
the Virgin Islands for educational SER
vice, especially in Manuel Training, Sew
ing and Basketry.
On the whole. it is believed that, with
the limited funds available, the children
of the Islands are satisfactorily cared for
from an educational standpoint.
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT.
The Watar Supply Units in the Island
of Saint Thomas were completed in De-
cember 1926 to the extent of available
funds. Each unit, complete ia itself,
consits of a reinforced concrete tank and
a paved area for the catchment of rain
fall, which is conducted into the tank for
storage. The four units constructed pro-
vides a total storage capacity 1000, 900
gallons, with -mmensu catchment
areas, and these four tanks are. at this
time, full of water. One unit, intended
to supply the central portion of the city.
was beyond the scope of the appropria-
tion and, therefore, could not be con-
structed. This water supply is intended
to be a reserve supply for periods of ex.
IRENE droughts, the water in storage to
be reserved for issue to the populace at
such periods to alleviate the hardship and
suffering which have previously existed

MAID SHORTAGE
HITS j. s.

The restricted immigration policy
Of the United States is making it.
self felt in the homes, especially the
homes OF the rich. 1t is creating
a shortage of household servants
that is reaching serious proportions.
Senator Edward I. Edwards of
New Jersey is authority for the
statement that many persons in
Washington and other large Ameri-
can cities have been forced to sell
or lease their homes and move into
apartments or hotels because they
were unable to obtain servants to
keep their houses in order. He lays
the responsibility directly to the
curtailment of immigration from
Europe, whence formerly came most
OF the laundresses, cooks, parlor
maids, buffers and other household
servants to those sections depending
upon white help.
Senator Edwards is lending his
support to a movement sponsored
by wealthy women of the fashionable
Long Island section of New York to
obtain a modification of the immi.
grafton restrictions as they apply
to the domestic servant classes.
The difficulty, it is claimed, does
not lie altogether in the fact that
fewer domestic servants are coming
over from Europe. Thousands Of
servants already in this country, it
is argued, have quit their household
jobs to go into factories to obtain
the higher wages and shorter hours
of factory work, because the immi.
grafton ban has cut down the flow
of fctory labor.

dam PROJECT
URGENT,
Former Head of Wat
or Users Back from
Washington

Defeat OF the Boulder Canyon Dam
project at the eeming session Of con-
sresss would seriously affect the eff
forts OF the United States to nego-
nate a treaty with Mexico for divi-
sion OF the waters of international
streams, was the opinion expressed
oy {. H. Pease, who was in Browns
Vile Monday.
Mt. Pease has spent the past wear
IN Washington in the interest Of the
Sw1ng-Johnson bill and has also de-
voted considerable time to other mat
ters IN which the Lower Rio Grande
Valley is interested.
4 am greatly pleased with the pro-
gress that has been made the past
year In securing action on the part
OF Mexico relative to division Of the
waters Of international streams" Mr..
Pease said. "And / am well satisfied
with present conditions in Washing
ton on all matters affecting the in
t%erests of the Valley. Great progress
mas been made the past year in
reaching a solution Of the water
problem, and l feel assured that the
next session Of congress will do
nothing that will j~eopardize the Kitu-
alton"
Mr.. Pease expressed the opinion
that there would be no meeting Of
n international commission on
equable use Of the waters Of i~nterna-
tional streams until after congress
convenes, and the appropriation for
that purpose, which was held up by
h senate filibuster at the close Of
b last session, is made available.
The international commission will
probably hold its first sessions in
the Lower Rio Grande Valley, he
stated, and will then proceed 10 the
Colorado and Tia Juana rivers in
California and Lower California.
Washington is as anxious to set
tie the question of International
streams a are. the people of the
Lower Rio Grande Valley" Mr..
Pease said. "A treaty with Mexico,
which will clearly define the rights
of both nations Ia international wat
ers, is deemed very necessary by
leaders in Washington who fully ap-
preciate the importance and relation
Of the water question to ag~ricultur-
al development on the border"
