FIRE DEPARTMENT.
There were no fires in the Islands of

eriksted town no fire occurred. In the
Country District Frederixsted there were
six cane fires the acreage burnt amount
ing to SAT, and the value of the cane lost
to about $3.50. 90. Five fires occurred in
the town of Christiansted while three cane
fires occurred in the Country District in
volving a total Of fifty acres and a loss of
about $470 90. 1t is regrettable that
neither in Saint Thomas nor in Saint
CroiX does there exist adequate equip.
ment for handling of major fires. 1t is
hoped that funds may be available in the
near future to provide additional equip.
ment for these departments.
ST. THOMAS HARBOR DEPARTMENT.
The fiscal year 1927 may be considered
a normal year for this Department. The
Harbor of Saint Thomas, the Islands
greatest asset. is operated by the Saint
Thomas HarbOr Board, OF which the Gov
ernOr is the Chairman. This institution
maintained its reputation as a Self-sup-
porting branch Of the Government of the
Virgin Islands and, in addition, assisted
financially in other worthy projects IN
dertaken by the government.
Four hundred and tWeutytnine vessels,
with a gross tonnage of LII, l63, visited
the port of Saint Thomas during the year.
During the previous year, 1926, 432 ves-
sells with a gross tonnage of /, 657, 213, en-
tered the harbor of Saint Thomas, while
during the fiscal year 1925. AS vessels
with a gross tonnage 1.472, PAP were re;
corded: 1t will be noted that there has
been little variation in the number of YES
sells which called at this port during the
past three years while the gross tonnage
has consistently increased. Approximate

during the year, while $40, 008. 90 was

The old dry dock which sank in the har-
