Told that the Commissioners
and the Board of Education are
giving them the brush off. .
Members of the Southeast Coun-
Gil of Citizens Associations will
seek official explanation why two
of. their principal projects have
received no action. Members
adopted resolutions to that effect
last night.
The council wrote District Of
ficials SOME time ago complaining
about lighting on Pennsylvania
avenue Sc. Last night a reply
was read from the District elec-
trical engineers Office. It con-
ceded the 'inadequacy" of the
lighting. It said consideration
would be given the request when
funds are available.

A delegate from Fort Davis
termed the letter "a polite brush
off" The question, in Sebastian
Riccobono's mind was: Have pro-
visions been made in the budget
for this improved lighting? If
not, why not? Let's brush aside
these generalities."
Equally distasteful to the coun-
Gil was a report by Mrs. Evelyn
Macintosh of Hillcrest Citizens
Association that hope is gone for

The sole dissent to the idea OF

from w. B. Castonguay of Randle

BALL-PARK MENACES
by Helen TraubeI
OPERA STAR

Then there's the fellow who gets carried
away by the games action to the extent of
making life physically unsafe for everyone
around him. I've seen these fellows pound
someone's back hard enough to induce a
sacroiliac condition. Generally, however,
I've found that the worst offender in this
department is the fellow whose team is los
ing l2-O in the ninth inning when two of his
heroes manage to put couple of scratch
infield singles back to back.
FEST No. a is the grandstand howler,
the fellow whose only pleasure at a ball
game consists in booing great stars. DiMag
may hit three home runs in one game, but
if he should strike out just once, this charac-
ter will heckle him and tell you that Joe
never was as good as his press clippings.
Another pest is the grandstand outfelder,
the fellow who wants souvenir of the game
so badly he charges after every ball hit into
the stands within 100 feet of him.
Finally there's the fellow who S so friendly
it's painful. He doesn't want you to miss
thing and by way of calling your attention
to matters he jabs his elbow in your ribs,
saying, "Ya see that?" Half the time he
shows you something going on in left field

DEAR MISS TRAUBEL: What do you
think of baseball fans manners?

DEAR MISS TRAUBEL: What do you
think of baseball fans manners?
ANSWER: To anyone who has ever called an
umpire thief at ball game and who
hasn't? = the words baseball and etiquette
are mutually exclusive terms. So before
anyone accuses me of trying to inhibit the
fans behavior, let me state right off that
am personally one of the most articulate
noisy and demonstrative wild fans who
ever went through turnstile.
Still. think there's great deal of differ
ence between the good, wholesome enthusi-
asm of most fans and the pest-like. anti
social behavior that seems to aff1ict small
minority of them. And you can bet felt
even more strongly when bought into the
St. Louis Browns last year.
Easily the worst of the pests in my book
is the gandstand manager. He's the fellow
who knows more than John McGraw. Con-
ME Mack and Casey Stengel put together
and never fails to second guess both the
players and managers at every occasion.
AN EASILY recognizable pest is the fellow
who comes to the ball game with portable
radio and then proceeds to tune in differ
ent game from the one you're trying to con-
centrate on. Usually you're watching

I have presented ~ this Legis-
lative Assembly drafts of seven
teen (17) bills for consideration at
this session. With your permission,
/ shall touch on the more impor-
tant of these legislative items. In
my opinion, the most important is
the Act to create the
Economic Development Admins
tration of the Virgin Islands
AS I have recently stated in a
radio address, there should be an
immediate realigment of the func-
tions Of agencies which are deal
ing with the economic advance
ment of the Virgin Islands. The
proposed bill provides for the
creation of a full-time Director of
Economic Rehabilitation to head
up a new Economic Development
Administration. We are proposing
the consolidation in this new
executive agency of all the func-
tions and duties of the Virgin
Islands Tourist Development
Board, which is now engaged in
the promotion of tourism; the St.
Thomas Development Authority,
which is now engaged in airport
management as well as promotion
of industry through the use of
abandoned military facilities; and
the two Tax Exemption Boards
which are also engaged in func-
tions involving the economic de-
Velopment of the islands. We are
convinced that the consolidation
of all these boards and commits
sions into a single executive agen-
cy would result in material
Improvement by effecting a CO.
ordination of policy, greater
efficiency in management, and
vigorous promotion of measures to
induce industries to come to the
Virgin Islands and to see that
they receive the proper encourage
ment and facilities. | most earnest
ly urge that serious and favorable
consideration be gwen to this
proposal,
l have also proposed a law to
authorize the Governor to
Reorganize the Municipal
Government
by investigating the present. or
ganization of all administrative
agencies and departments, includ-
ing boards S, commissions and
authorities. and to reorganize the
same, subject. to the approval of
the Municipal Councils of the Vr-
Pin Islands. With due respect to
80 GOOD work which has been
done by MANY of the members of
our boards and commissions, we
know that the administrative
board has repeatedly failed in
America. AS the techniques of adj
oinistration have become more
definite and generally recognized,
the board or commission has be-
come less useful for administra-
tive purposes.
If an advisory board is limited
to determination of policies, its
work NAV be beneficial. There are
few citizens who do not fee that
thov ran run the city or the
schools better than those profes-
SIGNALS who are in charge. An an
pointed administrator is often
embarrassed bv the insistent
assistance of one or more of his
advisory commissioners. When
boards confine themselves to adj
, 1951-10-29

vice, it may be helpful where cues
lions of public policy are involved.
Where problems of pubic policy
are not involved, the board has no
service to render. The same is true
of any activity demanding prompt
decision and action in its domi-
nant purpose. Boards of health,
once popular in American cities,
are on the Wane. The reason is
found in the fact that public
health principles are fairly well
established with their rules of
diplomatice public policy CORES
pondingly recognized. There are
some municipal activities, such as
tax and assessment appeals, plan
ming, .zoning, ETC., where the citi-
zen advisory board is a decided
advantage. Something may be
SAID in favor of boards for park
and recreation departments. Quasi
judicial or quasi-legislative com
missions have a possible useful
purpose. They are employed tc
advantage in formulating rules
and regulations for administrative
action. These are general princi.
pies which have been enunciatec
by experts in the field of public
administration.
I believe that a careful study O.
our municipal agencies will revea
the need for reorganization by
consolidation of functions, elimi
nation of duplicating functions
elimination of duplicating func
tions, and a definite and integral
ed fixing Of line policy for NOR
efficient management. I recon
mend that the bill to permit The
reorganization of administrative
agencies and departments be Civ
en- your most earnest considera
ton.
