THE FIRST LEGISLATURE OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS

FIRST SPECIAL SESSION
SO 1855
U R N 1
continued from yesterday

A third question has been presented to this Office Tor de-
termination concerning the expenditure of funds OF the le-
pislature's appropriation for the erection of an arch to be
used during the Carnival this year. 1t is our opinion that il
the legislature chooses to partake in a cTvic-wide venture
such. as the Carnival" it has a right to do so providing that
such participation would not be Of a political nature that
could in any way be construed to be partisan in any manner.
It is our understanding that in prior years the legislature has
always had this project and we find nothing in the law that
would prevent continuance of this type of project and the
cooperation Of the legislature in worthwhile civic endeavors.
ANY such expenditure would, of course, as stated before be
subject to the review of this office under Section II (c) Of the
Revised Organic Act which placed the responsibility on US
to bring to the attention of the proper administrative officer
failures to collect amounts due the government, and expend-
itures Of funds or property which in his opinion are extra
VACANT, excessive,unnecessary or irregular.

diseases so destructive to both men and animals" asserts one medical expert. In the US. alone, 1t has wiped out $87, 100000 worth of dairy products and veal calves in a single year, and afflicted more than 10000 persons.
 In addition, thousands of other brucellosis sufferers probably go undiaenosed annually, medical ex- perts point out, for the disease can mask itself under variety of symp- toms, ranging from general run down" feeling to personality disor- ders. It can even be confused with such diseases as typhoid fever. tuberculosis and malaria. Charac- teristically, the disease causes waves of fever which rise and fall over a period of months, and may prove fatal to it's victims.
 Now proving effective in treating brucellosis@particularly in its acute phase-is the antibiotie drug Terra mycin. Administered to patients in an investigation carried out i'll Gua- dalajara, Mexico, the drug produced prompt improvement in all the acutely ill patients, restoring their temperatures to normal within two to four days after treatment.
 Brucellosis can only be routed once and for all, however, medical experts assert, by wiping 1t out Tn animals. To achieve this goal, con- certed drive is now being launched in various parts of the world. In the US, rigid measures by veterinar- ians and public health officials have already resulted in 8 decline in the number of cases reported in recent years. With persistent effort, the day may soon come when brucellosis is one of those rarities that only a handful of oldtimers can remember.

"kind of Spotty,n because most
papers have been able to get by
with their supplies from regular
sources.
Publishing circles report that
there is no uniform pattern and
some dailies are finding it diff
cult to contract for compare
