nave received bids on proposals to make an air
port study of the Virgin Islands, and this survey is to be
completed within sixty days after acceptance Of the pro-
posal. The Federal Government has agreed on a three-to-
one matching basis to supply the Government OF the Viz
pin Islands with 100000 per year Ito be matched by
100000 from insular funds) for a period Of four years,
making a total of ~$1,6O0,000 for airport construction The
completion Of an airport program in the Virgin Islands
will increase our tourist trade, and we are hopeful that
the Civil Aeronautics Board will certify airlines for direct
flights from the Continent to the Virgin Islands.
During the fiscal year 1857 total of approximately
$1,600,OO0 will be available from Federal matching funds
for essential Public Projects. / believe that it would be
good Judgment to retain some Of these funds as a reserve
for emergency purposes. | believe, also, that we should
set up a reserve from our operating funds for emergency
purposes. In order that we may start in the right direc-
ton. / am hopeful that we can set aside a sum of 100000
during the next fiscal year for this purpose.
In accordance with the provisions Of the Revised Or
ganic Act Of the Virgin Islands, the double i-funds which
have been transferred from the Federal Government to
the Government of the Virgin Islands for the past two
years will cease June 80, 1856. Together with the Depart
ment Of the Interior, we are making every effort to have
the Congress extend the double j" funds for a period Of
two more years. Sue haction by the Congress will great

In Education, our problems are not unique in kind,
but rather in degree, pertaining chiefly to improving the
quality Of instruction, the provision for adequate school
plants and Institutional equipment. Significant advance
nent=has been MAIDEN the salary scale fer teachers, but
but the fact remains that some of the teachers, especially
in the elementary schools, lack the training comparable
to the minimum standards Of the school systems in the
United States. To overcome this deficiency, it IS impera-
tive that we concentrate on training these teachers Our
children should be given every opportunity received by
all other Americans.

Upon completion Of the two new school plants in ST.
Croix for which contracts will be awarded at an early
date, the school building program will have been tenn
porariIy completed in ST. Croix and st. John. With res
pect to high schools and rural schools in st. Thomas, the
program is in excellent condition. However, the urban
area Of st. Thomas is in urgent need Of three elementary
schools Of approximately twenty rooms each. trust that
it will not be too long before We can look forward to the
construction of these schools:
sound program in vocational education, comparable
to Continental standards for school systems, has gained
steadily in accomplishment and effectiveness. Although
this program is now limited to enrolment of secondary
students, we intend to extend this program to out-of-
school adults as soon as funds are available.
The Public Administration Service Of Chicago, Illinois
has Just completed a survey for a retirement plan for EN-
ployees of the Government Of the Virgin Islands. ( hope
to submit the plan, based upon their recommendation,
to the Legislature, and / am sure you will give this docu-
ment your close attention. / feel that we can discuss the
details in joint conference.
A Retirement Plan fuIfills a useful and constructive
public purpose. We have had two municipal retirement
systems, but they became imperative as a result Of gov.
eminent reorganization on January 10, 1855. My new pro-
posal for an Insular Retirement System will recognize
fully the years Of service earned and contributions made
under the two municipal systems.

~gislature:
AS you know, five of the eleven members in the Lee
gislature are members of Virgin Islands Unity Party.
Very often in the last year, we have been told that we
should scrap this Party and take over the Republicans
or the Democratic Party. The disadvantages Of a home
grown, local party have been emphasized and re-empha-
sized.
Of course, having a political party in the Virgin IS
lands, not affiliated with any Of the two major political
parties on the mainland, has some advantages too.
If we were Republicans under the last Administers
ton, for example, we would have had to keep silent in
the face Of the scandalous activities in that Adrninistra-
