Public Housing Adm.
tentatively Approves
Project Site

The Virgin Islands Housing and
acknowledgement Authority an
nounced yesterday that advice
has been received from the Pub
lie Housing Administration to the
effect that the Sugar Estate
Site" has been tentatively ap-
proved as the site for a proposed
300-unit project in the town OF
Charlotte Amalie. The letter OF
approval clearly states that ten
tative site approval" does not
obligate the Public Housing Adj
ministration to give final approval
if the combined estimated cost OF
site acquisition and improve
ments should exceed 20% of the
estimated Total Development
Cost, or if conditions should arise
which make the project unfeasi-
BILE. The Authority is now autho-
rized to prepare and submit for
approval of the Public Housing
Administration a Development
Program for this new project.
The area of the approved site
is approximately 1920 acres, on
which 16 3-storey, Z 2-storey and
% 1-storey, a total of 46 dwelling
buildings and a 1-storey Commu-
nifty Building will be constructed.
A central playground is proposed.
Alternate sites, including the
Barracks Yard Area, and the
"Bayne Valley" in Altoona were
also considered for this project. A
very special effort has been made
to determine the site best suited
to economy of development be-
cause of the relatively high con-
struction cost in t h e Virgin
Islands.

In the Best
Financial Condition

On June 80, 1857, for the first
time in several years, the govern
ment of the Virgin Islands closed
a fiscal year with a substantial
surplus in the treasury, and this
surplus was realized although for
several months the islands en-
joyed a tax holiday.
The exact figures were not re-
leased, but sufficient funds were
collected during the year to meet
all obligations, including the pay
ment of a loan of more than $780,
600 made from the Federal Match
ing Fund. Finance Commissioner
Percy De Jongh said that the
condition of the treasury was
such that for the first time in
years it was not necessary to bor-
row funds at the beginning of a
new fiscal year to meet current
obligations.
The big revenue year for the
islands government was the re-
suit of heavy increases in income
tax collections and customs dues.
Although trade tax collections
Jagged due to the tax holiday, the
revenues collections from income
tax and customs dues more than
made up for the deficit.
Collection procedures adopted
by t h e Finance Department
brought in the money more
speedily. Mr.. De Jongh said the
department found out that the
only way to collect money was to
keep after the taxpayers, and two
inspectors were assigned to al
most full-time duty dunning de-
llnquent taxpayers.
Department is Praised
Incidentally, a survey recently
conducted by an official of the
Dept. Of Interiors Budget and
Accounting Division h i 6 h y
praised the progress made by the
, local department of Finance since
the release of the last report OF
the General Accounting Office.
The progress made to date should
make the islands proud, the sur
vey stated.
One of the biggest complaints
against the government was its
slowness in paying bills. A sys-
tenn has now been established
under which any bill submitted
by a department to the Finance
Dept. is paid within three days.
Special vouchers are paid the
same day.
Because of increased response
bilities many Finance Dept. en-
ployees have been recommended
, 1957-08-06

for increases in salaries, but no
action on the recommendation
has been taken as yet by the Per-
sonnet Division.
