Gov. Gordon's Message
To the Second Legislature
Of the Virgin Islands
Continued from Saturday.

A determined effort will be
made to correct the present UNI
satisfactory method of garbage
collection and disposal. The laws
and regulations are neither harsh
MOI unreasonable, and there is no
reason why they cannot be en-
forced. Nearly all our people r
law abiding, and when the autho-
rites indicate that the law will be
enforced without fear or favor, I
feel that the major cause Of the
trouble will be eliminated and
the people will cooperate fully.
The struggle to eliminate night
soil services goes on apace. The
city of Frederiksted has been all
most completely severed, and if
the Sanitary Code is enforced
night-soil service in this area
could be eliminated within a year.
Elimination of this disagreeable
service in Christiansted and Char
lotte Amalie will take a longer
Tine.
The st. Croix Port Authority IS
well along with its plans for the
construction Of a deep water pier
st Frederiksted, and during the
new fiscal year actual work OF
construction should be started.
Work of reconstructing the new
airport at st. Croix should be
started early in the fiscal year
and nearly completed by June
1859.
Every effort will be made to
improve wharfage facilities in
Christiansted, and the need for
dredging Of the st. Thomas harbor
will be pressed before the proper
authorities.
ST. Thomas Airport ] expect
to request an appropriation of
100000 as Matching Funds for
matching the $500, 900 available to
the Virgin Islands Government

DongerF From House Fly
BeIittIed by Researcher

illogical Sciences meeting at
Indiana University.
Flies lay their eggs in such
places as garbage, manure and
sewage. The maggots which
soon hatch carry tens of mil
lions of bacteria in their sys-
TENS. DR.. Greenberg said.
But by the time the larva
has formed its hard outer case,
it has rid itself of about go
per per cent of this bacterial
load.
When the fly finally emerges,
it. carries with it about 1000
baeteria-500 on its surface
and a similar number inter
nally.
While the fly undoubtedly
spreads some of these bacteria,
it is not as serious a carrier
as was earlier believed. Dr..
Greenberg said.

He is worried about the lack Of

possible solutions must be
found soon and put into effect
as he sees it:
/. Three separate water sup

Washington engineer district

would be best. "But somebody

is a hangover from the days
when there was the order to
man battle stations for torpedo
attacks and gun attacks.
The Nautilus, however, car
ries no deck guns.
The Nautilus skipper, 81
year-old William Anderson.
eased into his place in the at
tack center of the sub. We
were moving right along at over
20 knots, 800 feet below the
surface of the ocean.
The "ping ping :. ping
of the sonar echoed through
the attack center. On its green
face with the radiating sound
waves you could see the black
object that marked our target.
As sonarmen kept q constant
check on the surface ship. the
Nautilus eased into position be-
hind 1t, the most vulnerable
spot on a vessel if it is carrying
sonar, which enables it to look
through the water.
