But the price to prevent it is going to be high we going to have to realize that football scholarships and hundred thousand fans in stadiums the biggest consumption of liquor and cosmetics in the world; the drive for four day week and more of our luxuries little beside the point when there is possibility that lose the whole kit and kaboodle because are too occupied in bread and circuses

MESSAGES FROM TIE GOVERNOR
GOVERNMENT HOUSE
Charlotte Amalie
St Thomas
Virgin Islands Of the United States
May %, 1857

Charlotte Amalie
St. Thomas, Virgin Islands
My dear Mr.. President:
I am transmitting herewith, for consideration by the
Legislature, a proposed bill to authorize an appropriation
for the purpose of promoting and carrying out the land
and home development program of the Government OF the
Virgin Islands.
The Legislature, during its End Special Session, 1856.
passed Act No. 145 Bill No. $500. This Act was approved
by me on October 10, 1856. It provided for an a%ppropria-
ton of $500 for use in the making of necessary surveys
and subdivision plans, !" The work project was under
taken by the Public Works Department at a cost estimated
we'll within the amount appropriated. At that time GER
tain equipment was available to US at no cost. This situs-
ton materially changed when we were requested to mold
off by the U. S. Department OF Agriculture to permit them
to complete certain crop experimentation in the area. In
addition, the proposed plan of subdivision was submitted
to the FILA for review and their crltlque. During this
period the road program was activated and the equipment
was diverted to that project. This diversion created an ex-
pense for Bulldozer hire in the amount of $3.50. and truck
hire in the amount of $500.
The target date for completion Of this work is set for
July 81, 1857 with disposition scheduled to start soon
thereafter. Accordingly. it is requested that this bill be
acted upon by the Legislature during this session to permit
completion of the project.
