GOVERNOR GoRDoNs MESSAGE TO THE
SECOND LEGISLATURE OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS
{ Continued from yesterday

8l6 Msha&
The Printing Office now has a
new Photostatic Machine. Mimeo-
graph Machine, an Electronic
Stencilling Machine and two (21
Printing Presses, which will great
~ increase its efficiency, and en-
able us to handle many of the
printing jobs now done in neigh
boring Puerto Rico and the CON
tinenta1 United States.
If authorization and funds by
way of initial investment are
made available for the Motor
Pool, it is believed that savings
can be effected in the operation
and maintenance of government
transportation costs, based on
studies of amounts now expended
10y the several departments of
government for such purposes.
AGRICULTURE AND LABOR
Division of Agriculture The
Experiment Station on the island
of st. Thomas has continued to
analyze the way in which the
small farmers, operating there, get
maximum yields from their food
crops. In addition to full time
technical assistance made avail
able, fresh vegetable seeds, insec-
ticides, fungicides, dusts, weed
killers, soil fumigants, poison
bats, vaccine for chickens and a
number of medicines were sold
to the farmers at relatively low
costs.
Two large cisterns Of some 24O,-
900 gallons capacity, damaged
extensively during the drought,
were repaired. Approximately ESQ
feet of new piping for irrigation
were installed, thereby opening
three additional acres for vege-
table farming at the Station.
Several months ago a 10 horse
power electric pump was pur-
chased and is now in the process
of being installed at a large spring
that will supply the Station with
approximately 10000 gallons Of
water daily.
On the island Of St. Croix, a
suond and workable agricultural
program now in its formative
stages, will be put into operation
, 1958-04-23

n the not too distant future.
Through such a program, the
citizenry of the Virgin Islands
will derive the maximum benefit
from the efforts of our local gov
eminent in the field of agricul-
ture; since a healthy and prosper
Gus agriculture contributes largely
to a stable and thriving economy.
Division of Labor : There was
one especially notable date in the
history of the Virgin Islands dur
the period now under review. 1t
was September |. 1857, the day
when the Virgin Islands Code
went into effect. Under this Code,
all laws concerning labor were
unified. thereby relaxing the diff
culties of Interpretation and mis-
understanding heretofore encoun-
tered. Specifically. the workers on
the island of St. Croix are now
receiving compensation benefits,
almost consistent with the main
tenance Of a modest standard of
living, as their counterpart on the
island Of st. Thomas enjoyed in
prior years.
The Division of Labor has con-
tinued to administer the Labor
Laws of the Virgin Islands effec-
lively. There were no significant
Developments during the period.
Even though employment was at
its peak in the Virgin Islands, the
considerable reduction in the
number and frequency of injuries
arising out Of and in the course
of employment is undoubtedly
attributable to the intensive pro-
gram of safety inspection, con-
Quoted by the Safety and Payroll
Inspector of the Department. This
is a significant contribution of our
Government to the promotion of
the general welfare Of its citizens.
The value of this contribution is
incalculable in terms of man
hours saved employers, aswell as
pain and suffering spared wage
carriers and their families.
Employer-employee relationship
was reasonably good throughout
the islands. This is attributable,
to a large extent, to the fact that
, 1958-04-23

prevailing wages paid in the va
rious categories are far in excess
CT the minimum rates prescribed
by law.
Office of Veterans Affairs The
Director of Veterans Affairs con-
tlnued to render the type of SER
vice needed by all veterans and
their dependents. In addition
thereto, a weekly program is be-
ing conducted over the radio for
the enlightenment~of all con-
cerned. During the period, many
problems regarding medical care
fol veterans have been solved or
n1inimized through the efforts of
the Director.
TOURISM AND TRADE
Tourism in the Virgin Islands
the past fiscal year broke
all previous records.
1t is estimated that the total
tourist revenue will amount to
$i5.O00,0 900 spent by 10000
visitors in all categories.
Among the outstanding events
and accomplishments made dur
ing the past year are:
The establishment of a Photo
grapher-W Writer to increase our
publicity and promotional activi-
ties insthis field.
The re-activation of the position
of MANAGER in our st. Croix Of
fee and the opening Of an Airport
Information Desk at the Alexan-
der Hamilton Airport.
The many groups of travel
AGENTS, under the sponsorship of
ASIA, Pan American. Eastern Air
Lines and VIM, P. Wolfe Organi-
cation that visited all these is
lands to gather first-hand infor-
nation on our tourist facilities,
Seventy-fve (75) cruise ships
visited the VIRGIN Islands. The
main goals for 1859 are:
Greater participation in travel
forums in order to meet growing
competition particularly from
Jamaica, Nassau and Haiti.
Reorganization and moderniza-
ton of our present Office facilities
to make them more attractive and
smoother operating.
Through cooperation with car
riers, hotels, etc., to increase
Summer and Fall business by
Joint promotional and advertising
campaigns.
MISCELLANEOUS ACTIVITIES
Personnel : The Pay Plan for
Government Personnel, Section
s51, Title 3, Virgin Islands Code,
should be amended. The present
plan is too restrictive and does
not provide for the regular incre-
mlents which are a necessary part
of every pay structure. The ma
jority Of employees of the Govern
ment of the Virgin Islands have
received no increment within
present assignment since April
1855. The Administration is pre-
nnrinn for submission 4 revised
, 1958-04-23

Agencies, and for other Purposes
believe that the passage of this
bill would be one Of the highlights
Of the 1853 Regular Session.
Real Property Assessment and
Recording The Division of Real
Property Assessment and Record
ing is currently engaged in a
general re-assessment Of values of
real property in the three islands.
It IS expected that with an IN
ward revision of values, an addi-
tional 100000 will be collected in
tax revenue for the coming fiscal
year.
This Division is urgently in
need Of comprehensive Tax Maps
which clearly locate and define
parcels of land and buildings.
The passage of time has not
been kind to our land records, and
the Recorder of Deeds is current
" engaged in a study to deter
mine the cost and feasibility of
microfilming the existing hand
written volumes, so that this vi
tally important information may
be preserved for p~osterity.
Tax Exemption Program In its
efforts to promote the general
economic welfare of the people
Of the Virgin Islands by providing
steady employment and to bolster
its economy. the Second Legisla-
ture enacted and the Governor
approved Act No 224 1Bill No
479) on July 5. 1857. This Act is
administered by the Tax Exemn-
ton Board Of the Virgin Islands.
The Tax Exemption BOARD is
now adequately constituted.
There are presently forty-one
(41) permanent tax-exemnted bust
ness in the Virgin Islands emnlov-
ING approximately 793 persons
In addition. there are thirtv-siy
1867 businesses which ire tenn
porarily exempted. emploving a
total of approximately 400 per-
sons. These businesses will be re-
investigated for the granting of
permanent exemption conditioned
Upon actual compliance with the
provisions of law within a stated
period.
Thirty claims amounting to
$598, 560.83 were rrocessed hv the
Tax Exemption Board, Of this
amount. the Finance Department
has audited and settled claims
amounting to $5O5, Sol. 83.

Nasser Meets
With FaisaI

CAIRO, Aug. Is (AP).-Pres-
ident NasSer and Saudi Arabia's
Premier, Crown Prince Faiss.l
went into another round Of
talks today.
There still was no official
statement on the nature Of the
meetings which began yester-
day. But unofficial reports say
the two leaders are patching up
relations between Saudi Arabia
and the United Arab Republic
The two countries grew cold
to each other last February after
the UAR accused King Saud,
FaisalS brother, of financing a
plot to kill Col. Nasser.
Faisal, considered now to be
the real ruler of Saudi Arabia,
arrived in Cairo yesterday and
went to see Col. Nasser. Today
there was a switch; Col. Nasser
went to Tahira Palace where
Faisal is staying.
Faisal'S arrival comes less
than two weeks after JAR War
Minister Abdel Hakim Amer
went to Saudi Arabia, for the
reported purpose of laying the
groundwork for uniting the
UAR and Saudi Arabia in some
kind of alliance or federation.
After today's conference
Faisal told Egyptian reporters,
These are brotherly talks" He
said, "all subjects interesting
Arabs in general and Saudi
Arabia and the UAR in par
ticular" had been discussed.
He refused to comment on
United States and other pro-
posals on the Middle East be-
fore the United Nations.
