the code editors. This Committee included out
standing legal experts in the Virgin Islands,
several members Of the Legislature, and Judge
Albert B. Maris and DR.. Charles j. linn, both OF
whom had long experience in code revision work.
The Committee held four sessions at Govern
ment House. where it studied IN detail the sew
eral drafts of the code prepared by the editors.
A final draft OF the Virgin Islands Code,
based upon the local laws and ordinances in
force in the Virgin Islands has been approved by
the Advisory Committee, and forwarded to me
by the Secretary of the Interior.
1t is with genuine pleasure that ! transmit
herewith to the Legislature for enactment, pur-
suant to Section 8 Id of the Revised Organic Act
the final draft Of the Virgin Islands Code, to-
gether with my recommendations.
With this draft of the Virgin Islands Code, |
am also submitting several letters and a title
summary, all of which explain in greater detail
the work Of drafting the code and its contents.
l wish to point out that this code vas pre-
pared at Federal expense. Actually, a very COM
plete and exhaustive code, tailored to the institu-
ton and needs of the Virgin Islands, has been
prepared by experienced craftsmen in what
seems to me an amazingly short time-less than
two years-and at most reasonable cost. | am in
formed the Defense Department Code, passed
last month by congress-, required nine years ana
three million dollars.
This code is based upon our laws today, though
few of us know what these laws are. When enact
ed, this code, by its clear and understandable
language, and by reason of its ready availability

attract business to this community. In the years
ahead it will certainly encourage and foster a
greater prosperity for the Virgin Islands.
It would be impossible for anyone to study
in a short time and in detail the more than two
