sent unsatisfactory method of garbage collection and dis
posal. The laws and regulations are neither harsh nor
unreasonable, and there IS no reason why they cannot be
enforced. Nearly all our people are law abiding, and when
the authorities indicate that the law will be enforced
without fear or favor, 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 almost com
pleteIy severed, and if the Sanitary Codeis enforcednight-
soil service in this area could be eliminated within q
year. Elimination of this disagreeable service in Christian
sted and Charlotte Amale will take a longer time.
The ST. Croix Port Authority is we'll along with its
plans for the construction of a deep water pier at Fred
eriksted, 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 COM
1pleted by June 1859.
Every effort will be made to improve wharfage faci-
hties in Christiansted, and the need for dredging OF the
ST. Thomas harbor will be pressed before the proper
authorities.
ST. Thomas Airport ! I expect to request an appropria-
ton Of 100000 as Matching Funds for matching the $780,
600 available to the Virgin Islands Government from the
Civil Aeronautics Administration for Airport purposes.
1T is expected that the 100000 available from this
source will be expended en- tie ST. Thomas Airport pro-
vided the CAA will anprove the use Of larger planes on
the improved runway. In any event we should be IN a posi-
ton to claim the 100000 from the CAA for the Fiscal
Year 1859.
Essential Public Works Programs An orderly ana care
fully planned program developed under the able guidance
or Coordinator William T.. Seeley, has resulted in rapid
progress in the field of community development under the
double IL program.
More projects are in final planning stages pr actually
in progress than ever before.
ten-year public Improvement program OF far-reach-
ing significance has been developed within the scope of
future financial ability. This is probably one Of the most
worthwhile developments in the public works field in the
history of the Territory and will dosmuch to promote a
healthy economic future for the islands.

Under Construction and Maintenance. an extensive
road program was started, bothin st. Croix and ST. John.
Main highways in st. Croix are being rebuilt, and the
work On the Scenic Drive has gene on apace. In ST. John
aroad passable to jeeps has been opened to the Eastern
end Of the Island. The Northside road from Cancel Bay
to Maho Bay has been opened to ~vehicllar traffic, and the
road to Johns Folly is about half completed. In st. Tho
mas the existing road system has been maintained, but
little major work has been accomplished due to. lack Of
appropriations.
Public Buildings have been maintained where posi-

a regards night-soil service, the old dump outside.
Frederiksted will soon be removed from Federal property
and relocated elsewhere. The dumping of night-sol in
Christiansted harbor will also be discontinued and trans
ferred to the new site.
New sewage pumps have been ordered for lift sta
tons in st. Thomas, and their installation should be COM.
pleted within a reasonable time.
Under Water Supply, which covers both Potable
Water and Salt Water for sanitary flushing and fire pro-
lection, our worst problem has been the maintenance OF a
satisfactory supply Of potable water. The drought, one Of
the worst on record, has made it necessary to haul mil
lions of gallons of water from Puerto Rico by our own,
as we'll as chartered barges. It is with pride that we can
report that while in January 1857, there were less than
one million gallons Of potable water in storage, in Janu-
airy 1853, there was over seven million gallons in storage.
Work of repairing ~catchments and tanks has started. The
Salt Water System has functioned fairly well, and new
pumps have been ordered to replace Worr-out equipment.
Utility Services have been maintained, the Harbor
Services reorganized, and the Signal Station reacivated.
Satisfactory electrical services to st. John have been
installed by the Virgin Islands Corporation Power Divi-
sion, and telephone communication on a limited scale
made available.
1853 Program The program of Public Works for the
coming fiscal year will be concentrated under four head
ings. namely, Construction and Maintenance, Sanitation
and Sewage Disposal Water Supply and Utilities.
In connection with the coming year's.program a sup
elemental budget was submitted in which were outlined
the items Of major improvements contemplated for next
year, but the cost of which exceeded the anticipated APP
preparation for the general operational budget for the
Department.
The recommendations made in this supplementary
budget have been incorporated in part into the contera-
plated 10-year program for Gid monies.
"A vast amount of work still needs to be done in all
three islands to bring the standard of facilities and utili-
ties up to date. Miles Of improved highways and streets
have to be built. Thousands Of feet of sewers, water lines

Traffic The traffic problems throughout the Virgin Is
lands, and particularly st. Thomas, are causing the De-
partnentS great concern due to the everincreasing num-
Der. of motor vehicles being brought into the island.
"a recent survey made by the Acting Commissioner of
Public Safety reveals that during the rush hours Of the
day pedestrians are exposed to unsafe conditions when
crossing streets. AK a result, the Department has instituted
Il program Of creating Gross Walks"
Communications : For many years the need has been felt
for better communication throughout the Vir Islands
linking the various divisions of the. Department Of Public
Safety on each island. AT the present. time most Of our
motor cars are equipped with twoaway radios. This has
resulted in our ability to communicate within each island
and throughout the Virgin Islands under favorable con-
Editions.

most inspiring.
The long nights of sitting in
meetings have been trying, but
have exposed me to obligations
hat demanded my best, and
made me part of decisions that
have taxed all my resources to
the uttermost. So the toll has
been good, and good for me.
Somehow in the passing of the
years, the contacts with fellow
workers and citizens have added
new dimensions of understand
ing to me. The largeness Of the
task has humbled me and made
me lose myself in it; but I
emerged with new meanings for
pronouns like "our," "us" and
i've"
The sacrifices have rescued
me from much of the smallness
and prejudice which affect little
minds.
The work has not done vio-
lence to my religious convic-
tions, but has added depth and
practicalness to my faith in
God.
I take leave of the Office with
some pangs of sorrow, but |
