Message u the
Third Legislature
Continued from Saturday,
IN the matter Of vital air
port and harbor improve
ments, we recently accepted a
grant offer Of $1,000, 500 from
the Federal Aviation Agency
for the construction Of a mod
ern terminal and airport on
the island Of st. Croix. The
contract has been awarded.
St. Croix, therefore, is now as
sured Of adequate and modern
airport facilities.
AS to the airport in Saint
Thomas, you and / already
know the access and space
problems connected with any
possible major enlargement Of
the landing strip here. It IS for
that reason that q contract was
awarded a few months ago for
an engineering survey Of an
other possible site for q mod
ern airstrip in ST. Thomas. The
survey is now in progress and
when the report with recon-
mendations IS available, we
shall have the facts before US
and we shall be able to make
an intelligent determination Of
the action to be taken to pro-
vide modern airport facilities

Frederiksted. The final engi-
neering plans have been COM
pleted and approved, I shall
present more to you on this
subject during the session.
The project for dredging the
narbor Of st. Thomas, original
~ authorized BY the Congress
in 1897, has been revived and.
considerable interest has been
indicated by business leaders
Of the island. The Governors
Office is now engaged in bring
ing up to date the facts, infor-
nation and statistics which
were compiled in 1887 to justi-
~ the project, and il is hoped
that Congress will make an
appropriation to authorize q
new survey.
In regard to a modern COM
munication system, 1 believe
that you will agree with me
that the only way in which we
can have 4 new telephone sys-
tenn throughout the islands is
by sale Of the present out
moded system to private in
terests and the granting Of a
franchise for private develop
ment and operation. Acting in
conformity with the authori-
zation given the Governor BY
the Legislature last year to
advertise for sale the present
system, ! survey was under-
taken BY experts Of the Depart
ment of the Interior with the
assistance Of the Rural Elec-
Iritication Administration: This

In Area Road Jobs

A total of about So billion
in interstate highway system
construction contracts now
have been awarded, with more
than SIT million for projects
in the District, Maryland and
Virginia, it was reported
yesterday.
These figures cover actual
construction along with
awarded contracts authorized
since July, 1856, when Congress
approved the 40,000-mile sys-
tenn, through the end of last
month.
According to a report from
the Bureau of Public Roads, the
total national figure was S2.9
billion, representing 1881 miles
OF highway work.
For Washington and the two
neighboring States, the total
was SITS million, covering
1919 miles.

The figures reported for the

81 miles of highway work.
In the city, construction is
underway on sections of the
Southwest freeway, the Ana
costa freeway and the Wash
ing Ton Channel bridge. Con-
tracts have been awarded for
the Theodore Roosevelt Bridge
and the new southbound Four
teenth street bridge.
The total cost reported for
Virginia was S73.9 million, COW
ering ia miles, and for Mary
land, $l9.7 million for IA miles.
Maryland officials pointed
out that the figures for their
State did not include a liable
amount of major highway work
which was authorized before

the report.

OH-Avenue Structure
Up for Legal Ruling

The Districts chief legal off
Ger has been asked to specify
the area along downtown Penn
Sylvania avenue where the Fed
eral Fine Arts Commission has
authority over the appearance
OF private buildings.
The question is whether the
commissions review authority
on construction permits ex-
tends to the commercial build
ingS which face Federal struc-
lures but are not actually on
Pennsylvania avenue.
Under the 1880 Shipstead-
Luce Act, the Federal commits
sion has review authority on
applications for construction or
alteration of buildings that face
Federal structures or grounds.
Included is the section of Penn
sylvania avenue from the Cap
ltol to the White House.
Several Recent Cases
The Commissioners have
asked Corporation Counsel
Chester H. Gray for an opinion
on whether the Federal COM
missions review power covers
commercial buildings which
face the Government structures
but do not have a Pennsyl-
vania avenue address. The le-
gal opinion was asked at the
request of the Department OF
Licenses and Inspections.
This point has been raised in
several recent building cases.
One was the Federal commits
sion's disapproval of a sign
put up by the Albert Dance
Studios, occupying a building
on the northwest corner of
Thirteenth and E streets NV.
The sign is on the Thirteenth
street side of the building. The
Federal agency's position, how
ever, was that it had review
authority with the E street

ing in the next fiscal year. This
is more than is per cent over
the current years $205 million
budget. In addition, the Gov
ernor has said he would support
teacher and State employe pay
raises costing nearly 81 million.
The $235 million figure does
not include budgets for opera
tions financed with special
funds (such as the motor fuel
taxi or Federal money. Budgets
for these operations, such as
the road building program, will
run the overall State budget to
the neighborhood of $3.50 mil
lion.
Very Healthy Treasury
State Comptroller Louis L.
Goldstein said yesterday the
States financial condition looks
very healthy" for the current
and next fiscal years, but he
was less optimistic about the
following year.
That's why the Governor
wants to hold onto a good por-
ton of the surplus expected to
be in the treasury at the end of
the current fiscal year, June 80,
1860.
Budget experts have pre-
dicted the State will have a
$20.3 million surplus in the
general fund on June 30.
The surplus, added to next
years general fund revenues,
estimated at $222.6 million.
could give the Governor
enough money to support a
budget of about $243 million.
But the budget the Governor
will submit to the General AS
sembly in February no doubt
will be considerbly lower than
that sum.
Mr.. GoldStein said yesterday
it looks as though part of the
surplus will be used to meet
some of the operating costs in
the next fiscal year.

side of the building facing"
Pennsylvania across a strip of
park land.
The studio owner is appeal
ing the decision, based mainly
on an objection to the sign
sticking out beyond the build
ing line.
The case went before the
District Board of Appeals and
Review. It's hearing officer,
Charles w. Hart, advised the
board there is a conflict
between the wording of the
Shipstead-Luce Act and an
official map drawn to illustrate
the areas covered by the
statute.
Mr.. Hart said that, under the
wording of the act, the Federal
commission has no authority
over the studios case or over
the appearance of other build
ings in comparable locations
along Pennsylvania avenue. He
added, however, that the official
map boundary jogs at several
points along the avenue to take
in these buildings.
Map Change in Question
In addition to the Commits
sioners' request to the Corpora
ton Counsel to spell out
whether these off-PennSylvania
avenue buildings fall under the
Federal agency's authority, Of
ficials repeatedly also are
studying the question of how to
amend the map. The question
is whether the Commissioners
and the National Capital Plan
ming Commission can change
the boundaries or whether leg
islation is needed.
Under the ShipStead-Luce
Act, the District Commissioners
are required to effect reason
able compliance" with the rec
concentrations by the Federal
FlRf Arts Commission.
