Little Dennis rolled up in a bear
skin and slept by the fireplace that
night. He listened for the crying Of
the newborn child once in the night
and the feet of the father moving on
the dirt floor to help the mother

Dennis, fur you air the fust boy he's

And Dennis swung the baby back
and forth, keeping up a chatter about
how tickled he was to have a new
cousin to play with. The baby screwed
up the muscles Of its face and began
crying with no let-up.
Dennis turned to Betsy Sparrow,
handed her the baby. Aunt, take
him! He'll never come to much"

unit project in the city Of
Frederiksted, st. Croix during
the month Of September 1858.
This is scheduled to be COM
pleted and ready for occu-
pancy by October Of this year.
The working drawings and
specifications for a 300-unit
project on the island Of st,
Thomas have been completed,
and the Authority expects to
advertise for bids for the con-
struction Of this project with
in the next month.
The approval Of the Legisla-
ture has been obtained for the
sale to the Housing Authority
Of Approximately 10 acres of
land in the Richmond Area Of
the city Of Christiansted,
which site will be used for the
development of a 264-unit pub
lie housing project. The Archi-
tects are at the present time
preparing t h e preliminary
drawings for this new project.
With the completion of these
three new projects, the public
housing program in the Virgin
Islands will total 1904 units.
This number, however, is far
from being adequate when the
great need Of our people is
considered. For this reason
and because Of the fact that
there is no indication that III
vate enterprise can Of will pro
vide housing for families in
the low income bracket, the
housing agency is preparing ar
application for additional pub
lie housing.

In regard to urban renewal,
applications for planning

three applications for planning
assistance from the Federal
government have been pre-.
pared by the Authority. The
applications are for planning
funds for urban renewal pro
iects in the Barracks Yard
Area on the island Of st. Tho
mas, the Watergut Area in the
city Of Christiansted and a
small area known as the La
COON Street Area in the city of
Frederiksted. The total loan
and grant reservation being
requested from the Federal
government for these projects
is close to 100000. When APP
proval is obtained from the
Urban Renewal Administra-
ton for the preliminary plan
ming work for these projects,
Federal funds will be made
available to the Local Autho-
rity for defraying the cost Of
the work involved. The Legis-
Iature should be aware Of the
fact that final authority for the
clearance Of these blighted
areas will only be given by the
Federal government at such
time as workable Zoning and
Building laws have been adopt
ed, which would make the
growth of new and additional
slum areas an impossibility.
