Concluded from yesterday

The Committee wishes to point
out at this time, which is common
knowledge, that q large number
of people in any city or town
wherever located within reach OF
the sea are only too happy 70
avail themselves of some oppof-
tunity to be away from their I'M
mediate environment, the area OF
everyday living for the purpose OF
picnicing and recreatlonal IN
ioyment on some beach and area
suitable for that purpose.
In places outside the Virgin Is
lands this need has been fully re-
cognized by the Government,
and areas of this sort with ade-
ouate facilities are taken Tor
granted. Within recent years, the
Government of the Virgin Islands
has rightly made some efforts
with successful results to provide
the public with necessary recrea-
tional. opportunities of this sort,
but the rapidly advancing deve-
1opment of beach areas outside
the use Of the public by private
investments, although of lmpor-
lance to the economy of the IS
lands, may well preclude or
make difficult future acquisition
by the Government of beach
areas which ought to provide
needed recreational opportunities
for the public. The Committee
feels that steps should be taken
before it is too difficult or too
latae to provide such a public ne
cessity not only for the present
but the future as well.
In line with what the Govern
ment has already done, the Com
mittee refers to the we'll known
Cramer Park and beach in the far
Eastern section of st. Croix,
which is in constant use by the
public and in our sister island OF
ST. Thomas, the beautiful Ma
gems Bay Beach along with 40
acres of land are well known and
used for picnicing, swimming and
other forms of recreation, thanks
to the interest of the Government
and the generous assistance of the
late Arthur S. Fairchild who do
mated the propArty to the Govern
ment for public use.
Also, we find that in the Com
monwealth of Puerto Rico there
are no restrictions on the use OF
beaches, as all beaches r re-
served by the Government for
public use and enjoyment. Along
the entire seashore of the United
States proper, it is well known
that public beaches and recrea-
tional areas have been provided
by the Government wherever the
public need was apparent.
The Committee must need take
note of the fact that in the West

the use of decent and adequate
facilities of beach and area
where the public may spend an
hour or a day of recreation and
picnicing away from their homes.
Recommendations.
/. The Committee has deter
mined by unanimous agreement,
and hereby respectfully recon-
mends to the Governor, that a
site at Sandy Point, Frederiksted,
st. Croix, consisting of twenty
(2O) acres, including a beach front
of 2,160 feet in length, is most APP
propriately suited for the purpose
of a public recreational area and
beach, the delineation Of which
appears on the attached drawing
of the Department of Property
and Procurement, dated March
10, 1860, and described as follows:
Beginning at a point at the low
water line 1900 feet from the
Southwest Cape in a Northwest
direction, the line runs North rs
degrees As minutes East to a point
545 feet inland, thence turning
and running North 4 degrees Is
minutes East a distance of 1850
feet to a point at the low water
line, thence turning and running
along the low water line a dis
lance of 2,160 feet to the point of
beginning. The beach and area
consist of 20 acres all told, the
beach having q length of 2.160
feet, or a little less than half a
mile.
In other terms the beach and
area recommended may be said
to circle the Northwest corner Of
Sandy Point with about 1000 feet
of beach in the direction of South
west Cape and about 1,160 feet
of beach running Northeast in the
direction of Frederiksted. the en-
tire section of beach and area be-
ing contiguous.
2. The Committee further re-
commends that the shoreline road
leading from the outskirts OF
Frederiksted to Sandy Point is
the most economical and expedi-
tious means of travel to and from
the site recommended, and that
appropriate action be taken to re-
open this road to the public in
connection with the acquisition
of the area and beach herein
stated.
