Mr.. President and Honorable
Members of the Legislature
of the Virgin Islands:
/ take this opportunity to
greet you, each of you, per-
sonally, and to express the
wish that 1860 may be a year
of happiness and success for
you and your families as well
as a year of continued vigor-
GUS growth for our islands and
the beginning of a decade OF
peace for the world.
1t is my sincere believe that
each one of us, in our respec-
tive branches of Government,
can continue to make worth
while contributions to the
welfare of the Virgin Islands
and their people if we con-
tinue to work together, IN
harmony, and in understand
ing. Differences of opinion
are bound to arise as we move
forward. But these differ
ences may well be resolved by
a genuine desire to under
stand each other and a will -
promote always the best inter-
ests of the community.
I have convened this Second
Special Session of the Third
Legislature primarily to deal
with two most important mat
tiers, namely:
l. A major appropriation to
begin the extension of the
Harry S. Truman Airport in
st. Thomas, and
2. Amendments to the Com

Phone Tower
Plan Hit by
Trade Board

The c. and P. Telephone
Co. has run into opposition
from the Silver Spring
Board of Trade on the
utility's proposal to erect a
micro-wave tower on the roof
the its building in the heart
of the community's faSt-de-
veloping prestige financial dis
trict.
The project, including anten-
ma and a 20-foot square plat
form, would tower some 1873
feet above Georgia ave.
The board of trade directors,
through president William ].
Brannan, jr.. urged the tele-
phone company to withdraw its
application for a special excep-
ton to the coming ordinance for
permission to erect the tower.
The request went to Silver
Spring manager C. N. Graham
a week prior to scheduled hear
ings on the project.
The coming committee Of the
trade board had voted unani-
mously to protest the tower and
to urge the withdrawal of the
application. The action came
after the committee heard tele-
phone company representatives
on the plan.
Company spokesman said
two floors would be added to the
existing 35-foot building imme-
diately. This would mean that
a tower and antenna would ex-
tend 125 feet above the enlarged
building. The company said two
additional floors are to be added
at some future time.
The board of trades opposi-
ton was based on these major
points:
1. The project basically is Of
an industrial type and can and
should be put in an industrial
zone.
2. The tower would be an eye
sore and a blight on the commu-
nifty, the nearby commercial
area and adjoining residential
areas.
3. The tower would have a

Mayors and councils of the

agreement on their disapproval

time they discussed their
mutual development problems

from a suggestion by Rockville
City Coun C ilman Glen J..

of the Park and Planning Com
mission plan at a meeting of
the Rockville Chamber of Com
merce.
Conflict Is Charged
While agreeing that master
plans drawn up by planning
commissions of Rockville and
Gaithersburg were compatible,
officials of the two. cities con-
tended the park and planning
agency's proposals are in con-
flict with both plans.
Rockville authorities said they
had kept the planning agency's
staff advised of the progress of
the city's master plan, but as
serted the commission staff
failed to reciprocate" as the
Rockville Gaithersburg vicinity
plan was being developed.
Both councils objected strong
ly to the commission proposal
for light industrial coming of an
area of 1890 acres, to be estab-
lished as a buffer zone" be-
tween the two cities. Gathers
burg Mayor Merton F. Duvall
