MI. ANDUZE Mr.. President, should like to make
some remarks on Bill No. 1914 concerning the provision
relating to contractors.
This provision is intended only to clarity what the
the Legislature has always understood the law to mean
that contractors who bring in bricks. concrete, and
other materials, even # those materials are eventually
made a part Of a governmental project, must pay the
excise tax on them. That is the understanding OF all OF
us, IbeIeve. We are not changing the law; we are merely
clarifying it.

CHAMBER VERSUS GOVERNMENT


CHAMBER VERSUS GOVERNMENT
GREAT STOCK was placed by Jack Leach, Government
officer, in the attitude of the St, Crox Chamber Of Commerce,
and its consistent effort to tansgress on the authority OF the
Governor " This may not be entirely accurate. However,
there is more than meets the eye in this situation.
A NUMBER Of significant factors are present in this and
most situations, and they cannot be dismissed, or taken out OF
context. Most people, and particularly outsiders, are not
aware of what may be beneath the surface. They take things
for granted, without more.
THE QUESTION here is not the Harvey contract, but
what went before. It is one thing to tell people what is going
to take place. 1t is another to include them in all the steps lead
ing I'D to the elimination of the agreement, or the finished
product. If the people of ST. Croix are skepticaL there is some
justification. In the past examples have come by the score
which places this island in a position of having to go along with
what has already been decided. Once that mdercurrent OF mis-
trust exists, then the task Of dealing on a given plane becomes
much, much more difficult.
PAPER, on a number Of occasions, ventured forth
with a suggestion that there be local equivalent Of anadonal
resources planning commission. 1t need not be large, or power
full, orspectacuIar. But it would give a cross section of the en-
tire Island an opportunity to meet periodically with high gov
eminent officials and know what is taking place.
WHEN THIS whole Harvey matter came up-at the very
beginning group from the Government and the Chamber
of Commerce might have sat down together to study and ex-
change ideas. That would have put the Chamber in possession
of facts, and a feeling of being in on the ground floor.
NOTICING AGO this paper again went on record as sug-
costing a Virgin Islands Chamber of Commerce, and denounc.
ing the island-toisland pickering which SO often comes up.
Such a chamber would solve many problems.
WITHIN RECENT 2 the complaint has been
heard that ST. Croix was not getting its share OF publicity; that
flights to this island were inadequate often causing great II.
convenience to travellers, business and otherwise. These com
plants come up every now and again, and when they occur
in disturbing frequency, then the end result is a sense OF frus-

Parks Association Threatens
Suit over Bridge for UdoII

Rainbow Bridge. long recog-
mzed as one of natures most
beautiful and impressive pieces of
work. is again the center of aeon
troversy revolving around claims
of damage to the national monu-
ment due to the impounded waters
of the Lake Powell, to be formed
by the Glen Canyon Dam Project.
Opponents claim a protective bar
rier should be constructed to pro-
tect the Bridge from water damage
and possible destruction. Govern
ment engineers and the Interior
Department have denied that the
water would back up to the extent
of endangering the Bridge.
Now the National Parks Asso-
citation has threatened to sue Sec
rotary of the Interior Stewart Udall
if the dam fills Lake Powell so as
to back up into the Rainbow Bridge
National Monument. The Secretary
was unavailable for comment in re-
gard to this ultimatum before press
time.
Rainbow Bridge is greater than
any other natural bridge in size,
in color and in its almost perfect
symmetry. With a 278-foot span,
the bridge gracefully arches to
height of 300 feet--large enoughto
straddle the Capitol Building in
Washington, DC.
AT the top the bridge is thicker
than athree- STORY building (42feet)
and it is wide enough (33 feet) to
accommodate the average highway.
In 1909. John Wetherill, Dean
Bryon Cummings and w. B. Doug
las were the first white men to
view Rainbow Bridge.
The great natural wonder is an
example of the effect of stream
erosion. One geologic explanation
Navajo times. [volume] (Window Rock, Ariz.) 1960-1984, 1962-09-26

is that the arch was formed through
the penetrati by the stream of
the neck of an entrenched mean
der--oXbOW.
Many boaters have visited the
great red bridge by hiking six miles
up Forbidden (AZtec Creek and
Rainbow Bridge Canyons from the
Colorado River.
An alternate approach is by land
from Navajo Mountain which is
reached by unpaved roads leading
from US. 80 in Arizona or State
At in Utah. The overland trip by
horse or mule is IA miles each
way by trail, requiring at least
two or three days for the round
trip.
But all of this will be changed
soon. The unique sandstone wonder
will be readable by an easy walk
of less than two miles from anun-
usual National Park Service float
ing installation
The Park Service project is
offici ally defined as Rainbow
Bridge vicinity development, con-
struction of flo ating facilities,
Rainbow Bridge Development, Glen
Canyon Recreation Development. "
Rainbow Bridge National Monu-
ment was established in 1o1 O but it
is SO remote and isolated that only
handful of persons have seen this
worlds largest and most beauti-
fully -formed natural bridge.
But now with the waters of Lake
Powell backing up behind Glen Can
yon Dam, in a year or two visitors
will be able to get to the bridge
with relative ease.
Rainbow Bridge stands in the
semi-desert country of southeast
ern Utah in San Juan County, 1t is
one of the most remote inaccessi-
