PRESS RELEASE
FIRST PLANNING GRANT APPROVED FOR
- 1850 ~ ! nYnr -
THE VIRGIN ISLANDS

HE VIRGIN ISLANDS
The Virgin Islands Planning Board will receive its first ur-
ban planning grant, $l13,875, approved by Urban Renewal
Commissioner William Slayton, to begin preparation OF COM
prehensive plans for the growth and development Of its three
major islands-Saint Thomas, Saint Croix, and Saint John
it was announced by HHFA Regional Administrator Eliseo @
Font. ......
The Virgin Islands Planning Board, established in 1850,
was responsible for preparing initial master plans for St. Tho
mas and st. Croix islands in 1854 and 1856. More recently
Virgin Islands Legislature adopted basic coming and subdivi-
sion regulations. 1860 population for the three islands was
1904, of which approximately 10000 are in the three urban
centers Of Charlotte Amalie Q2,47O, Christiansted Slid, and
Frederiksted (2,17A. .
The Federal grant, supplemented by l~ocalfunds, will cover
the cost Of the following planning work: studies of population,
economic base, land use, and community facilities; preparation
of base maps; development Of plans showing the general loca-
ton, type, and extent of major land uses, transportation
routes and facilities, and community facilities for each island.
Work is scheduled to be completed in two years. The re-
suits will be presented in the form Of reports, maps, plans,
charts, and other graphic material.
Over the past decade there has been a considerable in
crease in the Virgin Islands economic activity which has been
almost entirely due to the growth Of touriSm- Since there has
been no comparable increase in the agricultural and indus
trial sectors of the islands economy, the approved planning
activities will point toward a more diversified economy.
The grant was approved under the urban planning assis-
lance program authorized by Section FOL of the Housing Act
of 1854, as amended. Grants may not exceed tWo-thlrds Of
the cost of the work for which they are made, except IN GER
tain officially designated redevelopment areas, as defined
Section 5(a) Of the Area Redevelopment Act. In such areas
grants may be threefourths of the cost of the work State and
local funds make up the remainder in both cases.
Section FOL provides funds to official planning agencies
and other public bodies for planning work, including trans
portation studies, in communities and counties of less than
$4,000 population, and in Estates, metropolitan areas, urban re-
gions, disaster areas, and areas experiencing accelerated grow
I'll because of Federal installations; also in the eligible cities
and counties in officially designated redevelopnent areas.

living index higher than anywhere in the United States
today, where we find that our housewives go to the mar
ket or the grocery and they pay one price for a com
modify in one grocery, they pay a higher price IN another
grocery for the same commodity; when we find that our
people have to pay a dollar for a New York Times that
they can get for twenty-five cents in New York lin 81.
lCroix even, they can pay go or 65 cents; when we find
that food prices on the whole are extremely high in the
Virgin Islands, you wonder how the poor working man
can afford to pay these prices and MAINTAIN a aec-ncWay
OF life IN our onnmunit When you consider the wages
mat our people receive, when you compare the mini
l.luln wage here with the minimum wage in the United States
we are at a complete loss to understand how our people are
ailymeeting these high prices Mood,
Now the next thing that comes to my mind, Mr.
President, is what can we do about it? know you real
ize, MI. President, that we have had on our statute Doona
Tor years lit you look in our Code under Title IL, Section
Y9l you would see that we have provisions here a price
control law that goes into investigation of prices, set
ing prices and quantities for sale, restricting eXporta-
ton to privide for local consumption publication, and
a whole number Of provisions that would enable us to
control the prices of food here in the Virgin Islands. In
the past, / believe that we have not done as much as we
could have regarding the implementaton Of this partic-
ular statute, and | think the time is ripe in the interest
of the rest of the people of these Islands that we do some
thing about ~implementing these laws; that we recon-
mend to the administration that they actually nipple
ment the price control law, and that we as a legislative
Loay, appropriate the necessary money to make this
OAhA6 - 00b G0 fAA%So $3.50 ~ SANN~0 OAA ~
that a man can maintain a decent standard Of living on
the small wage that he is earning today.
Mr.. President, I would ike to pass on TO anothel
matter. / also notice in the Governors talk yesterday,
lie mace menuons or the civil Rights Law. re spohu
aoouJ the responsibilities in the Government ecretary's
Office regarding the licensing Of these places and SO form.
But, Mr.. President, / also recall that last June Of this
year, we passed a bill No. 1888, amending the Code re
1ating to the Civil Rights Act. And section Of this bill
stated that the Commission OF Public Safety shall nane
a panel OF police officers to make periodic investigations
at reasonable times of all places holding licenses to see
That the provisions Of this bill are complied with. Mr..
President, | understand that up to this moment no such
panel has been selected, and would also urge this Body
to communicate with the Commissioner of Public Safety
or have him come before us, and find out just what he's
doing about selecting and organizing this panel which
can go into these business places and see what is happen
ing regarding the enforcement of this Civil Rights Act.
! think this Act is important enough that we continue to
see that the Commissioner of Public Safety stay on the
job.

ated by the Legislature could have been disposed OF with
out the knowledge of the Legislature. Now, probably,
and since it might have been for the last year, / know
that appropriations have been passed over for the same
department from one item to another. But / did not know
that such a large amount could have been disposed OF
sse1, that is water over the dam, it seems.
But what I'm asking for now, is for cooperation OF
L the members Of the Legislature; it doesn't matter
what party utilization the member might have, | would
Ike all members to jointogether and see II 1t ism posi-
Bile to come up with a home for the aged. Things are
very bad with these old people. Some Of them receive
money from the Social Welfare Department, but they
do not get full benefit from that money. Many OF them
are shutins. / can tell you there are some Of them blind,
deaf, closed up in a room day in and day out and week
in and week out. Except for a short visit from a visiting
nurse, those people really suffer. Some OF them have no
relatives to come and give them food. This money that
they are getting-I really don't know how it is spent.
To me it is wasted because the people themselves don't
get the full benefit of it because they have no connec-
tons that might spend this money for them, And at this
time, I know and / feel that all the gentlemen of this
Body will assist and will be very firm about having some
money put aside for this project. Thank you.
Mr.. OTTLEY: Mr.. President.
THE PRESIDENTS: Senator Ottley.
MR.. OTTLEY: Mr.. President, think that all of Us
Will agree that one thing we have lot OF here IN the
Virgin Islands are cars. The Government has more Of
tlem than any agency or entity. | recall here at the last
session, Mr.. Chairman, we had the Commissioner OF
Public Safety before us and he had a proposal to pur-
chase about ten new cars-six for ST. Thomas and four
Tor st. Croix. We asked him what he would do with those
four or five wagons he has here, which he had bought JUST
ayear and a half ago. And he said to us that since he was
getting in these six new cars, he would sell out as surplus
these tour or six wagons he has here in st. Thomas, To
my surprise those wagons are still being operated by the
department of Public Safety.
Now | see here on page So of the budget document
that the Commissioner is asking for six more cars, and that the
Governor has authorized an appropriation for six more
cars. l want to serve notice here, Mr.. Chairman, that !
am not going to vote one cent for a single car for the
Government of the Virgin Islands for the nscal year 1868
j lnlnk we have too many cars.

Employers Required to
Report Wages for
Miqrant Farm Workers

A farm worker who works for
several different employers would
have no social security protection
if his employers did not report
his wages, Gardner said. Benefits
could not be paid to him on re-
tirement or disability, or to his
survivors in the event of death.
Workers who move with the
harvesting seasons are covered by
the same social security law that
applies to other farm workers. he
said. They must be reported and
the social security tax must be
paid on their wages if the work.
er is paid $3.50 or more in a year
or if the farm hand works for 20
or more days in a year for the
farm employer.
Since farm employers report for
social security on their employees
only at the end of the year, il
is important that the employer
make a record for each employee,
his correct social security num-
Der and the amount of his wages,
Gardner explained. At the end of
the year the report is filed with
the District Office of the Internal
Revenue Service on Form 943.
The employees social security tax
should be deducted at the time
wages are paid and then matched
by the employers contributions.
For further information on your
social security call ON your rep
resentative, Ray Jelle when he is
in Siney. He will be at the Court
house on Thursday, August IL
from 9 a. m. to 2 ID. m.
