SAND BEACHES BY FEDERAL PROJECT
When asked in a second AVIS interview. if he had
a specific suggestions to make regarding more public
Alfred BHaye made this statement
In regard to discussion in the AVIS about Pub
lie Beaches and the increasing need for them that viii
develop in future, there is a project thatythe Govern
ment could undertake.
This project could give US more than a mile Of
beautiful white sand beach. And this stares US in the
face every day. vet no public Official has discussed it.
"From the Urban Renewal area in Water Gut going
westward by the Hamilton Jackson and Ralph.de Char
bert projects, the old Hanson Hospital to Golden Rock,
there is more than a mile Of shore line which could
easily be covered and built into a beautiful beach using
pure, white coral sand which is just a few feet off shore
in Christiansted Harbor.
Il think a project along these lines would add ire
mendously to the welfare Of the people Of ST. Croix.
The location Of this beach is the best possible for the
ordinary citizen Of St. Croix because it puts the Federal
Housing Project right along side q multi-million-dollar
beach not in cost, but in value. It would cost tens Of
thousands to build it but it would be tens Of millions in
value.
with no Imagination it is seriously being consid-
cred ip St. Thomas that we build q concrete mill stone
around Christiansted Harbor-a highway that starts in
the wilderness and that ends in a bottleneck.
eve need to move traffic through Christiansted,
not just drop it on the downtown area. And, as is point
ed out, we need additional beaches, not concrete bulk
heads" he said as the interview ended.
because the question Of public access to beaches
is Of such serious nature, the AVIS encourages its read
ers to comment on this important subject0

Chamber Appeals For 2nd Trooper

Another appeal to Gov. Egan for assignment of an additional full time state trooper will be made by the Chamber of Commerce due to problems arising in policing of the naval base road. I
 Many reports of speeding and drunk driving have been received and the fear was voiced that the Navy will feel compelled to man the gates along the road unless bet ter policing is accomplished some how.
 The Navy itself, which has juris- diction over the highway and moved the gates to accommodate civilian traffic going through the base without annoyance, is putting two more patrols on the road.

Fishermen Hang Tough For.l Years Prices

Reports that "humpies" have shown up around various Kodiak Island bays has put added pressure upon fishermen and cannerymen to arrive at an agreement on salmon prices.
 Negotiations looked very prom ising last Friday and at one point 1t appeared that fishermen might be willing to sign a contract pro- viding for one cent per fish cut in last years price of pinks. An offer of 441a cents on pinks was made at one point during negoti- ations according to Lloyd Cannon, president of the United Fisher mems Marketing Association who said, q made clear that I would recommend acceptance of that price even though it was cut of one cent,' said Cannon who has since been out on his boat the Oceanic on an ADF&G charter.
 However the offer was suddenly withdrawn and I doubt that the boys would now consider any cut in price at all," Cannon said.
 Rumors have been circulating around the town to the effect that fishermen from the states may be trying to negotiate separate price settlement.
 Cannery negotiators were ex- pected in town today to resume price talks this weekend in the hope of obtaining a settlement by Monday. Cannon is expected to ar- rive back in town this afternoon.

Will Vet Groups Let Riddles Down On 4th Of July?

It looks as if Kodiak's kiddieS won't have much ofla 4th of July this year.
 The Chamber of Commerce yes terday announced that it had not received any replies from veterans organizations about putting on a 4th of July affair this year. Cham Der President Art Brooks said ne had written to the VFW, Amer ican Legion and FRA, and not one of them have indicated any inter- est.
 "The Chamber feels that the 4th of July celebration should be han dled by veterans organizations in- asmuch as the Chamber handles the King Crab Festival each year," Brooks said.
 Ray Martin, PIMA agent here, de- cried the possibility that there might not be 4th of July celebra- ton and stated it was his opinion that the children should not be a!- lowed to forget just what the 4th of July meant. "There should be fireworks, a parade, and the whole works complete with speaker" Martin said.
 The Chamber has ordered $750 worth of fireworks.

Proposed City
 Budget Presented

The city council last night re- ceived the city managers annual budget message and the estimates for the 1963-64 General Fund rev. enues and expenditures. The Wa ter, Sewer, Dock Funds and Capital Improvement budgets will be pre- sented at or prior to the June 27 council meeting. Following is the City Managers budget message:
 "The anticipated general fund revenues are $401 ,453, an increase of approximately $25,OOO over the anticipated 1962-63 budget. This is occasioned largely by an increase of $1O,5OO in State Raw Fish Tax refunds for two fiscal years (1962- 1963) which refund now embraces all fish products rather than only salmon; by sale of City real prop erty for approximately 5000, and an anticipated increase in Sales Tax collections of $9,OO0.
 "A reduction in revenues of $3,- 500 is anticipated in equipment rental to other funds.
 Taxes on real property has pro- duced an increase in revenue of only approximately $2, 300 over the previous fiscal year.
 "The General Fund expenditures reflect an increase of approximate ly S14,5OO over the previous fiscal year. This is brought about largely by the proposed addition of one patrolman and one jail guard to the police force.
 "The incidence of night time dis turbances and petty thievery in the downtown and small boat har- Dor area has reached the point where one patrolman is not suf- ficient to maintain control; there fore. it is desirable to add foot patrol in that area between the hours of pm. and 4 pm. When
