Assembly Prospects
If the Legisluture As
sembly which convenes
here on Ju'y 7 meets with
greater success than the
last session it would sur
prise even its most opti
mistic members. Only five
bills «n the 14-item agen
da were proposed by the
Governor, who called the
session. They include an
act to create an Economic
Development Adminisi ra
tion, and an act to compel
property « wners toconnect
to the public sewage sys
tems. Both of these mea
sures wer« defeated in the
Assembly several months
ago, and there is no indi
cation that members of the
Assembly w h o opposed
them have reversed their
position.
Most of the other nine
items on the agenda were
also considered during the
last Assembly session, but
either failed of passage or
met with xecutive disap
proval. -One of them, the!
the wage-hour act, which
attempts to bring the
wages paid in St. Crcix to
an equal level with the
wages paid in ~t. Thomas,
was vetoed by the Gover
nor mainly on the ground
that it would cost St.
Croix more money than it
could ever hope to find.
Unless th at objection,
‘which has not yet been re
futed, is ove come, it ap
pears to b a waste of
time to give further con
sideration to the bill. If the
money can be found all
the Assembly needs to do
1s to over-r.de the Gover-
The Home Journal
nor’s veto of the bill, in
stead of treating the pro
posal as a new one.
It is doubtful that any
bill on the agenda which
requires the two munici
palities to sharein the pay
ment of the expenses will
received favorable consid
eration. The act to create
a food production adminis
tration and the proposal to
set up an office of infor
mation in Washington are
already doomed, without
even considering other ob
jecticns which will be
raised. The rejection by
lSt. Croix of the 50-50 for-.
jmula of meeting the ex
(penses of the Tourist De
| velopment Board will, un
fortunately, result in
clashes whenever the sub
jectof sharing expenses for
insular activities is brought
up,and with present bitter
feeling on the subject, it
is doubtful that these se
rious difference can be
compromised.
