L.
AMer-

Chairman,
F.
Coulter,
.Viez-Chair-
man and D.
C.
Canegata,
Secretary,
to
formulate
and present
to you
the opinion
and
desires
of the Council
and
to
memo-
rialize your Commission
upon
the follow-
lowing points
which
they consider
of vi-
tal
interest
and
importance
‘for the
is-
land’s benefit and future we'fare.
WHS*we
f&]| that
the civil
ad-
minisiration
under
the Navy Department
and acceording
toour form er Colonial Law
has been
conducive
to
our
best
interests
and
welfare and
we
are
o*
the
opinion
that
such
a system
should
be
continued
in the future;
the
Colonial Council
begs
to recommend
that
no change
be made
in
the
administration
of
the
Government
of the islands
at
present.
At
the
sane
time
we
.would
not fail
to
suggest
that
the Gov-rnor resumes
the
former
prac-
tice of residing
:ix months
of the vear
n
this
municipality
with
the
object
that
the Governor
may become
more intimate-
ly in touch
and
better
acquainted
wiih
what is necessary,
expedient
and
advis
able for the good and
beneficent
govern-
ment of our
island
and its inhabitants.
The
Colonial
Council
1s
firmly
of
the
~pinion that
in order
(o
=affect*material
and desirable
improvemen:s
in the
Idu-
cational
and
Sanitation
sysiem
as
well
as
to provide
b tter
roads
and
highwa:
s
in
tife islandsa
sum
of
abow
$500.000
yearly for the next
five years
would
be
nécessary,
and
as such
an
amount
wou.d
be
entirely
beyond
our
means
and
re-
sources
we sincerely
hope
and
are
eon-
vinced
that the
parent
nation
will grant
the
mnecessary
and sufficient
means
that
will be
more in keeping
with the
idea.s
of life in the great
American Republic.
We there
ore beg
that Congress
be
ajp-
proached
to approoriate
sufficient funds
for the
furtherance
of
our
desires
and
ideals
in connection
rherewith.
Our
Educational
system
is fapsbeiow
the standard
it should
be and
a requisite
educatioral
system
beirg
beyond
our
f{i-
nancial
means,
we beg to urge that every
effort
be made
for
an
improvement
in
this direction
which will be
to
the
eredit
of
Qur great
nation.
'l?h'wugh
much
has
been
dcne
tewards
sanitation
and
the public health since
the
transfer,
yet
much
more
is
necessary
and
more remains
o be done
and
is
ad-
visable
with
a
humanitarian
object
in
vRw and
the complete
sanitation
of
this
island.
While
on this
subject
the Coun-
cil would not fail to
draw
the
Commis-
sion’s attention
to the need
of better
hos-
pital facilities in
the town
of Christian-
sted.
.
.
Sewerage
has in the
past received
no
attention
to the danger of public
health.
Our
Sanitation
Officials
have
been
en-
deavoring
to remedy
this condition.
bLut
with- the
small
means
at
our
disposal
they necessarily
have been
unable
to
ze-
complish
much.
