48 REPORT OF THE GOVERNOR OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS

St. Croix, the office of the district supervisor was completely reno-
vated, and repairs to the roof and water system of the warehouse
building were approaching completion.
 The two most troublesome problems which remain are reduction of
food waste, especially milk, and broadening the menu offerings. This
latter item depends upon providing more refrigerated space.


WORLD'S RECORD BLUE MARLIN was recently caught in Virgin Islands
waters. The 814-pound fish is being mounted and will be exhibited by the local
government at the Sportsmen's Show in New York City. In the past few years,
the offshore fishing in the Virgin Islands has brought to light an exciting new
area for this sport, abounding in marlin, sailfish, wahoo, tuna, and many other
game fish.
