1878 Prime Minister Walter M Gibson returned to his office on January 2, to catch up on some paperwork. On His desk was a document stating that the Locomotive had been delayed but should be shipped to the island in late January. This was the second delay. The Ministry of Military/Naval Affairs reported that the Armory had acquired the ability to produce ammunition for the Martin Henry Rifles. The Gatling guns had arrived from the US and were being checked out.
Work on several power projects were nearing completion. The Public Health authorities had dealt with a water contamination problem due to run off from a sugar processing plant.
The planting of some Oak trees seemed to be doing well. There had survived so far but experts would not know until some time in the future. The same held true of some pine trees. There the experts, with that the Prime Minister laughed and said aloud- Why do all these people keep referring to themselves as experts and then not want to give a definite answer to my questions- Enough.
With that the Prime Minister looked for the report from the Attorney General but could not find it. He then got up and went to the door and said to his Secretary- Louisa, did the report from the Attorney General come or is he late again?
With that Louisa gave him a look and sighed saying that the Attorney General was away on Vacation and had sent a note before leaving that the report would be late. The Police Commissioner would however, be in his office latter that morning to give him an update.
The Prime Minister thanked her and told her to let him know when the Commissioner arrives.
