This is a long run of the annual publication of the Ordinances and Subsidiary Legislation for St. Lucia. There was no title page for the volumes
until 1936, but title pages continued for the entire run after that. 1936 volumes and after were printed by the Government Printer at the Government
Printing Office in Castries. Each volume had a Table of Contents with a numerical list of Ordinances, a chronological list of Notices, the same for
Orders and Proclamations, a list of Rules and Regulations, a table of Laws Affected for Ordinances and another for Subsidiary Legislation. These Tables of
Laws Affected continued throughout the volumes. The text of the Ordinances came next, followed by an index. The text of Notices, Orders,
Proclamations, and Rules came next, with an index to these four parts. Topical indices disappeared in 1945. In 1967 and after, Acts and Ordinances were in the
volumes. The size of the volumes varied quite a bit. Some included illustrations such as street signs, maps, diagrams, or schedules of fees. Byelaws
having to do with the town of Castries occurred at intervals. In 1928-1929, Royal Orders appeared in the volumes. In 1936, the breakout for Notices
and Proclamations ceased; they were included in the Rules. In 1937, Pt. I referred to Ordinances and Pt. II to Statutory Rules and Orders. A Pt. III
was for Imperial publications, but this only appeared occasionally. In 1937 there was a major change in the administration of the Windward Islands.
In 1939 there was a sizable appendix of air and marine rules, as well as a ten page Emergency Powers for the Defence of the Realm. A War Tax
ordinance appeared at the end of 1940. All through WW II there were many ordinances about trading with the enemy, land tenure, agriculture, and travel, along
with rules for interacting with U.S. and French military personnel. In 1945, there was a list of war legislation, but no accompanying text; the
emergency powers were extended in 1946. In 1947 there was lots of turnover among senior British staff. In 1954 there was an interesting delegation of
powers by the new Queen because she was about to go on a world tour of the empire and needed to plan for contingencies. There was a big rework of the
Customs Act in 1967. In 1968 the image of the seal of the United Kingdom on the title page gave way to the seal of Saint Lucia. Court rules and court
administration issues appeared in nearly every volume. In 1969 there were over a hundred pages on Supreme Court rules, 60 pages on liquor production
and sale, quite a bit on banana production and sale, and a lot about the Caribbean Development Bank. In 1976 there were tables to determine the
specific gravity of worts of beer--the government wanted a quality product. In 1970 and 1978, there were 26 and 4 pages respectively missing from the
issues.
