Butterworth at Mecting Frank S. Butterworth, treasurer of the Connecticut department of the American Legion. and representatives of the legion from- Hartford, Bristol and Bridgeport appeared before the board and gave an exhaustive account of the manner in which the relief funds provided by the state are being distributed to necedy former service men. Searching ques by members of the hos instance planation made. rd and in each complete and detailed e of the point raised was Gov. Lake Speaks. Governor Lake opened the meeting by stating that considerable hostile criticism of the American Legion has reached the board of control regard- ing the way in which soldier funds are being distributed. v “We have not considered it part of the duty of the board of control to keep-a check on this work so far ' as individual cases are considered. But now the figures have increased to such an extent that we feel that some greater measure of care should bhe exercised,” said the governor, and “The reports which have reached us are unproved and stantiated and we do not knowledge of them. No Charges to Make. “We have no charges to make the contrary, we have a very friend- Iy feeling toward the Legion and its work. The desire of this board that no man shall be deprived of help because some meh have got it when they did not need it. “The figures now reported show that the interest on $12,000,000 or $15,000,000 will be needed to carry on the work. The expenditures are now running around $40,000 a month. The board simply wants to prevent any of this money from going to un- desirable cases.” Butterworth’s Request Granted. Following this, the representatives of the legion presented the case for the ex-service men so vigorously that the §$50,000 request of Mr. Butter- worth was granted. It is probable that the legion will ask the general assembly for a special appropriation for relief work as the funds available will not last until th& middle of May, when interest on the $2,500,000 fund falls due.
