April 17 The Connecti Commerce, Hartford, eut Chamb cial report sent to the the General Assombly toduy legislators to practice cconomy in all expenditures urging them to consider all means of reducing the cost state government, makes several im- portant resommendations, the most important of which are that there no propri or need of the passage of any bonus bill; that the gasoline tax should not be disturbed; that the tax on towns should remain as it is; and that a single headed highway com- mission is more advantageous. Four Months of S . The report sent to the legislators is the result of a four months study on the part of the Committee on Survey of State IMinances of the State Cham- ber of Comm which made a sur-| vey of the finances of the State of Connecticut.

Ana s of the official nd documents filed with the sembly have been carefully d studied. The committee s appreciation for the co- operation and assistance rendered by Governor Templeton and Hon, John M. Wadhams, chairman of the state board of finance. TIn this connection it should be noted that of the nu- merous public documents examined, public document inaugural message of Governor Tem- pleton to the general assembly, and public document . 63, the fourth biennial report the state board of tinance, have received our purlh‘ulal'i attention and from which much valu-| able information derived | both for the general guidance of the | committee and for many of the fac upon which . at least, of this report is predica Financial Condition of State. The details of the financial condi- | tion of the state are given elsewhere, ! but, bricfly, the situation presented is| this: !

The Connecticut Chamber of Com- merce is urged to use whenever pos- sible every available agency to make the following recommendations ef- feetive, In stating these, the commit- tee takes occasion to reiterate either in whole or in part certain recom- mendations presented to you two vears ago by the committee on sur- vey of state finances. 1. The state and every agency within its control, should practice the strictest economy in all expenditures, and every effort he made to have our state, as such, live within its income, 2. Every state commission, insti- tution and board should keep strictly within the law creating them and limiting the scope of their activities. The determination of the scope of th work is, of course, one of state policy and it is urged that this be one of contraction and strict adher- ence to the original purpose of their creation, rather than one of expan- sion. 3. All state organizations of what- ever. nature should keep strictly with- priations granted them, and their dis- bursement: hould be limited only to those funds made available by the general assembly. 4. Instead of creating new boards | and commissions to take care of new matters, no matter how essentia these added duties should be place upon existing appropriate bodies. 5. The matter of the advisabilit of creating a three-headed highway commission or of adhering to the | existing practice of having a high- way commissioner in charge of the highway department was referred to this committee for consideration. After a thorough discussion of the merits of these proposals it was the opinion of the committec that a sin- gle-headed commission is the more advantageous for the following rea- sons: (a) such size that it has been proven that the territory and the work can be effectively covered by one man. (b) A three-headed commission would invite pressure for the favor- ing of particular localities, (c) Tt would inevitably and promote “log-rolling” placing of contracts. (d) It would tend to the independence and efficiency of high-grade engineer. () It would divide responsibility. 6.

The bill providing a honus of $10 a month to "residents of the state |who served in the army, navy or |marine corps of the United States | during the war," was discussed, and it was Voted, That it is the sense of the | committeo that the present state fund for the rellef of the veterans of the state of Connectiout in the late World War is a reasonable provision and | there is no propriety in or need of the passage of any bonus hil, 8. In the opinion of the committee the admissions tax should remain as now provided in the general statutes, 9, The same opinion was expressed |in connection with the tax on gasoline, |10, Tt has been brought to our a {tention that there is a tendency to- |ward the repeal or modification of the town tax, Tt is the opinion of the committee that this tax should remain as it s, | 11.-=The committee further recom- | mends that in view of the recurring | discussions concerning state grants [for educational purposes that a com- mission should be duly appointed by |the Connecticut Chamber of Com- I meree to study the subject of such | state grants and report their findings at a later date. 12, consideration to the appropriations {tor the administration and purposes lof the Connecticut Agricultural col- lege. For a more efficient analysis of [these questions, the matter was re- ferred to a subcommittee of this committee, of which Mr., Howell Cheney was chairman. The report of {the subcommittee has been adopted ‘and copies of it have been transmitted to the governor, to the members of the committees on education and ag- riculture of the gerieral assembly, and |to the trustees of the Connecticut Ag- ricultural college, This report is briefly summarized as follows: | We question the wisdom of extend- ing the dormitory facilities at the col- {lege until the practicability or not of the suggestion made in the report ot |the subcommittee have been thor- oughly tried out.
