HURLEY A PESSIMIST ON' FUEL OUTLOOK Sitnation Will Be as Bad Next Winter as Last, He Says The fuel situation in the New Eng- land states and particularly in Conn- ,, ecticut will be as bad next fall, if not worse than it was this past winter, Robert T. Hurley, superintendent of the state police department, told the members of the New RBritain Lions club at the regular meeting held this noon at the Elks club on Washington street. Mr. Hurley, who was appointed fuel administrator for Connecticut and served in that capacity for several weeks this past year, stated that the New Yeork, New Haven and Hartford railroad which serves Connecticut is in a bad condition and will not be able to mend this conditlon between now and fall. As a result, he said, traffic congestion will remain a serious probh- lem, The speaker urged everyone pres- ent to stock in a winter's supply of coal during the summer months If they are able to secure the fuel from their respective dealers, as they will probably be unable to get it in the fall, Superintendent Hurley reviewed the listory of the state police department in Connecticut which he sald was or- ganized in 1903. At that time there were but 15 policemen in the depart- ment where as there are more than 40 at the present time. He told of the wide scope of work now being done by the department and how it benefits the rural sections of the state. Because of the additional work the department has, he said, more men are needed on the police force. Colonel Stanley, who has toured the Unitdd States, gave a brief talk on his journeys.
