HARTFORD. Jan. 3.——A general
policy of strict economy inState ex-
penditures. with a. vigorous eifort to
reduce State taxation as far as possi-
ble. was commended to the General
Assembly by Governor Charles A.
Templeton in his inaugural message
delivered at the first session of the As-
sembly today.
‘ To the average man the most vital
economic problem is the staggering
burden of taxation." he said. "With
this thought in mind, every proposal
for the creation of any new State ac-
tivity or expense should be subjc ted
to careful scrutiny, bearing in mind
that we are the stewards of the peo-
ple‘s funds and should expend them
only as a prudent man would expend
his own money. "
Governor Templeton praisei the
condition of the State finances, saying;
that; their satisfactory condition was
an indication that Connecticut ’has
turned the corner, and that our busi-
ness and in‘dustries‘are in a normal
prosperous condition." He added.
however. that any increase in revenue
would not present aproblem of a. sur-
plus.
A“

“It is not anilnvitatlon." he said. _.
“to seek new channels of expenditure.
but rather an admonition to us to hus-
tand our resources and to render the
burden of taxation more tolerable.”
“The effort of the- General Assembly
should be concentrated as far as pos-
sible. in a. strenuous purpose to reduce
the public burden. The State and
county tax imposed on the grand list
of the towns constitutes'a great but-4
den on a class of property , already
heavily taxed. There is an unlimited
number of plans by which State rev-
enues may be derived from additional
sources. but I believe that is your first
duty to consider all possible means of
reducing the cost of the State govern-
ment rather 1than seeking additional

He is the sixty—fifth governor
in direct line from John Haynes, Vi
who became the first colonial governor in 1639, and the second citi~
zen of the city, of Waterbury in all that long span of years to take
the oath of the highest elective ofice ’within the gift of the people of _7
