Gov. Trumbull
(Continued from Page One.)
This story is paralleled in many
other states. and the comparison of
Connecticut with these states is
very gratifying.
"Probably one of the best illus-
trations which can be made of Con-
necticut s method upgains: the gen-
eral method of other states is in the
mailer of Highway and Bridge con-
struction. The state of New York
has outstanding bonds. the money
from which was used specifically for
highway construction. totalling over
898.000.000. North Carolina has
bonds outstanding for over $60,000,-
000. which money has been used for
highways. This is practically the to-
tal amount of North Carolina's
bonded indebtedness. This story
might be repeated in many other
3;, siatcs.
“How does Connecticut avoid this
position? For some years past it has
been an cstabiishcd policy of the
Republican administration to limit
expenditures for highways and
bridge construction repair income
derived from the gasoline tax. it is
the Republican theory that the nu-
iomobile and truck thru its license
fee and by its purchase of gas should
pay for Connecticut's highways. and
that the person not owning an auto-
mobile not be penalized by charging
such expenditures into general tax-
es. or by using bonds, the in-
terest upon which. would naturally
have to come from general inso-
tion. In the opinion of most people.
Connecticut in proportion to size.
bus the best and most complete state
highway system in the country. and
this highway systcni is paid for.
lludgct System
"It is customary under Republi—
can administrntion for the appropri-
ations committee to consider no or-
pendltures of the state's money be—
fore complete figures are availablc.
as to the budget required by the dc-
parimcnts and institutions and until
the finance coumiitlce has mrei’ulli
esinbllshcd the increase in the ill-
comc. which is due to normal dc-
vclopmcnt. After hating llit‘St‘ facls
at their command. appropriations
are then very carefully cousillcrcd
and are Just as carefiiliv pi'llliml
down so that it is a certainty that
for the two years following thc tics-
sion of the legislature. the income
of the state will adequately take
care of its appropiiaiions and ihr-
regular expenditures of the stats-
”3““ F Flnhcriy l! 9"”!!an "'dcpartmcnts and institutions. This is
e pay-es-you-go policy. For the past
six years. it has been one of the ba-
sic foundations around which the
Republican Government of Connec-
ticut has revolved.
"Various changes in operations of
the departments and institutions
have also brought up the standard
of efficiency. Notable in this respect
was the change of system in the
Comptroller's office in 1921 where-
by records are kept up to the min-
ute and bills are discounted prompt~
iv with a considerable saving of the
state's money. These matters of de~
tall are too many to extend upon.
The total figures tell the story or
Connecticut's insistence that sound
and conservative financial manage-
ment is imperative. When Republi-
can sdministrsiion came into office
in 1916. the major portion of the
present bonded debt was handed
over by a preceding Democratic
administration. The rest of the
bonded indebtedness was acquired
because of the War. From that time
on. it has been the ambition of the
Republican administrations to wipe
out this debt and then keep Con-
necticut free from financial oblige-
tions. The pay-astyou-go policy ac-
complished this about a. year ago
and today Connecticut stands at the
top of the list as the soundest state
in the Union.
"The only argument which has
been advanced so far in this present
campaign is that the Democratic
Nominees are “Just as good" as the
Republican incumbents. The average
person would prefer to deal in tried
and well known articles which are
known thru experience rather than
be convinced to try "substitutes."
Past records are much more con-
vincing than promises for the fu-
ture.
Hartford May License
Architects, Contractors
And Engineers Too
The Hartford building commission
has tentatively approved a proposal
that architects. engineers, contrac-
lors and others be subject to license
rcquirt-ments under a plan similar
to that in effect for plumbers, elec-
tricians and other trades in the
building division. As a result it is
probable that this feature will be
incorporated in the revised building
code being prepared. part of which
has been completed and put into
operation.
Some timo ago a suggestion that
contractorg. architects and engineers
be. licensed by the building depart-
mcnt was made. The question will
he submificd to the common coun-
(-il.
