was passed providing for a Typographical
survey and map of this state. I am in
formed that this work has substantially
been completed. In the act providing for
this no provision was made for print
ing and distributing copies of the map. It
is apparent that copies of this map should
be printed and distributed 80 as to be &C
cessible, and that an appropriation should
be made for that purpose.
am informed by the trustee under the
will of Philip Marett, late of New Haven,
deceased, that he has in his possession a
fund amounting to over SIC, 900, be-
queathed by said will to the state of Con-
necticut Gin trust" the income to be
applied towards the maintenance of an
institution for the care or relief of idiots,
imbeeiles and feeble minded persons. BE
tells me that he has offered to pay this to
the treasurer of the state. but that the
treasurer declined to receive it, doubling
his authority to take 1t and thereby bind
the state to the performance of the condi-
tions of the trust. I recommend that you
take this matter into consideration and
enact such legislation relative thereto az
may be for the public welfare.
The direct tax paid by this state to the
United States government during the late
war, amounting to about 1891 600, and
which congress has voted to refund is now
ready to be paid as soon as some person ii
authorized by the Legislature to receive
and receipt for the same, pursuant to the
act of congress.
Gentlemen, I have called your attention
to such subjects for legislation as, in my
| judgment, more especially need your at
tention. During the session you will hav,
laid before you the reports of various com
| missioners and the directors of certain in
| situations, and L request you to EXAMINE
| the same and to enact such further legisls
ton relative thereto as the welfare of tn
! state may require.

Manhattan dropped from 1864 to 1s3@ and

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

Iwonld call your attention to our pres
emit method of appointing county commits.
sioners by the legislature. Tho duties Of
these commissioners are confined to their
respective counties Great powers are
given them In the management Of the A.
fairs of the county, and in contracting
d. BITS which tho people of the county have
to pay. seleotmen, who have charge Of
tho affairs Of the town, are elected by the
people Of that town. can see no good
reason why county commissioners should
not be elected by the people of their re-
spective counties. The sheriffs of the sew
eral counties are go elected, and the people
have a greater interest in the selection of
persons for commissioners than for shsr-
IFS. The present method Of appointing
them by the legislature. where persons
from other parts of the state who have no
interest in or responsibility for the acts of
commissioners in any other county than
their own. have the power to appoint COM
missicners for other counties, IL unjust
and wholly inconsistent with the principle
