The Governors Message

After appropriate words of acknoWl-
edgement of the honor conferred upon
him by the people of Connecticut, Cow
ernor Cooke gave financial statement
showing the disbursements of the state
are in excess of receipts. A plan to
remedy this should be one of the first
steps of the legislature. Retrench-
ments in expenditures should be at
once entered upon.
Necessary improvements.
While the strictest economy should
be observed in the expenditure of the
public funds, it is nevertheless to be
expected that with our ever-increasing
population and wealth, and constant
progress toward better conditions for
the less wealthy of our citizens, new
necessities will arise to invite the care
full attention of the engeral assembly.
Should you determine to grant fur
Their aid to the towns in the improve
ment of their highways, and should
you look with approval on other pro-
jects claiming to promote the health,
safety and convenience of the public,
an increase in our annual revenues
must be provided. Tt should be your
first care to avoid additions to the
funded Indebtedness. Current reve-
nues should be sufficient to meet cur
rent expenses.
You have the power to lay a tax upon
the general list of the state. But it is
possible that this plan will meet with
strong opposition from the poorer and
sparsely settled communities already
heavily assessed for local purposes. l
would advise a careful examination
and comparison of the assessments

that existing inequalities may be
equalized and the burden placed upon
the most productive properties receiv-
ing the largest public benefits.
AS to the savings banks, the COVER
nor reports them as nearly all in a
healthy state. The safety of the in
vestments by the banks should be ever
of paramount Importance.

cents each, $13O,S32.25. The shrinkage
in the capital of the fund of $4,526.11
since July, 1895, is accounted for by the
feet that certain securities that APP
peared in the schedule of 1896 have
been charged off as Of no value, or sold
at prices lower than the amount origi-
nally loaned
