ITO the Honorable Senate:
Il herewith return without my ap-
proval Senate bill 1872, An act to ap-
propriate a certain sum in aid of the
Brattleboro retreat
There are two questions of state
policy involved in this bill. First,
shall the state substitute by donation
corporations which are not controlled
by 1t and over which II has no juris-
diction whatever? In this connection,
1t may be said, that in furtherance
of that policy, the Legislature of 1910
appropriated $4,000 for the Austine
institution in Brattleboro, an insti.
tuition over which it has no control
whatever. And this present session
of the Legislature has appropriated
$4,000 in addition to that sum. II
would seem to me that the state has
gone far enough in this direction,
both for that and other institutions
of kindred nature.
