CHARLES s. WHITMAN"
WANTS SEA SCHOOL KEPT
Capt. McMurray Of the Newport
Opposed to povernor's idea.

The news that Gov. Whitman's ecou-
omy message to the Legislature recon-
mended the abolition OF the state Maui
tical School and the returning OF It's
schoolship the Old gunboat Newport, to
the Federal Government was received
yesterday aboard the Newport with sor-
row but with determination to put up a
fight for existence.
Capt Frederic S. McMurray. who
brought the ship back few days ago
from five months cruise to San Fran
cisco. Hawaii and Panama. sees in Gov.
Whitman's plan blow at two great
national issues. preparedness and the
upbuilding Of a merchant marine.
This Is no time to stop our work" he
said. Right now there In more demand
for our graduates than there ever has
been. We graduated forty-three young
fellows while We we're stuck at Panama
by the slides. and every one of them had
a good job waiting when he got TO New
York. Everybody 10 saying that the
United States needs "A merchant marine
and that the navy should be enlarged.
Everybody is saying that We need Off
GERS. We turn out men who are fully
qualified to be officers.
The people of New York city ought
not to stand for stopping our work. Al
most all our graduates are employed In
commerce out of this port. I believe
Gov. Whitman's great objection is the
individual cost Of educating a man. about
$1,000 for the two years. Gov. Glynn
never complained. n they would give us
a larger vessel that would accommodate
twice the 100 men We can accommodate.
We could cut the individual cost. also w,
have 100000 coming from Congress
an appropriation we never have col
lected."
Capt McMurray also pointed out that
last year the school returned SIS. 900 OF
its appropriation.
The nautical school has been in exist
ence forty years. but until two years ago
was "A city enterprise. In all. II has
graduated $500 men, who. when edu-
Gated. were from i6 To 90 years old The

Budget Of S57.184,517 COM

ton of $63.997.271.

ALBANY. Jan. 5.--Gov. whitman IL
proud Of his accomplishment in the ex-
ecutive budget to cover state expenses
for the coming fiscal year. which he
submitted to the Legislature to-day with
his annual message devoted exclusively
TO state finances In discussing this
budget the Governor tonight said:
II presented to the Legislature a
budget proposal Of which the total is
s57.1S4.51I. as compared with the total
appropriation Of the Legislature OF 1915
OF S63,s97.271.
THE sinking fund contributions for
the coming year, under the provisions
Of the Constitution. have increased au-
tomatically from se.6I1,514 appropriated
last year to S11,563.953 Necessary to be
appropriated for the coming year. an
increase OF s1.ss2,43s
Excluding sinking fund contributions
and the special canal construction ap-
preparation Of S3.654,OO0 from the total
of 1913, and the sinking fund contrtbu-
ions from the total items Of the ten
tativc budget, the proposals for the next
fiscal year are S5.i3<.is4 below the ap-
preparations for similar items in 1915.
This proposed reduction Of s5.134,1s4 in
departmental expenses therefore repre-
sents the results OF the work Of the
Governors budget conference
II desire to express my appreciation
Of the aid rendered the budget confer
ence by Comptroller Prendergast Of
New York city, who contributed the ser
vices of Deputy Comptroller Charles g.
IIervey Of his office to direct the work.

proposals compared with the sppropria-
tions made in 1915. and the requests
made by the various State departments

year 1s16-1s1I shows that the total Of
the requests submitted TO the Goernor
WAS S7O223.312. This has been decreased

ton for the maintenance Of State ana
county highways Under this plan state
moneys In large amounts lie unexpended
In the custody Of the county treasurers
for a year or two years at a time. The
appropriations for these purposes by the
Legislature OF 1915 amounted TO slightly
less than $4.000.060. The proposed ap-
propriations for next year for the same
purpose total about $3.600.000. ! be-
lieve that no department should audit
and pay claims resulting from It's own

THE Department OF Public Works Ii
likewise Its own financial ofYlcer for It's
financial operations. The maintenance

The State Hospital Commission is the
financial officer OF the State for fourteen
insane hospitals. expending approxi-
mately $4,000 900 annually in rnainte-
nance and construction.
The Fiscal Supervisor is the financial
officer Of the State for the nineteen State
charitable institutions. expending more
than ss,ooo.o00 annually.
More Decentralization Of Control.
The Prison Department is che finan-
cial officer Of the State for six prisons
and two hospitals sor the criminal in

gate over $1.00O.000 annually.
The State Arnory Commission with
out any act OF the Legislature, assesses
upon the counties the amount necessary
for the maintenance of county arnories

operation is the appropriation of moneys

The State Fair Commissions under the
present law makes disbursements with.
out Legislative appropriation, of a large
percentage of the gate and other receipts

THE above are the chief examples Of
existing decentralization of state finan-
cial control.
Another confusing and objectionable
feature OF State finance which, like the
segregation OF financial control. results
In duplication OF work. added office ea-
pense and divided responsibility. is the
existence OF funds separate from the
general fund OF the State. and the com
