State Finances


 During the two years last past our state has been compelled to meet unusual expenses. The cost of main taining our insane hospitals with some four thousand inmates has greatly increased because of the in- creased cost of fuel, food, clothing and labor. The same is true of our School for Boys, our Industrial School for Girls, our Reformatory, and all other institutions supported by the state. To this has been added the amount expended upon our Home Guard, the amount expended by our Home Guard, the amount expended by our Council of Defense, the cost of the buildings for the feeble-mind ed at Mansfield, the establishment of the Connecticut State Farm for Women, the separation allowances for soldiers dependents, and other expenses which were larger than in normal times, but all of our obliga- tions have been paid and our state finances are in a very encouraging condition.
 The 1915 General Assembly pro- vided for sinking fund to pay off our state bonds as they matured, and that s500,000 each year be added to ir.

the station physician.
The station officials could not bear

at last suitable name was found. To
employees of the station Baby Griggs
always will be known as Gateway

Each Case Has Own Problem.
Not all of these men require spe-
cial training to enable them to make
living, the federal board for voca-
tional education points out; in fact,
the percentage Is smaller than one
would imagine. A lawyer, doctor,
craftsman, bookkeeper, dentist, stenog-
rapher, office man or salesman is not
necessarily affected unfavorably in
making living by reason of having
lost leg; but the loss Of an arm may
be very serious matter.
Those who in the main require re-
education on account of leg or arm
amputatiOns are farmers, artisans
whose trades require great activity,
such as carpenters, transfers, struc
tural iron workers and the like.
