CONNECTICUT'S METHODS OF
 DOING BUSINESS CRITICIZED

disputed point of central purchase, pointing out that it's true function was not alone the saving of money, but also the more important one of aiding the superintendents of insti- tutions, for example, by expert ad- vice in dietary of their inmates, in clothing and equipment especially for education, without interfering un- necessarily with their individual ad- ministration.
 In closing he congratulated the League of Women Voters on their ef- fort to interest the new citizens of the state in sincere study of ad- ministrative questions ,and urged that the work be continued, as he regard ed this opportunity for securing a we'll organized administration too i'm portant not to be utilized to the full
 Representative Russell opened his talk on the application of the principle of reorganization to the state of Con- necticut by outlining the course of the civil administration code bill which failed to pass the 1921 legislature. He told of the drawbacks to the present haphazard growth of the state depart ments and bureaus which now number about 40.
 "The expenditure of the state in the past 50 years has increased in pro- portion to the population ten-fold," he continued. The system of spending that money is practically the same as 50 years ago.
 Everybody on a state job is doing it as we'll as possible under the pres ent system. But the system has out worn it's usefulness. It is possible to point to certain glaring errors. For example, we recently had to appropri- ate large sum of money for water supply for Storrs college and Mans field As the buildings grew the wa ter supply became inadequate. If there had been anyone whose duty it was to study the question of locating new buildings for the state, Storrs' college wouldn't have been built where 1t was. Result-a large amount of money which little planning would have saved. I believe that CO., ordination of the construction work undertaken by the state would save more money than any other single project"
 Mir Russell in closing urged public support for reorganization of the state departments along lines of greater efficiency and economy.
