Speaker MachoId's Address.
Speaker Machold in an address to the
Assembly. after reviewing the accom-
plishments of the Legislature In adher-
Ing to the Governors program OF re-
trenchment and economy, said:
The record OF this Legislature, how
ever, is not alone its economical accom-
plishments, great as they are. I have
already referred to the appropriation
which has becn- made for furthering the
work offchild hygiene. Our child well
fare program and the establishment OF
the juvenile court system in this State
marks very long stride I'm advance.
The women of the State who have
worked so earnestly and so snscifshly
for many years along these lines can
see in what you have done the pear ap-
proach OF the fuliilment OF their ideals
and principles.
"One OF the most constructive
IneaSurtS ever passed oy any LeBislature
for the benefit of the city and State OF
New York. in. my opinion. was the bin
which was passed at this session to
authorize the; port development in the
harbor OF New York. This should re-
suit in great reductions In the cost OF
handling freight, with a corresponding
reduction in the cost OF necessities TO the
people OF that great city, at the same
time providing a nearer approach for
the solution OF the problem of how 10
get the produce Of the producer 10 tho
consumer without the tremendous cost
which now prevails in its distribution"
