FINANCE SUGGESTIONS
State Treasurer McCook Explains Supervision of State School and College Funds.

Hartford, Jan. 6.--ln a report sub. mitted to Governor Templeton today by State Treasurer McCook, it is recommended that closer supervi- sion by the treasurer and deputy treasurer over the state school and agricultural college funds which is contemplated by law and which has been put into effect, be continued and extended. He makes several specific comments on the condition of the funds which may be summar- ized as follows;
 That the law which requires all properties mortgaged to the state as security for its loans to be re-ap- praised once every five years has not been compiled with since it's passage in 1909.
 That the records of the school fund office have not been satisfac- tory as regards availability of statis- ties and that too much dependence has been placed on the personal knowledge of the clerk of the fund as to the status of the various loans.
 "A re-appraisal of all loans has been ordered and Treasurer McCook says that although this has been a defficult task involving three hum drcd and four separate properties situated in 46 towns and cities it has been completed except for a single loan.
 Treasurer McCook says that the most serious case is that Of an indi- vidual who is indebted to the two funds in the sum of S57,900 and who is S4,OOO in arrears on interest.

 His devotion to art led him into many channels of literature and he was considered an excellent scholar and an extremely we'll read man.
 He is survived by one brother E. Alien Moore, president of the stan ley Works, New Britain, and a sister Miss Ellen NJ. Moore, who is at pres cnt in Florence, Italy. Miss Moore is also considered an artist of no mean ability.
