New Britain herald., 1927-01-05

Such a program has not only a direct effect upon business conditions within the state so advertised, but has a tendency to enhance the pride of the citizens in their state, which pays large dividends by way of in creased production and better con- ditions of living.
 In Connecticut such project has been left almost entirely to private enterprises. and. without direct as- sistance from the state. the results has been gratifying. I feel that work of this sort has been proven sufficiently productive of beneficial results that the state is justified in undertaking such program on its own account, either by commission shall seem proper.
 Connecticut State Fair
 Such an educational program may take various forms. One which might be particularly effective would necesstate the authorization of ex- hibits by various departments of the state in the Connecticut State Fair, which is annually held in the city of | Hartford.
 Such exhibits would provide an op- | portunity which does not now exist, of spreading information to the tax payers in such way that they can 1 visualize the results of the adminis- i tration of public funds and the prog

Soldiers Hospital Board

You have all, no doubt, regretted as I have the occasions during the past two years when dissension in the Soldiers Hospital board was aired in the public press, and finally attained proportions which required action by the governor. This is no occasion for inquiring into the merits of these controversies, nor would such an inquiry serve any useful purpose. To my mind. the root of most all this lack of harmony in this board lies in it's personnel as con- stituted by statutory requirements.
 It is impossible to expect that a board composed of men, many of whom are of an advanced age, and most of whom represent military or veterans organizations, the interests | of which may often be antagonistic, i can reasonably be expected to pro- vide a basis of harmonious coopera- | ton and effective administration. In making such a statement ] do not mean to imply any reflection upon the integrity of any member of the | board or of any organization such members may represent. It is un- necessary to do so. It is in the na- ture of a board so constituted that 1 it's members should feel a divided responsibility, partly to the state and 1 partly to the particular organization of veterans whose interests they, in a measure, represent.
 If the situation is fairly faced, I , think it would be agreed that the in- terests of all persons affected by the administration of our soldiers hos pitals would be best served by a board appointed by the governor without the requirement of equal or proportionate representation of the various veterans or military organi- cations. I am firmly of the opinion that a board so constituted could carry on the work to be done with considerable less friction and con- siderably greater efficiency than can be expected in the present situation. I do not mean to imply that the ap- pointments of the governor should ignore the interests of existing or | ganizations of the type I have men, toned I do feel that the appoint ments might well be limited to men who could be expected to regard the interests of such organizations as of equal importance.
 Advertising
 Elsewhere in this message I have stressed the principle that the methods which have been successful i in the operation of private enter prises may well prove advantageous ! in the administration of a govern- ment. The more progressive states | of the Union are applying this idea i in greater detail each year, with the ! desired economic result. One of ! these methods used to great effect is the so-called advertising" of a state. 1 This means simply an educational program which results in wider | knowledge of the industrial policies, natural resources, living conditions ! and other advantages of the com | munities within the state.
New Britain herald., 1927-01-05

The commissioner of motor ve- hicles will have several recommen- dations, based upon careful study of traffic conditions and accident sta- tistics, which will merit a much more careful consideration than can be expected from committees all ready burdened almost beyond the possibilities of our short session. It must be recognized that transporta- tion problems and regulations of the various forms of vehicular traffic are becoming each year more vital to dustries, anl to the living conditions of the inhabitants of the state.
 The time is not far distant when the state must squarely meet the proposition that more space is ur- gently needed to house the numer- ous and manifold duties of govern mental departments. Chief among the present needs is that of the motor vehicle department. Every assistance by way of quarters, per sonnel, facilities and adequate funds to carry on so essential a work should be given.
 I believe also that the powers of this department should be broaden ed so that it may deal directly and effectively, by regulation, with motor vehicle problems. particularly those involving the safety of travellers. and may be in a position to enforce

the same.
Aviation

It is becoming increasingly ob- vious that aeronautic communication is, in the near future, to play a large part in our economic situation. Dur ing the past year we have witnessed the inauguration and continued de- velopment of new activities in this growing branch of transportation. But rencently the mail route be. tween New York and Boston was established. Throughout the state there has been awakened keen in- terest that is manifesting itself in the building of landing fields, erec- ton of beacon lights and the locat- ing of distinguishing marks, all de- signed to broaden the field of avi- alton and to protect the aviator as he goes from place to place.
 Coincident with the growth and development of aviation will come needed legislation, both of a pro- tective and regulatory nature, and as the growth and development of avi- ation goes on, the volume of legisla- ton will necessarily keep pace with it. To this end, I recommend. as in the case of the motor vehicle de- partment, that a joint standing com- mittee on aviation be created. There are several joint standing commit

ress of the various state agencies toward the most modern methods of operation. None of these methods of advertising the state and it's work are possible, of course, except through proper appropriation for this purpose, or through the authori- zation by the legislature of such ex- penditures by departments in which adequate funds may be already available.
 State Police Commission recommend that the legislature substitute for the state police com- mission, as now constituted, a single commissioner of police. This will be in line with the constitution of other state departments. and will be in the interest of more efficient and | harmonious and economical admin istration of an important depart ment of the state, and the elimina- tion of possible divided responsibili- ty.
 Motor Vehicle
 The problems incident to motor vehicle regulation become each year more numerous and pressing. In order to deal most effectively with these matters, I urge upon the legis- lature the creation of @ joint stand ing committee on motor vehicles which shall have exclusive charge of the consideration of all proposed legislation dealing with these topics.
