today in reply to kilograms in survey

Tribune Comment of several State ex-
I ecutiyes follows:
! Herbert H. Lehman, acting Governor
ALBANY, Nov. "a
"I am confident that President
Hoover's conferences on business are
proving effective and already have done
much to allay fear of any serious or
extended trade recession. For my gen.
eral views with regard to the possibility
and need of constructive and sound in
dividual and group action to assure q
1 continuation of our prosperity I refer
| you to a speech made few days ago
before the Academy of Political Science
in which said In part:
| "'I am certain that the State OF New
York will not only maintain, but In
| crease, so far as it may, its construc-
ton program during the coming year,
| laying particular emphasis on the build
| ing and maintenance of roads, the con-
struction of hospitals and prisons and
similarly greatly needed and serviceable
undertakings. These will be made pos
! sible through increased budgetary ap-
| propriattorlS out Of current FUNDS. as, OF
| course, no bond issue is or, can be made
available without q. referendum to the
people Of the State
Il am certain that Gov. Roosevelt
will, so far as resources and provisions
Of law permit, urge the advancement
Of a sound and desirable construction
program IN this State, and / trust and
am confident that the Legislature will
follow his recommendations"
Frank G. Allen, Governor of Massa-
chuSettS:
BOSTON. November "a.
II am in hearty accord with President
Hoover's business sterilization program.
The public works program for this year
in Massachusetts, is the most extensive
in history. Orders have been issued TO
speed up this work. We have just au-
thorized the construction of new ONCE
building to be undertaken Immediately.
The budget for 1880 will provide for the
most ambitious program for construc-
ton and reconstruction .of highways
and public works. We expect full CO.
operation from our cities and towns"
o. Max Gardner, Governor Of North
Carolina:
RALEIGH, N. c., November "a.
ct heartily indorSe the constructive
proposal of President Hoover. With
cheap money and abundant credit, the
plan of the President should find ready
response in stimulating public work.
It seems to me to be the duty OF all
governmental agencies to cooperate to
the fullest extent in the practical adap-
tation Of public Expenditures to meet the
pressing necessities Of the public good"
Myers Y. Cooper, Governor of Ohio:
COLUMBUS, Ohio, November "a.
"Ohio Is in thorough accord with
President Hoover's public Improvement
program and has already initiated plans
for meeting conditions which might re-
suitcin unemployment due to the recent
business disturbances. An order OF the
governor directs the highway commits
.siokserslto continue the letting OF high
way contracts each and every month
tinrougfiaSie the Winter, which will result
In a new construction program to the
amount of S12,000,000 for the first six
months of 1880, and in addition to that
a $6,000,000 maintenance program for
the same period has been arranged.
"Ohio further has the largest pubic
building program for the immediate
future in the history OF the State, con-
sisting of a new SIS, 100000 Office build
ing and q like amount to be expended
in welfare and educational building, IN
surfing the employment of hundreds OF
men and the purchase OF enormous
quantities of material. experimenting
this program, the governor has called
on the executives OF all municipalities
to give every consideration to the speed
ing up Of all public improvements. In
Guiding streets, buildings and other
municipal enterprises.
"a call has been issued by the gov
ernor for the converting of every county
commissioner In the State to meet with
the highway commissioner December
to consider plans for continuing local
bodybuilding programs in conjunction
with the State Highway Department.
This program was outlined by the gov
ernor to a conference Of 500 industrial
and financial leaders meeting In CO.
lubus last week and met with their
approval. The overwhelming conviction
in Ohio is that business Is fundamen-
tally sound"
Harry H. Horton, Governor Of Ten
neSsee:
NASHVILLE, Tenn. November "a.
81 have telegraphed President Hoover
as follows:
Permit me TO congra tulate you upon
the practical and effective manner in
which, by stimulating industry and
preventing unemployment, you are per-
petuating national prosperity. This
should make the year 1880 another year
of general prosperity for the American
people. I wish to assure you not only
Of my complete sympathy with your
plans, but Of my desire to have Ten
nessee cooperate fully with you In
them. am calling an extra session Of
the General Assembly of Tennessee for
December q and, in addition to other
legislation, am requesting the Legisla-
ture to authorize expenditures for high
way construction so as to make 1880
our banner year In highway work. I
am also asking it to provide a fund
aid In the construction of elementary
schools, county hospitals and other
public buildings needed in Tennessee,
so that in 1880 Tennessee will be able
to take advantage of the lower con-
struction costs now prevailing and will
also, by charging its construction pro-
gram for highways and public build
ings, increase employment and assist
industry.
"T feel that if the other States hav-
ing before them similar uncompleted
construction programs will likewise
speed up such work in 1880 1t would
result In great advantage to such States
and give immediate and further slim
ulation to industry and employment to
labor. In my opinion 1880 will find
labor we'll employed and industry run
ming at capacity in Tennessee and our
people generally prosperous
I'm my Judgment the General As
sembly of Tennessee will enact the leg
islation suggested in my wire to the
President and instead of business de-
preston In 1880 a general prosperity
even greater than usual will prevail in
Tennessee"
George H. Dern, Governor Of Utah:
Salt Lake City, November "a.
IT am favorable to President Hoover's
