Connecticut Gives
Interest to Plan
for Federal Aid
Possibilities of COmplet-
ing Many Long'Delayed L
Projects Stir Public.
BY ROBERT d. BYRNES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
HARTFORD, Conn, July 8.-Connec-
ticut Is slowly awaking to the possibli-
ties Of securing Federal aid for many
delayed projects and during the
week in both Hartford and in Fairfield
County discussions have been started
on applications to be made. Hartford.
It was announced following conference
between Mayor Rankin and Representa-
tive Kopplemann, expects to be one OF
the first cities to apply for aid. Pro-
jects under consideration for Federal
financing include grade crossing elimi-
nations, q sewage disposal plant and
new high school.
Fairfield County Is interested In the
construction of the Merritt highway. de-
signed to run north Of and parallel Z
the Boston Post road from Bridgeport
to the New York State line and reneve
congestion on that highway. The state
Is laying out the road and has done
some construction, but Fairfield County
wants the project finished earlier than
will be possible If the State pays Tor II.
The road is named for Representative
Schuyler Merritt Of the fourth district
and the development work to follow its
construction is in charge Of commis-
sion of which he Is q member.
Groups Are Organized.
The Manufacturers Association Of
Connecticut has organized its members
into groups in anticipation Of the dis
cussion Of codes under the industrial
recovery act. Charles L. Eyanson, as
sistant to the president Of the Associa-
ton, in commenting on the cotton code,
sees 1t as some help to the cotton textile
industry in Connecticut, through the
standards Of hours and wages made ap-
plicable to competitors in the South,
but says Connecticut manufacturers are
disappointed in the lack Of relaxation Of
the antitrust laws and an opportunity
to control prices. The Connecticut cot
ton industry is operating at about 20 pr

that the number of families in this city
depending on doles, private and public,
has declined approximately 10 per cent
during the last few weeks. This Is due
partially to seasonal influences, but in
creased employment Is the main reason
for the happier state Of affairs.
Public Funds Will Help.
The Unemployment movement will be
accelerated greatly here in the near fu-
ture, when the city receives large sums
under the national industrial recovery
act for the construction of public works.
A comprehensive program, including
subway building, completion Of the Tri-
borough Bridge, erection Of schools and
hospitals, the laying of highways and
the construction Of the Delaware water
project is being studied by Mayor
O'Brien and his associates. 1t is al
most a certainty that these public
works, which have been held in abey-
ance because Of the depression, will go
forward as soon as Federal funds can
be obtained and the city can devise
way of raising its share, which is 80 per
cent.
Another cheerful note among the
parting economic clouds is the fact that
in May $403,3 ,341.47 in beer and wine
taxes was paid to the State and it was
estimated that the total in June would
be more than $500,000. Because Of this
increasing new revenue, the success Of
the States l per cent retail sales tax

from the stock transfer tax, due to re-
vived Stock Exchange activity, Control
Ter Morris S. Tremaine estimated re-
Gently that the States $100, 900, 900 def
cit would be wiped out this fiscal year.
and q surplus Of at least 100000
would be created.
Legislature May Act.
This has given rise to the belief that
the Legislature, at its session next VIM
ter, will eliminate the l per cent gross
income tax which was passed under
pressure this Spring. The unpopularity
Of this tax with every bracket Of tax
payers and the general belief that re-
thereby adding millions to the States
treasury, support the contention that
the next Legislature will take favorable
action in this matter, which is Of i'm
portance to every tncome-producing
New York resident
Definite gains have been made re-
Gently in coastal shipping from the
Port Of New York, including a large
volume Of freight going to Pacific Coast
ports. Transatlantic shipping remains
dull and tourist travel to Europe IS
below last year, though there has been
some improvement recently In high
class cruises and In cheaper travel on
the big liners and cabin boats. Ship
ping executives, however, look for some
betterment OF their transatlantic freight
business because Of the $4,000, 900 loan
granted Soviet Russia for the purchase
of American cotton. Also, it is believed
that shipping between here and Russia
will increase sharply should this Gov
eminent recognize the Soviet.
Airport Travel Increased.
Airplane travel to and from metro
politan airports has increased sharply
this Summer, in some instances more
than IS per cent.
Showing confidence in the improved
conditions people here are beginning
to loosen their purse strings a bit for
pleasure purposes.
