firing the presidential salute which
was returned by the dipping OF

during that period has been 4.56
inches short of the normal, a
shortage of about 16 per cent.
For the winter of 1933-34 Chat
is for the months of December,
January and February. there
was also a deficiency; the total
was 1888 inches as compared
with a normal of 14.96 inches,
which shows shortage of 1868
inches, or about "a per cent. But
counting from January l, 1884,
there has been a slight "excess, "
the total being 1917 inches As

More Advice Offered

Close on the heels of the suggestion by former State Senator Albert E. Lavery of Bridgeport that the state should divert funds from the motor vehicle department receipts to cut down the deficit comes suggestion from State Motor Vehicle Commissioner Michael A. Connor that the state police be paid with receipts from his department. Such a program would to some extent curtail road building. Ex- cuse for such a procedure is contained III the idea that the money actually is being spent for highway safety. Quite true.
 There is more to be said about this dl- version than any other we have read about in recent months. In truth we don't think it actually can be called a diversion. While the police and motor vehicles are two separate state departments, 1t can't be denied that the state police spend most of their time patrolling our highways so that our motor laws will be properly ob- served. True other duties are placed on tkem, but should not the motor vehicle department then pay proportionate share of the annual appropriation of the state police branch of government?
 It's annual budget is in the neighbor- hood of S1,OOO,OOO To take this amount away from the motor vehicle and highway departments would certainly be felt. Per- haps the commissioner would make it up in some other way, but we can only see curtailment in our building and repair programs of the coming years, If motor registrations and operators fees are ma terially reduced as promised, then certain ly there will be need to consider well every cent spent for new or old roads if the rate of progress now maintained is to be con- tinued We'd like to see some more fig ures on the matter before endorsing it in entirety.
