Money, Money, Who's Got It?

When Connecticut legislators gather in Hartford next month and finish up the job of getting organized one of the first things they may do is to play an adaptation of the old childhood game Of Button, button, who's got the button?" Only instead of looking for a button, legislators, aided by other state officials, department heads, etc., will be looking for money, lots of money, in fact, oodles of money. Connecticut, if she embarks on the program in contemplation by her officials, will spend and then spend some more.
 It won't be foolish spending; it will be spending on vitally necessary projects, many of them projects that should have been started years ago. We could go back to the days of republican domination and show that even then some of the things that are contemplated right now were mentioned and shunted aside because Connecticut could not deviate from her pay-as-you-go fetish. We didn't deviate; we kept within the budget; there was even a surplus instead of a deficit as we have today.
 But the fact still remains that the things left undone in those days of build- ing up surplus and avoiding deficit are now all punched together. As re- suit it's going to be very difficult task to decide how much money is going to be spent and where the money will come from that is to be spent. There are so many things that must be done and the demands of the various departments are backed by such pressing needs that it IS hard to see how anyone demand may be overlooked.
 For instance, the tuberculosis sana- toria The state commission in charge asks $3,000,000 for an extensive building program. The building is necessary. There are other institutions, such as the state hospitals. There is the new home for the feeble-minded. There is Connecti- cut College, so long neglected and so urgently in need of the psysical expansion it has been deprived of for. years. The list is not endless, but it is long and an expensive one. To make too much me- tion of it might kill all chance of securing the necessary financial aid for some par ticular project.
 State parks and forests, although they may seem to the average man to have re- ceived plenty of attention, were never benefited by large appropriations for the State Forest and Park Commission. This board for years has pleaded it's cause, but usually been forced to take what was left and make the best of it. Handicapped in this fashion Connecticut today ranks high up on the list of those states where for ests and park development has reached commanding spot. What could we have done with more financial assistance? Where would we have been without the eco? The Connecticut Forest and Park Association will ask the legislators for $500,O00 each year for a two year period. Ignorance and indifference should not defeat this great program, but it is un- fortunate that it will be considered with similar ones also demanding appropria- tions in the millions.
 Connecticut will need to shake the tree of plenty in 1887 and 1888 to meet all de- mands.

First Boston Corp. Says Cut

Money Rates.
By the Associated Press.

b. the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 30.-Antici-
pating another move early next year
by the Federal Reserve Board to cut
the surplus supply Of loanable bank
funds, the First Boston Corp. expressed
the view that such action need have
no actual effect on money rates"
The investment banking house in
q letter to customers, also called at
tention to possibility of bookkeeping
balance" in the Federal budget by the
end Of the present fiscal year and
cautioned against paying high pre-
miums on Federal obligations matur-
ing after September, 1887, in expecta-
ton Of getting privileges for subscrip-
ton to new issues.
Under o balanced budget the cor
poration noted, the Government may
have to pay OF In cash part Of its
maturing debts.
The letter set forth the belief the
Reserve Board would act by ordering
another increase in reserve require
ments of member banks, similar to
its order last August for a so per
cent boost In the deposits members
must keep at the reserve banks.
Part of the surplus locked up" by
the first move, however, has been off,
set by renewed rise Of the excess
accompanying q further inflow Of
gold.
This action, II taken," the letter
added, will be to prevent undue credit
expansion made possible by the i'm
portation Of gold. Gold is evidently
going to continue to flow towards this
country because the output Of newly
mined gold Is much larger than normal
and our price of gold is high and hold
ing up the world price. The purchase
by foreign interests Of our securities
brings additional gold"

CONTRACTORS
HEAR HARDING

To meet a shortage Of skilled
labor in the construction industry,
immediate steps should be taken
to re-establish apprentice training
on a large scale, Managing Direc-
tor Edward j. Harding told the
Associated General Contractors of
America yesterday at the opening
of a two-day fall session in the
Willard Hotel. Mr.. Harding told
the members of the association:
"AlthOugh the volume of con.
StructiOn being executed by con-
tract is still but . fraction of
the Once-demOnStrated capacity
Of the construction industry, we
already have . distinct skilled
labor shortage. For the last five
years there has been practically
no apprentice training, and it is
necessary to recognize the prob
lem facing the industry If the
present trend Of increasing vol
ume Of private construction con-
tinueS."
National headquarters of the as
sociation is cooperating with the
Department Of Labor in an effort
to work out a large-scale program
Of apprentice training, he reported.
