Senator Joseph H. Lawlor Of Water
bury, state athletic commissioner,
today stated that he Is In favor Of
any consolidation of %sle state de-
partments that Governor Wilbur L..
Cross wants.
The reorganization commission
today submitted its report. In 1t the
118 present departments Of the state
are limited to eighteen. In his posi-
ton as athletic commissioner Sena-
tor Lawlor Is one Of the executive
officials Of the state who would lose
his status and become part Of the
department Of public safety.
Senator Lawlor said this morning
that In the interests of economy and
good government he would accede
to any means Of reorganization that
Governor Cross desired. 1t had been
expected that Senator Lawlor and
Senator Edwin Dimock, both demo-
Gratis holding commissionerships.
might lead move In the senate to
kill the reorganization bill.
Senator Lawlor is member OF
the senate committee on govern
ment reorganization, as Is also Sen
ator George T. Culhane of Water
bury. The commissions report will
60 before this committee for ap-
prevail or rejection.
Senator Lawlor today introduced
bill in the senate providing that
the tax ON all alcoholic beverages
be paid ut the source rather than
by the retailer. This would elm
mate much bookkeeping I'm es-
timating the 4 per cent gross sales
tax. The tax would also be Inn
posed per gallon and not per bot
tie and barrel.
Attorney John H. Cassidy Of Wat
erbury would be reimbursed for q
liquor permit used In part at q Leav-
enworth street establishment In
Waterbury under terms Of q bill also
introduced today by Senator Law
lor. The permit was only used for
part Of a year before being can
celled.
Another bill by Senator Lawlor
would place all through routes with
In city or town limits In the trunk
line system. This would mean that
the state highway department would
take charge Of maintenance and I'm
provement Of many city and town
streets In Connecticut. Two years
ago the Legislature approved such
action in. Bridgeport. Other cities
contemplate similar privileges. Sem
ator Lawlor's bill would extend the
right to all.
Representative william G,
Hungerford Of Waterfront today
introduced . bill similar to that
he sponsored two years ago In the
state senate. 1t calls for establish
ment Of state highway patrol of
Is men to be named by the State
