p - Governor Cross indicated to.

gan B. Brainard, president Of Aetna
Insurance Company, to reconsider
his resignation as a member Of q
commission to construct q new state
hospital for feeble-minded.
Brainard, 1t was learned, quit the
commission O month ago after re-
portedly expressing dissatisfaction
with mounting costs and the fact
the Public Works Department had
stripped the group Of virtually ell
authority.
The hospital, originally estimated
TO cost 100000 according to Brain
ard. would actually cost $b,726, 900
under an approved PWA grant from
Washington.
He declared the federal applica-
ton ian extravagant method Of OBJ
tanning funds" and said he was
quite unwilling to have any share
In the responsibility"
Charles A. Moser, chairman Of the
commission, said the states share Of
the cost would not be greater than
planned, but the federal grant would
be larger because Of the necessity Of
getting the work DONE"
Public Works Director Robert A..
Hurley said the application for the
federal grant had been forwarded
to Washington before he took once
and he believed the entire cost
should not exceed $3,000,000.
The governor said he planned 10
visit the hospital site with Brain
ard. but was delayed because Of the
food and hurricane conditions.
