 this showing" he said, because we have been obliged to expend $l68,- 842.55 over and above the amount allowed in the budget of the state institutions to cover the increase in personnel made necessary by the 54- hour week law.
 We have also spent $393, 300 for the purpose of additional land for Sherwood Island Park and other state parks and for institutions.
 Moreover, there has been an un- expectedly large number of persons receiving support from the state, the cost of which up to June 30, 1888. was $165,376.74 more than the amount appropriated by the general assembly for the fiscal year 1937- 38."
 The governor said he has expend- ed from the $100,000 emergency fund established for him by the general assembly the following sums:
 For the New England railroad freight rate committee, $l1,820.
 For the Waterbury grand jury, $26, 165.
 For an addition to the appropria- tion for refunds of taxes and pay ments, $6l, ,035.
 '"The large amount added to the appropriation for refunds of taxes and payments" the governor said, "has resulted from the decision of the court in the so-called Stanley Works case, under which decision several large claims were presented for refunds.
 There is a balance left in the emergency fund of $978.4l which will revert to the general fund"

 Methods of Delay He termed the appeals as methods of delay" q expected Il to happen" he said. The avalanche of motions and now the appeals to delay the trial of the case on its merits"
 MT. Alcorn said he would file a motion in the supreme court to erase the appeal. No session of the court will be held until October, however.
 MT. Alcorn urged Judge Inglis not to comply with the request for the fact finding, flor that would dig nifty the appeal"
 Has No Discretion
 Judge Inglis settled the issue by stating, T haven't any discretion in this matter. This court has no right to preclude any litigant from appealing any of it's decisions"
 "The only court to decide if the appeal is proper is the supreme court" he continued.
 q must and will make such a finding" he terminated.
 Attorney Crawford took excep- tion to the remarks of MT. Alcorn that he was trying to delay the proceedings by appealing. 'Is States Attorney Willis of Bridge port trying to delay the proceedings in the Merritt Parkway case" de- manded Crawford. "If he is, then I am trying to delay this one."
 Willis Has Appealed
 Willis has appealed to the su- preme court from the decision of Judge Baldwin, opening the grand jury minutes in that case.
 T have no thought of delay" roared MT. Crawford.
 Attorney Benjamin Slade, who has also appealed to the higher court on the grand jury minutes question, requested 8 stipulation of

 His first appointment was on Januaray l, 1871, as assistant at St.. Patrick,s church, Collinsville, where he remaianed until 1873. In that year he was transferred to St. Roses church, Meriden.
