 Such reports as these latter, how ever, were usually presented during the first six months of the year subsequent to that reported on due to the extent of the subject matter and the time necessary for com piling and printing It is not be- lieyed that it will be possible to present such elaborate reports as these to the mayor by February Is, particularly financial reports, due to the fact that the city does not close it's books for the year until January 3l, one month after the end of the fiscal period.

progressive things in this report is the strong argument for research on the chronic diseases and education of staff, employees and patients of the hospitals themselves. It meant to us that there are some people in Hart ford who have gone far beyond the kind of thinking that gave us our dreary, hopeless state institutions of the past. The present report sees the need and possibility of tackling the chronic diseases and wiping them out just as medical scholars and public health services have succeeded in practically eliminating many of the diseases that used to kill so many of us year after year.
 We believe we are speaking for labor everywhere when we say that these recommendations of the Pulp lie Welfare Council are good ones and must be enacted into legisla- ton at this session of the General Assembly.
