GOVERNOR URGES MANY REFORMS Fielder Points to Healthy Condition of Stato Treasury. SECOND ANNUAL MESSAGE

Favor# Larger Appropriations Foil Many Public Institutions — Points Oui Need c* Conservation of Natural 1 Resources — Much of His' Message Urges Necessity of Better Roads Would More Rigidly Supervise. Railread Rates. Trenton. N. J., Jan. It— Following Is the second anneal message of James F. Fielder, governor of New Jersey, to the one hundred and fortieth session of the state legislature: Gentlemen of the Senate and Genera) Assembly— It gives me considerable satisfaction to be able to Inform you that the financial condition of the state M better than ffJr several years. At the opening of the preceding session of the leglalatuie a state tax or a bbnd Issue was thought Imperative !©- raise the money required to meet the appro 'friatlons for state departments and Inattentions for the fiscal year Nov. 1, 1814. to Oct 31. 1915. but It later became apparent that the direct inheritance tax act of 1914 would provide i the necessary funds. The fact Is that , while no additional revenue was provided by the legislature of last year. -■ spward of $2,000,000 v--ere added to the : state's Income by the act referred to. : The requisition act of 1914 also help- : •d, In that It gave the state's financial officers a proper supervision and I control over all expenditures of money ' and provided a much needed check i Sgalnst the prevalent practice of In- < •wring obligations In excess of appro i priations. The latter act also made It 1 possible for the comptroller to keep 1 account not only of disbursements, but 1 also of the state's contractual oblige 1 tlons, so that for the first time within 1 Sty recollection of state affairs the 1 statement of our financial condition at the close of a fiscal year Included among the liabilities all Items for ] which the state was bound on uncom- 1 1 pleted contracts, and the statement to | I Nov. I, 1915, therefore shows exactly • Where we stand. The reports whlcb I I the comptroller and treasurer will pre ' i sent to you show that at the close of i j )abr business year, Oct. 31. 1915. with i •very outstanding. obligation provided j i for > and deducted, we bad an actual !t and not\a~^fictltlous balance Ih the i treasury amounting to $305,421.01. . This balance, though smnlL has the | great merit of being real, and we start | ( the new year knowing that we have t money In band. Tn former years the 1 statements of cash balances, besides j | taking no account of outstanding con- i tracts, Included as much as two nod ' ; three-quarter million dollars of mil- j | road taxes belonging to municipalities i for their schools, but the balance 1 ! i have mentioned does hot Include one , i cent of Such taxes. J I Favors Larger Appropriations. j 1 Considering that the legislature of j 1 last year provided no additional state j 1 revenue apd was not snre what the 1 state's Income would be. It showed \ I wisdom in placing the appropriations | ' for the current year at the very low- ; I est figure. Because that appropriation 1 I act has been In force bnt little more < than two months. It may not be pos- < aible to say definitely at this time i whether the state departments and In ' I stitutlons can be run ten months long- 1 I •r od the sums alloted to them; but. I 1 comparing the estimates of their needs ! . with their appropriations, I think manyl i have not been given sufficient. For i < example, the repeated requests of tail stltutlons for enlarged accommodations l with which to meet the demands on ' l them cannot much longer be ignored, i Mare money than was made available ! l for the current year Is needed by all . j th« new departments created under | IN so called economy and efficiency , MB* The state board of children's , guardians must have additional funds 1 | with which to perform the duties I in . , posed upon It by the widows' pension , act, new buildings must be erected for , the ever Increasing number of the In- , sane, the state printing board cannoi , print the reports of departments and < —missions with the money given it. the national guard must have a further allowance, or the encampment at •es Girt will again be abandoned; the , additional circuit court Judge which . the legislature thought necessary must , be provided with a salary, or he can- , not be appointed, and the department , of banking and insurance requires a . larger appropriation far the prompt , and efficient examination of the finan- j rial condition of our building and loan associations. These and similar cases j Which 1 could Instance will, I know. Mcaivc your careful thought Our I •nances will not permit us to do all 1 we might wish, but we must not crip^ , yks our state work. Believing that the ' | anm realised last year under the direct tabarttance tax lew Will be equaled, if not exceeded, this year and that the i ether sources of state Income will I •bow the usual increase. 1 feel you epa safely grant many of the requests Which <IU1 surely be presented to yon t 1m further appropriations. Would Conserve Resource* ■ The conservation gf the state's nat a aral resources deserves earnest consid I era Hoc a policy has been adopted for I the eoaservatloa of our potable water a

I which will Boon make an Important I supply In North Jersey available for I the people of that section. The propn 1 1 sltiou to acquire a south Jersey tract | of land, known as the Wharton trsri ' with Its water flow-age, was aathinHled | to the voters nt the last genera: elce tion and was rejected. I am satisfle 1 j that this result occurred* because little ' j information was In the possession ol ; any state board or department to give, to the people to enable tbem to judge j of the meritR of- the propositi) u. it i was defeated by a majority of ai-Vlli _ j out of a total of 227.451 votes cast for i ' and against it. while at the same eleo ■| tlon there w ere 415.286 votes polled f«v j candidates for office. That la nearly 50 per cent of those who voted at tlw ' j election refrained from voting on th( 1 1 water proposition, presumably because 1 1 they did not understand It The coun ! ties of Essex. Hndson and Passale, . whose residents have learned by ex perlence the importance of state ownership of water soppllee, gave a ma Jority of 14.817 In favor of the propost- , tlon, while In all other counties It waa r defeated. 1 believe that the time will | come when the ownership of water rights will be of vital Importance to the people of south Jersey and that we should not wait until that time to eonI alder the acquisition of the Wharton i tract. Only a careful examination of , the property by experts can produce , the facta upon which to base an Intelligent opinion, and I would prefer that those facts be presented to the legislature, where they can he examined and discussed and where It can be deter mined whether or not£fhe proposition has sufficient marit to be again submitted to the people for their approval or rejection. I, therefore, recommend that you empower the state water supply commission or the department of conservation and development to make or have made an expert examination of the tract in question and adjoining tracts for the purpose of determining whether any part thereof should be acquired by the state, and. if so, how much; what the probable value thereof may and that the report, with the detailed information obtained, be made to you or to the next legislature for de termination as to whether the people should tie asked to vote upon the ques tlon of a bond Issue for the purchase of such property and water right* Of course the direction to investigate should be accompanied by an appropri- ' atlon of sufficient funds to make the investigation thorough. Good Road Legislation. A committee was appointed by the legislature to revise road leglslatlon and (o lay down a road policy for j the state. I hope Its Investigations j will result In a report which will form J the basis for intelligent legislation, bei cause the most important and difficult 1 problem now pressing for solution Is the improvement aud maintenance of our roudt. I 'roper provision for vehk- I nlar transportation !«•- of rotai moment. I not only to our business interest* but j the aid the states should give In | | preparation for national defense In- j eludes a system of highways desirable 1 and sultahlo fbr military reason* The and insistent demand for ' good rouds luipo-es upon the legislature I t the duty of providing them. A. few I I ago pleasure travel was not so j ! great, and freight, material and com ' mod I lies of all kinds were generally transported by rail or water. We were then chiefly concerned with the lin- [ J of a few main arteries, so that the farmer and manufacturer! j could get their supplies and products I I and from nearby railroad or water ' shipping points, or the local markets. j ] wagon, but we must now reckon with the autouioblh We average out- ! automobile for every thirty -two of our j population, which tneaus about six automobiles to every mile of our roads, excluding city streets. The commis- 1 sloner of public roads. In his report I for the year recently closed, estimates than an automobile paying an annual | I fee of $7.50 and making 6,000 allies a year, damages - ie roads to the | i extent of $30 or $35. while the damage j i caused by the ordinary two horse team and wagon will not cost over $8 ' to replace. It Is. therefore, evident | that the general use of a- 'omoblles i for pleasure and business purposes j adds tremendously to the traffic bur- ; dens the roads must bear, and thus the new and difficult problem Is presented to u* The commissioner of ' public roads also estimates the total 1 mileage of the state, exclusive of streets, at 15.000;. of which 10,500 are still unimproved, and be says It will cost $51,300,000 to properly Improve the whole mileage. The state's share of this expense would be about $15.The annual appropriations heretofore made have been as liberal as the financial condition of the state would permit, and it does not seem possible te materially Increase them. Last year the appropriation to the state road fund $500,000. in addition to which there was the convict labor appropriation and the motor vehicle fund, from , which sources the state actually disbursed for road construction and re- < pair' the sum of $1,235,100.23 as foi lows: Construction.

Would Readjust Entire Policy. Should the counties be willing to unAertake the Improvement of all their roads with Mate aid. and,, should the - state be able to appropriate $500,000 annually thirty years would elapse beall the roads could be built, and la the meantime some of those lmprov-* a# will have worn oui" and will require ' '

g^ tartlai. If not whole. -rec<Auntikm.—M >t k apparent that cur policy of road ir maintenance and construction requires i readjustment, because we cannot, un■i der the plan now pursued, properly i maintain our roads with the .added ;1 uses to which they are put aud keep pace with the progress the state demands Jn building new highway* Oihe er states, recognizing the iiiH«ortance of I good roads lu the development of the state's municipalities and Industrie* •- are spending vast sums for this pur t pose How then shall we secure the it money the state needs? It Is not wise r or expedient to raise all the money re- < quired at once. The counties could noi 1 stand the strain and the road deimrt y men! could not be so organized as t< i' handle the vast amount of work which < would follow au attempt to construct * 10.000 miles of road In one or two > years. Perhaps there should be A slight - Increase In automobile license fees and : a portion of these fees devoted to con- >■ structlon work, but it Is not Just that I automobile owners should bear the '* whole cost, because improved roads * benefit the owners of other vehicles, II they bring more buyers to the merr chants' doqrs; through tbem property 0 owners see increased land values, and e nearly every individual. Including non * road user* gets the benefit of com me r 11 rial automobile travel In quicker and ' .cheaper transportation of commodities e I think, and therefore advise, that th» '* necessary funds should be raised by i ' state tax laid specially for road con j structlon purposes and that the work * should be spread over a period of fifteen years, In which event the state would need a million dollars annually. " or over ten year* for which a\alllion and a half dollars would be required each year. The state board of taxes and assessment has recently reported the assessed valuation of the real and personal property of the state, subject e to local taxation, as $2,583,953,595.29 | To raise $1,000,000 a state tax of less than four-tenths of a mill would be . necessary and a tax of less than filx- . tenths of a mill would niisF$ 1,500,000. ' This small tax, amounting to but 4tT _ or 60 cents on each $1,000 of assessed , valuation, would not be felt, and I be _ ileve would be willingly paid if It were ? to be the means of securing a magnlfl cent road system. » Grades and Bridges Important. ( Alignment, grading and guttering ; | and the construction of bridges Is work - j of a permanent nature, while the foun1 datlon, If skillfully and honestly laid, will last for years and will not need frequent renewal. Annual state ap- , proprlatloDs and the automobile license * fees could be wholly devoted to malnr tenance and resurfacing work, and . thus we could keep our roads In first 3 class condition. But you should also provide for a definite and comprebenI slve system of road malntenace by pas trolling squads, not only for state high f ways, but for every road which the j state aids In maintenance or repair. I The present method of constructing a I I road and then i-ermlttlng It to wear out Is unbusinesslike and wasteful in 1 1 the extreme. 1 The work of the counties on road j building Is also unbusinesslike in that J I It lacks uniformity In policy as to the [ j kind of material used, the method of ; I construction and failure in co-opera- ' j tlon between counties In connecting up !| highways. A policy adopted this year i Is subject to alteration next year I through changes In the board of free- ! ! L holders. The county engineering de- j ' | pertinent and road employees change. ' ' I too. with - haiiges in membership In I r I their boards. , The counties are parts | * of a gn r whole, separated only by a r i stream, by a road or by an Imaginary I * Une. and for the whole a definite pol- j I ley for rua«l o -list ruction should lie ' I laid dow ii by you. to be carried out unrj der the direction of the state depart- ! ; mem. b;- couuty engineers, supervisors.1 * and Inspectors -uo should he experts. ' ' protected by tenure of office and not i I subject to every political change that! Development of School* j . The development and iiuprovejflent I ! of our public schools is of the ufmost j Importance In observing the direc | j tlon of the constitution to provide tor I a thorough aud efficient system of free ' public schools for the children of our state you must give thought to the ! ' teacher. New Jersey was one of the | first states to establish a normal school | ' for the training of teachers, but the ; demands of the schools have outstrip | ped our teacher supply, and we employ j | from outside the state teachers almost equal In number to those who are ' graduates of our normal schools. We 1 are now unable to provide accommo- ' ' datlons for all applicants for admls- > 1 ' slon to the normal schools, and our | ■ high school graduates are rapidly In I creasing, and I believe a greater pro- I 1 ' portion of these graduates would be- 1 come normal students and later teach- 1 era In our schools If we could offer the | 1 ' additional normal school facilities now ! denied them. I recommend that you i ' give careful consideration to the de- 1 1 maud which has been voiced for _n- i I other ncrmal school and that the nec- 1 1 essary appropriation be made therefor. ' ; The legislature of 1913 made provi- • Won for the promotion of vocational I education, offering state aid to those I districts desiring to establish and main tain this form of instruction, but limit Ing the auuual expenditure of state i funds to . $80,000. Largely as a result / i sf this legislation more than 7.000 per-' sons were enrolled In. vocational day i end evening classes during the school year ending June 30. 1915. Of this number more than 1.000 were boys and , girls and upward of 6.000 were young ' men and young women. The popular! I ty of this very practical form of edu I cation lias ter'a'nly liren demonstrat- I i ed. and In a state so cousplcnonsly in- I i dua trial as ours it seems fitting that I this useful line of instruction' should I i be property encouraged. To do this it < will be necessary to raise the limit ot , the annual expenditure fixed by the act •

a ta* and that further fends be pros Tided to carry on this system of education now no well established. y Public Service Rate* I would direct your attention to what P appears to be an unintentional, or. If ^ intentional, then an improper; limitation upon the power of the board of public utility commlasia&ers-to supervise and e regulate rates or charges to be fixed J- or made by the public utilities of our state. It Is contended that under the e public utilities act chapter 195 of the J- j laws of mil. the board is without pow- " ' cr to compel g common carrier to Initiate a rate and that its jurisdiction Is limited to the review of rates now ' In existence or which may be volun- " tarily proposed by the carrier. This point Is directly presented In proceed tags In which many south Jersey com muters are Interested, now pending before the board,' to compel certain rallroads to sell certain forms of tickets for transportation to and from their [ Camden terminals, similar in form to ' those sold between Philadelphia and ^ New Jersey stations, so that Camden j users of these tickets may not be com- \ pelled to pay for ferriage they do not use. The question Is also interesting to north Jersey travelers who use the ] ' Hudson and Manhattan railroad and 1 whose Journey ends at Hoboken or Jer , 1 sey City, but who are forced ty pay for , ' transportation they do not require be- , yond the limits of the state. The Penu- . aylvanla railroad, against which the 1 south Jersey commuters complain. Issues special forms of tickets at special 1 rates, Available for transportation be- 1 ' tween Philadelphia and potata An New - ! Jersey, and also issues such tickets between Philadelphia and other points in . Pennsylvania, but It refuses to Issue the same kind of tickets between New Jersey Intrastate points. Thus thlp carrier maintains a practice, for Interstate • transportation and for transportation j ; wholly within the state of Pennsylva- ! nla which it refuses to follow within the state of New Jersey, t hereby. discriminating against our state, from '' . which it holds a valuable franchise, and It contends that the board created to protect the rights of our citizens is Without power under our law to compel It to give us the same privileges the company accords to citizens of our neighboring state. It seems entirely proper and fair that • the board should have the power to « Inquire Into the justness and reason- 1 ■ ableness of this difference In practice, 1 and If found unjust, discriminatory or preforentlal against our citizens to or- ' der that the railroads sell us the satae form of ticket they offer for interstate 1 1 <av Intrastate travel and fix the rate 1 therefor. 1 therefore recommend that ' 1 an amendment or supplement to our 1 public utility act be passed which will -vest in the board of public utility commissioners the power to order carriers operating In New Jersey to Issue any { form of ticket the board may deem proper for Intrastate travel and to fix the rate therefor or to require such'j - 1 carriers to put Into effect forms of tick- , t eta and classifications of rates for I transportation similar to those cover- 1 < tag transportation on Its lines between | , points in any other state or In Interstate commerce. 1 also recommend i I that this power be made general, so . that the board may not be limited to ' i . the review only of those rales Initiated 1 j by public utilities, but that It be aui thorized to fix and establish special 1 ( rates for services when the conditions ( | may appear to the board to warrant I I a*™ ; Favors Fewer Shorter Law* j Through previous messages your at- | tentlon has l>een called to what I be- ! Ueve to be the seutlment of the people | of our state In favor of a short, husl- , I nessllke session and fewer laws. Each , - legislature announces Its determine- | tlon to dispose of Its business speedily. I but the regular session of last year j . j consumed fifteen weeks. 413 laws and I six Joint resolutions were enacted, and a special session was necessary to cor- ( t rect defects In the act providing for j the submission of constitutional amend- 'I | ments. I know of no reason for pro- 1 j longing this session, and it seems to I f ! me quite possible to dispose of all nec- | j essarv legislation in a period of two' | legislative months. 1 recognize that H j tin time consumed by the appropria I I tlon committee in preparing the an- ia | nual and supplemental appropriation j I bills places an obstacle ta the way of ' | a abort session. Other legislative du- ]( ! ties required of members of this com- j J mlttee interfere with and lengthen Its |j bearings, and the legislative session frequently drags along awaiting the; I completion of these bills, whlcb when jS j finally ready are rushed through the C ; legislature, hut few members knowing i i anything of their contents. 1 suggest l as a plan for facilitating the business I of this committee and shortening the I ) session that on or about Feb. 1 you K take a recess of four weeks, during which time the appropriation commit j I tee shall sit frequently and have lu L ready when you reconvene, and I | that after the recess no more than | j I four weeks he devote' to legislation j( I Thl9 method would give you and the C public a chance to examine the appropriation bills liefore they are passed. It would materially shorten the ses- J 1 rlon and would result in 'fewer laws. I Itespecrfully. / JAMES F. FIELDER. Governor, f Attest: L EDWARD HERRMANN. Secretary I to the Governor.
