Hartford March 31 The state highway board considered whether Connecticut should cooperate with other states to finance a federal bureau to gather and distribute road construction methods.

Separately the military, motor vehicles, health, and Fairfield County assessor departments received various appropriations and transfers, including 50,000 for Camp Devens encampment, 17,735 to pay April bills, 3,129 for April 1 bills, and 4,500 to operate health until May 1, plus 1,400 for special acts printing.
