Conditions Are Unbelievable Reorganization Seek Funds
Gardner C. Turner of Sullivan told Governor-elect Hugh Gregg that the State Industrial School at Manchester has a ruined reputation with municipal judges refusing to send delinquent children there. East, the new director, requested a 28 percent budget rise for two years to add six staff and reorganize the facility into a rehabilitation center for troubled youths. He described facilities as in disrepair after 17 years in rehabilitation work. The governor-elect also endorsed using state funds to advertise New Hampshire attractions, favoring ski promotion on car inspection stickers and higher planning and development spending. Clarke asked for a 15 percent department budget hike and two-year driver licenses at four dollars. Gregg, elected Nov. 4, intends higher state spending to attract business.
