the State and the Treasurer. Would you change, then, the

2

composition of the Board of Public Works, or would you

3

leave it with the Governor, the Comptroller and the

4

Treasurer?

GOVERNOR TAWES: Well, I think the Board of Public

6

Works of the State now should be reorganized, and I hope

7

the Constitution might provide for that.

8

MR. ENEY: How would you reorganize it?

9

GOVERNOR TAWES: Well, we are now being bur-

10

dened with so many trivial matters that come before the

11

Board. The membership of the Board could well be establish

12

with a three-member Board. I think maybe that the legis-

13

lative branch of the government should be represented on

14

the Board of Public Works as a minority member, and then I

15

think either the State Treasurer, or the State Comptroller,

16

or the Attorney General might be the third member; I am

17

not sold on which of the three, and then the responsibility

18

of the Board of Public Works, I think, have reached a time

19

now — for instance, the Board of Public Works met last

20

Friday, a week ago tomorrow, v; e started at 10 o'clock in

21

the morning, and we didn't finish the work of the Board
