Among the bills he vetoed was one for the building of a statewide system of state roads, a cause he supported but chose to sacrifice for fiscal prudence and accountability. Stuart was, however, able to achieve several of his central legislative priorities. He secured labor laws that restricted children under age 14 from working in heavy industry. He also improved oversight of the healthcare field and authorized the construction of the Mont Alto Sanitorium to treat tuberculous patients. Stuart Hall on the campus of Penn State University is named in honor of Governor Stuart. He is buried at West Laurel Hill Cemetery, Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania. Legacy In 1893 Philadelphia launched a fireboat named after Stuart.
