NEW HAVEN HARROR TIDES.

A Record During The Last Six Months
 A Difference of Eleven Feet Four
 And One-Half Inches Between The
 Lowest And The Highest Tides
 shown By Actual Measuremenr.
 Captain Edward s. Burt, keeper of the Tomlinson bridge, gives us valuable tidal ob servations taken during the last six months at the instance of the harbor commissioners. They are appended below. He says also that Sunday, December 20th, at $50 p. m. he noted at dead low water the tide by the gauge and found the extreme measurement between the highest tide mark of the past six months made on the guage (Nov. 24th) and the lowest tide mark of the same period, which was made last Sunday, December 20th, was eleven feet four and one-half inches. This interesting fact is positive proof that the record of the tides in our har- bor (with certain conditions, viz, full moon and strong winds) is of great importance not only to navigators, but to those own ing water fronts and wharves, and also has an important bearing with relation to having drainage system for sluicing into the harbor the sewage, similar to the systems ins successful operation in Euro pean seaport towns.

THE ASSEMBLY TO DECIDE.

Shall the Town and City Governments
 be COnsOIidated-Forma Notice of .
 Petition For the Same Presented to
 the City Hall OmcIals-Annex People
 Protesting.
 Constable Jonathan W. Pond yesterday presented copy of an official notice to Town Agent Reynolds, City Clerk Willett and Charles E. Bray, clerk of the borough of Fair Haven East. It is a petition for legis lation to consolidate the governments of the town and city of New Haven and the bor- ough of Fair Haven East.
 Another document presented gave warning to the city and to the borough of Fair Haven East to appear before the General Assembly at it's next session on the above subject.
 Prominent citizens of the Annex who were interviewed yesterday say: All we ask is to be let alone We made fair bargain when we gave our consent to be taken into the town. This bargain was that we were to be governed by a town government, not city government, and have 8 new and free Tom linson bridge. We said we could not afford to be taken into the city, as our lands would not bear city taxation. We will resist every effort to consolidate and are joined by large majority of the taxpayers of Westville and many of the heaviest taxpayers residing with in the city limits, who say the scheme IS ill- timed and unnecessary and will breed much bad feeling both in the city and the town.

TAxPAYERs, ASSOCIATION.


Annual Meetfng-Election of Officers
 The Executive COmIntttee's Report.
 The second annual meeting of the Taxpay- ers' association was held last evening in the Insurance building. The treasurer and the executive committee presented their reports, and the election of officers for the ensuing year, which followed the reading of the re- ports, resulted as follows: President, Jo ell A. Sperry; vice presidents, Eli Whitney, E. F. Mersick; secretary and treasurer, John T. Sloan; executive committee, JohnB. Adriance, Isaac Anderson, Charles L. Baldwin, Sim E. Baldwin, R. P. Cowles, James D. Dewell, J. NJ. B. Dwight, Henry w. Earn am, John Ruff, Sylvester Smith, Ezekiel G. Stoddard, A. N. Wheeler, James Gallagher, Thomas Hooker, Edward A. Lawrence.
 The time for the annual meeting was changed from December 30 to Novem- Der 30, or one month earlier than form merly
 The matter of laying an annual tax on the members was referred to the executive com mittee with power to act.
 From the report of the executive committee we glean the following: In the first part of their report the committee refer to their in vestigations into the affairs of the town, city and school district and give facts and figures of the methods of managing town affairs and the expenses attending the same. They find that $9, 156. IA was expended on election ac count and $10, 065. 08 for salaries, and express the opinion that "both of these amounts may be somewhat reduced"
 In regard to the assessors, the committee are of the opinion that the duties can be per- formed by three men at salary of $1, 800 each.
 They also refer at considerable length to the "Doherty case" and in conclusion say that the committee has formally requested MT. Doolittle, the State s attorney, to bring the case against Dr. Doherty to trial as soon as possible, land it is hoped that it will be heard at the January term"
 Regarding the school district the commit tee believe that ''when the estimates for next year are proposed some saving in the cost of maintaining schools will be made.''
 The committee dwell at considerable length on the consolidation of the town and city governments and conclude as follows: 'It is clearly unwise and extravagant to SUD- port two governments where one would do the work, and New Haven should follow the example of all cities of her population in having all of her municipal business trans acted under the restrictions of city char ter

 The last two entries above give the dates of the highest and lowest tides of the past six months. On Sunday last the lowest low tide occurred and on Nov. 24th the highest high tide.
 The tides are running unusually low now the moon having fulled yesterday st p. m It is generally considered that 1a from two or three days after the full and change of moon we have in New Haven harbor the lowest and highest tides. The first notice of this conjunction of influences in our neighbor hood was made by Adrian Block, in the year 1914, when he located the harbor of the Red Mounts on his chart, the first chart made of Long Island Sound.

THE REPUBLICAN LEAGUE.

Annual MeetinG-The Choice of Off,
 cers and Directors For the Ensuin 2
 Year Last Night.
 The Republican League held it's annual meeting for the election of officers last even ing at it's house, No. 1,032 Chapel street. The following officers were elected: President, Thomas R. Trowbridge, jr.; vice presidents, Arthur D. Osborne, Tredwell Ketcham, Sam uel E. Merwin, jr., Henry F. Peck, James D. Dewell secretary, A. H. Kellam; treasurer John A. Richardson; trustees, Henry 5. Harrison, Henry E. Pardee, Frank E. Spen cer; executive committee, J. P. c. Foster, Hi Whitney, jr., George E. Maltby, Williai.. P. Futile; auditors, Edward c. Beecher, Benjamin E. Brown. The executive com mittee consists of twelve members, four of which are chosen annually. The eight members of the committee holding over are Lynde Harrison, E. s. Greeley, s. J. Fox, F. H. Hart, Charles H. Farnan, H. P. Hubbard, George B. Martin, Charles $. Mersick.
 The league begins it's second year on sound financial basis. Its club house is the elegant residence built by the late G. F. Warner and is situated in front of the Carll Opera House. During the year the league has furnished its house, making such alterations as were necessary to suit it for club purposes, and has given several pleasant receptions, the largest of which was given during the last spring to His Excel lency Henry B. Harrison. The treasurer's report read last evening showed substantial balance.
 The league takes part in the selection of candidates for office and no petitions or rec concentrations for office have ever been cir culated in the league. As the past year has 1>,a #, kl-a has had no opportunity to show it's strength in the support of candidates nominated by Republican conventions for federal CT State offices, but during the campaign of 1886 and 1888 the league will doubtless open it's doors many occasions for all Republi- cans and exert the united influence of all it's members for the success of Republican prin- cip1es

TEE SAMPSON MINE.
A Meeting of The stockholders of The Mime Held In This CitY YesteKdaY.

A Meeting of The Stockholders of The
 Mine Held Nm This City Yesterday.
 At meeting of the stockholders of the Sampson mine held yesterday in this city Superintendent Hamilton made & statement that the mine had been unp1oftable of late and that the money used up in improve ments. The mine had consequently shut down.
 The stockholders decided, as they owe about $75, ,000, including trust fund of s1O, GOO, to issue $1OO, 1000 in bonds and to have the heavy creditors, except MT. Hamil- ton, who owns the trust fund, take bonds for their indebtedness and the stockholders to take bonds to the amount of fifty cents on each share held.
 Another meeting of the stockholders will be held at Good Samaritan hall Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock. A gentleman in this city yesterday received letter from a man in Denver, Colorado, who is interested in the Sampson mine, which stated that the mine was good one if worked right, and that it looked to him as though efforts were being made to freeze out the stockholders and advising the stockholders in this city to a consolidation of stock to control the mine.
