RUMoRED CONSOLIDATION DENIED.
NOT THOUGHT THAT ST ANDREWS ROMAN CATH
oLIC CHURCH AND THE CHURCH OF THE
TRANSPORTATION WILL JOIN FORCES.
FOR THE PRESENT AT LEAST.

FOR THE PRESENT AT LEAST.
According to Father Evers. Of ST. Andrews Ro-
man Catholic Church, IN Duane-st., and Father
Mclaughlin, of the Church OF the TRANSPORTATION,
In hottest the rumor that these two churches are
TO consolidate in the near future is without foun-
dalton.
This step has been talked OF for some time, and
Il Is believed by some that II will in time take
place. St. Andrews Church. It is said has a
gregaton that is almost too small for Its successful
continuation and ever since the uptown trend Of
parishioners began 1t has been left behind In much
the same way as have the downtown churches OF
other denominations The prevalent idea concern
Ing the consolidation is that the st. Andrews prop
erty is to be sold, and the church is then to be
merged In the Church Of the TRANSPORTATION.
IF such thing to happen soon,' said
Father Mclaughlin yesterday. II would be the
first hear OF IT. and have not heard OF 1t yet.
do not think this step would be taken until the
rapid transit question is settled anyhow II Is
likely that of the terminals OF the new system
will be near the st. Andrews Church site, In
Duane-st, and in that the property OF the
church would. Of course. be enhanced In value.
Until 1t is known just what effect the new rapid
transit system VIII nave on the property 1t Is not
likely that sale will take place. Tnen again, my
congregation is almost entirely Italian while that
OF st. Andrews Church Is mostly English. II the
latter church were to be discontinued, it's congre-
cation would more naturally join the congregation
OF St. James's Church, which is an English speak
ing church. II Is true that a union OF the Church
OF the TRANSPORTATION and st. Andrews Church
has been talked OF, but am sure such thing will
not happen for long time"
Father Evers said he had heard nothing to the
effect that the rumored consolidation would
become fact. and he added that In his opinion 1t
No confirmation could be obtained yesterday OF
the report that a redistribution was about TO be
made of Roman Catholic parishes throughout the

REMEDIES SUGGESTED
For these abuses Mr.. Moss makes the follow
Ing suggestions:
II the Board OF Public improvements be re-
tanned its proportion of elected members should
be increased by removing the Corporation Coun-
sci and giving TO the borough presidents vote
on all measures. But II is respectfully submit
ted that II is practicable TO relieve the city en-
tirey OF the unwiedy and expensive burden OF
the Board This could be accomplished by en-
larging the class OF matters which local boards
and presidents may adopt or send directly TO the
Municipal Assembly and by directing the vari-
Gus Commissioners TO meet with the Mayor at
stated intervals, or at his call, for the co-ordi
mating OF their plans for improvements. giving
them the former power OF the Commissioner OF
Public Works subject TO the concurrence Of the
Municipal Assembly, or Of the Mayor and Con-
troler or Board Of Estimate and Apportion-
ment The typographical duties could be de-
volved on one OF the departments.
II has been suggested that the president OF
each borough might be required TO perform the
duties in his borough which formerly devoved
on the Commissioner Of Public Works thus d.
vidng the labor Of public improvements by ter
ritorial lines rather than by classes OF work.
The Board Of Estimate and Apportionment
should be continued in full power and effect but
IL should be relieved OF the Corporation Coun-
sci and the President OF the Tax Department.
IL should have the right 10 issue bonds 10 pay
all Indebtedness that has lawfully occurred and
all bonds expressly authorized by the Legis-

Mr.. Moss first takes up the DOCK department
and says:
Sections $40 and sol OF the charter imply a
right for the Dock Commissioners acting unani-
mous;y to award contracts without public let
ting even though the amounts exceed $1,000
when the work Is for repairs or TO make the
waterfront conform to the established water
front plan Of the city. This provision has been
stretched so that thousands of barrels OF cement
have been bought on treasury orders from the
J. p. Kane Company, with which Mr.. CAROLS
brother is associated; immense dredging orders
have been given 10 the Morris & Cummings
Company owned by James ID. Leary a promi-
nent friend OF Tammany; thousands OF wooden
piles have been bought from Naughton Co.
hitherto mentioned; lange paving works have
been given to Senator Plunkltt and his son. and
over $75. 900 worth Of treasury orders have been
issued to the Uvalde Asphalt Company to repair
good granite pavement by taking 1t up. relaying
II and placing asphalt on top OF IT, along GER
tain pier fronts. This company gets its orders
without competition OF any kind.
These treasury orders. at the time they were
shown to the committee. amounted TO about
100000 and have been growing ever since.
They seem to us to be largely violations or eva
sions OF a statute which permitted large
amount Of discretion. because OF the necessity
Of securing prompt work under conditions often
limited competition. in protecting the water
front against storm and tide-and yet such a
power, plainly abused. should be safeguarded.
and we recommend that the unanimous vote Of
the Dock Board be not effective unless approved
by the Mayor and the Controller.
Regarding the Tax Department. Mr.. Moss
says:
The Tax Commission is characterized. at least
in its majority. by the close and exalted rela-
ton Of It's members with Tammany. and by the
utter lack Of direction advice or control by the
Mayor in its very important functions.
REFORMS IN TAX OFFICE
Mr. Moss then quotes freely from the evil
dence OF the Tax Commissioners to show their
utter incompetence for the work intrusted TO
them and the arbitrary and grossly partial
manner in which they levy assessments and
suggests these reforms
First-The abolition Of personal taxes In
dividuals unless the Legislature Is willing TO
require the making OF statements by all resi-
dents in some such way was planned for the
National Income Tax law.
Standardization for more thorough ex-
animation OF corporations than is now prac
tised
Third-Provision for the separate valuation Of
land and the improvements thereon. the result
OF which is to compel examination Of each par
ticular piece OF property. The bill proposed by
the Tax Reform Association is worthy OF con-
sderation on this point

 therefore recommend and request the people of Arizona to set apart and observe the day designated in grati- tude and thankful praise to the "Be- nificent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be-" for the gracious favOrs with which we have been blessed. Arizona has great reason for thanksgiving. The development of our immeasurable natural wealth has been remarkable. Our great mineral riches are becoming known and appre- ciated throughout the world. Agricul- ture, horticulture, grazing and every industry in which our people are en- gagged, have been exceedingly prosper ous and profitable. Health and happi- ness prevail. Our salubrious climate is unexcelled on earth. Let us meet to- gether on the day appointed, in our homes and places of worship, and with humble spirits and grateful hearts render joyful praise to the Giver of all good.
 Let us on this occasion profit by the teachings of the all-wise God, ''love one another, forgive our enemies" and ''do good to them that hate us." In the sanctity of contented homes, assem- bled at bountiful repasts, in happy communion with relatives and friends, let the spirit of forgiveness prevail, that we may be sruer to our fellow-men and to ourselves, and more deserving

where the Crabs Come In.

When school of menhaden make
their way into bay, they may stay
for days swimming around in one re-
gion. Larger fishes, including perhaps
some sharks, feed upon them there.
From such feeding there are more or
less fragments that sink down through
the water, and the various crabs and
other crustaceans come scuttling from
all parts of the bay to get them. Tt
may be that the tide carries some Of
the litter about, or perhaps the crabs
and other creatures smell it, as bluefsh
scent the bait that is used in chum-
ming, but when school of menhaden
are preyed upon at the surface all the
crabs in the bay congregate on the mud
below to catch the crumbs that fall. -
