THE CHURCH AND BUSINESS

The Butte (Montana) Miner, IN q very
temperate and well written article, en-
titled THE Mormon church and Bust
ness falls into some errors which
ought 10 be pointed out, for its onlight-
eminent and the information Of other
papers which draw conclusions from
premises furnished by antl-"Mornon'

Annexation.

Several years ago the city of New
York enlarged its borders by taking IN
Brooklyn and other neighboring towns,
and made itself one of the largest and
most populous cities in the world. 1t was
wise move. and the, experiment has
proven to he eminently successful and
satisfactory.
Later on Pittsburg and Allegheny City
consolidated and made Greater Plttsburg.
In Virginia Danvile annexed North
Danville. thriving town across the
river. and citizens OF both communities
are pleased with the consolidation.
Norfolk began to take in her neighbour
ing towns years ago. First she annexed
Brambleton; then Atlantic City and Hunt
ersville. and finally Client. one of the
most beautiful residential towns in the
State. All hands were so we'll pleased
that Berkeley, n town of 10000 inhabitants
Under the terms, the city is to expend
in Berkley Ward each year for five years
5000, and to provide for the territory
taken in, as soon as possible. eight paid
firemen. one sergeant of police and nine
patrolmen. Norfolk is to assume 10000
of per cent. bonds issued by the school
board of Washington District. and $4,000
as the share OF the town of Berkeley in
the debt of Norfolk county.
In the meantime Richmond has done
nothing in the way of expansion. save to
take in Lee District. That was years
ago, and a new city in that section is
rapidly building. We are now hlggling
over the proposal to take in Manches-
ter, and all sorts OF captious objections
are raised. II has not occurred to the
citizens of Berkley that Norfolk city will
fail to carry out her agreement and
make the promised Improvements.
Are We really slower than other COM
munities? Are we not trespassing too
much upon our boosted conservatism?
