ned service and that the revenue cut
ter service be consolidated with the
lighthouse service in the department
or commerce and labor.
BY the first change. the President
said congress could effect a saving
OF at least S10.0OO.0OO annually and
although In this message he gave no
hgures for the consolidation OF the
Two services OF the sea. In previous
message on the same subject early in
the year. he predicted economies that
would total about $1,000 900 yearly.
The President concluded his mes
sage with an appeal to congress to
. appropriate the 100000 necessary to
support the economy efficiency com.
mission for another year with $4,000
additional for the publication OF the
