COUNCIL DENIES
ASKING TAX RAISE
Corrects impression That
3O-Cent Increase Was
Recommended.

The Citizens Advisory Council,
through its secretary, Harry N. Stull,
has taken steps to correct an impress
sion that the council recommended
an increase in the District tax rate
for the next fiscal year from $l.40 to
$40.
When the council held its first
meeting with the District Commits
sioners several days ago, Auditor
Daniel j. Donovan announced that
the appropriations already made by
Congress for the next IL months
would necessitate an increase OF
about 80 cents in the tax rate.
The necessity for this increase was
the amount appropriated at the last
session of Congress, before the coun-
Gil was created. The estimates now
being considered by the council are
for the fiscal year beginning July /,
1925, and will not affect the tax rate
until that time.
Confer on Streets.
A committee of the council com
posed of George c. Havenner, w. l.
Swanton and George H. Richardson
conferred informally yesterday with
c. B. Hunt, engineer of highways, To
get line on the needs of the street
system for next year. This confer
ence was merely preliminary to a
meeting of the full council Monday
night at which Mr.. Hunt will give
a more detailed explanation of the
sum required to bring Washington
upto-date in the matter of street
paving.
The council at its meeting Monday
night also will study the needs OF
the city refuse division In consultation
with Supervisor Morris Hacker.

MERGER HEARING
Counsel for c. & O. Dissent
ing Stockholders Questions
Attitude of Supporter.

Resuming hearings today on the
proposed Van Sweringen Nickel Plate
Railroad consolidation, the Interstate
Commerce Commission listened to
spirited exchanges between John E.
Oldham of Boston, who has testified
the plan would be in the public in
terest. and H. w. Anderson, counsel
for Chesapeake and Ohio protesting
stockholders.
ham, in urging railroad consolidation
generally, had not taken the position
previously that the Chesapeake and
Ohio should be united with the Vir-
ginian and the Norfolk and Western
Railroad, all coal-carrying lines. The
witness agreed that he had.
well, how many more times are
you going to change your mind?" Mr.
Anderson demanded.

in connection with railroad consolida-
ton studies" Mr.. Oldham responded,
land / reserve the right to do it some
more If it becomes necessary"
The witness declared changing con-
ditions as to ownership of existing
railroads would make it necessary to
revise tentative consolidation plans.
He has urged that the Wabash should
be united with the Nickel Plate, but
considered that the Lake Erie and
Western, now a part of the merger,
was a suitable substitute.
W. A. Colston, chief counsel for the
Nickel Plate, at the outset asked the
commission to have the George Cole
Scott committee of protesting Chesa-
peake and Ohio stockholders furnish
a list of names of all stockholders
whom it claimed to represent and to
give other information.

postal authorities here are redoubling
their efforts to completely close the
mails to obscene publications and to
prevent their shipment into Washing
ton via express companies. The
postal and interstate commerce stat
utes governing the situation are as
broad and clear as those controlling
sales in the District of Columbia, and
any case of a violation thatis brought
TO the attention of the postal in.
spectors witt be given immediate in
vestigation.
This effort on the part of the
post Office heads, however, Is not con
fined to Washington. The same fight
is being waged more and more
through the States, and men who
have spent years investigating the
situation declared that with the same
cooperation Of the courts and the
Government prosecutors that has been
accorded in Washington they could
sweep the entire country clean OF
salacious literature and revolving art u
within a few months.

CONSERVATIVES WAIT
FOR LIBERALS TO ACT
Former Have Greatest Strength in
Canadian House of Com
mons Now.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
OTTAWA, Ontario, November O.
The Conservatives will hold the great
est number of seats in the next House
of Parliament. Already they have
elected 116 members, the Liberals 100
Progresives %, Labor and Independ
ent I. Three constituencies are still
in doubt.
Premier Mackenzie King will meet
his cabinet this afternoon to discuss
his course Of action. 1t is expected
that he will decide to remain in office
and meet parliament.
The Conservatives are adopting an
attitude of watchful waiting; until
the Liberal premier announces his in
tentions they decline to make any Of
fetal pronouncement.
At the same time the feeling among
Conservatives is that Premier King
would have no Justification for such a
course. They take the ground that
the defeat of so many members of
his cabinet, coupled with the ma.
jorities reported against the gov.
ernment candidates. is evidence that
the government has lost the support
of the country. and should resign.
