Here are the leading features of the message Mayor Low pent to- day to the Board of Aldermen: The city’s gross indebtedness increased $22,241,191 during the year. Unnecessary taxes collected on account of the sinking fund, $8,500,000, He recommends the passage of a bill by the Legislature which will obviate the necessity of tying up city revenues in the sinking fund by issuing general fund bonds. the city’s power to perform needed The extension of an eastern Jerome Park, an extension of the action within the year. He says the placing of a full assensment on real eatate will increase public work. REFORMS IN TRANSIT. He advocates four new trolley car loops at this end of the Brooklyn Bridge, while it is stated that no perfect plan has yet been suggested for connecting the Brooklyn and Williamsburg bridges. route of the municipal subway to subway to the Battery and another tunnel to Brooklyn are being planned and will be ready, he says, for The agitation concerning the elevated and surface car conditions as to crowding, he asserts, is indorsed, but the Mayor says it should not stop until the conditions for employees are improved, single department; that is to say, It has been placed under tho oversigat of the Rapid Transit Commission.

Relatives Say That of Man Killed by Train Was Taken from Morgue to Dissecting Room by Forged Order. RECOVERED JUST IN TIME. (Speriai to The Evening Worlt.) |. §.—The police are seeking to learn the truth In the case of Charies Rouse. whose body was found by his relatives in the dissecting room of the Yale Medical School, The relatives charge that fraud and con- aplracy were used to have the body re- moved from the Morgue and demand an Investigation. Rouse was killed by a train at New London Christmas Day and his bedy was taken to the Morgue. A man, say Ing his name was Stennett, called with an order purporting to be signed by Mre. Rouse &nd took the body away, Had not this been vacation time at the medical school the body would have been dissected. The relatives declare that Rouse was not married and that the order was a forgery and a fraud. The Yalo author- ities say that no one of the name of Stennett 1s employed by the echool, and an effort is being made to find the man, an excellent description having b given by the authorities at the Morgue. Dean H. E. Smith has also started an Investigation, although he declared that the school is blameless, and secured the body in the usual way. ee TIN COMPANY'S NEW PLANT.
