CITY AND COUNTY MERGER ADVISED Buroau of Municipal Rosoarob Calls Union of Two Govern ments Crying Need WOULD AID MAYOR MOORE Consolidation of tho city and the county of Philadelphia, which nre co extensive, was declared "a crying need" today by the Hureau of Munlcl pal nesearch, adding that "n county government functioning In a cltv which Is ns largo a the county, nnd which has Its own city government, is shetr absurdity." A revision of the state constitution would bq necessary, the bureau re minded, to make possible consolidation of the city and county. "Tills Is not to say," the bureau con tinued, "that the Legislature ennnot give Philadelphia centralized purchas ing for city and county, n civil service law for county employes and n fiscal system In which county officers will be subject to Council's control." The points raised by the bureau have been urged repeatedly by Mayor Moore. who wishes to bar the county offices as rrfuges for dismiwea city employes hnstiln to the cltv administration. Councllmsnle control of expenditures by county offices would uo much, it U believed, to cure me niauaarou.i cm which the Mayor Is fighting, his nn tagonlsm being shown strikingly last year by ms veto ot part ot tno .Munici rial Court appropriation.
