SHERIFF'S AIDS ASK RAISE
Queens Official Would Increase
Salaries by $4,000.

Sheriff Thomas NJ. Quinn OF Queens
County Is Of the opinion that-the city OF
New York ought to be far more liberal
with the employees in that Office than the
oldtIme sheriffs were, and these ideas he
has embodied in the estimate OF expenses
70 his office for the ensuing year. which
has lust been transmitted 10 the Board Of
Estimate. He has suggested increases in
salaries from ST. 500 TO s2G,500.
In former times the Queens Sheriff was
Maid bv fees, and out of an income Of
about sec. 900 he paid his help. When the
Office was placed on salary basis two
wears ago the power TO fix salaries was
yivon to the Board of Estimate, and the
members of this board, thinking that the
salaries paid By the sheriffS themselves
were adequate, took the same rate for the
city. tut the employees in the office have
found that these salaries are lower than
for other city employees, and so they have
persuaded the Sheriff to ask for increases
for them.
Among the increases asked are that the
salaries of tho Under Sheriff and counsel
10 the Sheriff be each increased from So
500. year to $4,000 Deputy SheriffS
want increases from $500 to $3.50.
The total estimated costs Of the ofIlc?
for next year. according to Sheriff QUINN
is s69.147, while the cost for the present
year has been $500

RISE IN PRICE OF COAL
Summer Rates End with the
Coming of September.
DISCOUNT LESS THIS YEAR
Early Winter Will Make It Hard
For Retailers to Fill
Orders.

The regular winter prices OF domestic
anthracite will be resumed to-day. the sum
mer discounts ending with the last day
OF August. The discounts were initiated
many years ago to induce consumers to
I'LL their cellars in tho summer months
when the prepared sizes are easier to
handle than in winter. They begin in
ordinary years with fifty cents a ton dis
count allowed during April the discount
being reduced by ten cents n ton in each
succeeding month until the winter prices
are reached OH the FIRST OF September.
On account OF the suspension of an
thracite mining during April and May
this year large numbers of people who
usually lay in their winter coal in April.
were unable to do so and went on their
vacations, the discount beginning with
thirty cents a ton on the resumption or
mining in June. The consumers Will all.
or nearly all, be back this week and
rush 10 their dealers for winter coal IS
expected. Dealers who were seen yes
terday, said that they were hoping for
a warm spell TO staVe off this rush and
give the operators a chance Of lessening
the inevitable shortage before winter.
The retail schedule prices of stove and
chestnut sizes win now be 81 10 and 81
a ton respectively. chestnut being adj
vanced about a year ago on account of
alleged scarcity Of this size.
In a statement made last evening by
i. ". Saward. manager OF "rhe Coal
Trade Journal" who received reports
last week from different parts OF the
country as 10 the anthracite situation,
no said that New York would be better
off i'm the way OF getting the coal than
many other cities
I'm spite OF this" he continued, indie
pendent operators are charging dealers
i'm many instances a premium ranging
from p to 20 cents a ton on schedule
prices i'm cases where dealers must I'LL

charging only the schedule price TO their
customers. \ warm spell would relieve
the tension good deal just now and, on
the other hand, If the weather became
suddenly colder q rush for winter coal
would be made on the dealers, who would
not be able TO supply the orders.
He said 1t had been reported from Chi
cago that retail hardware dealers
throughout tho West arc canCelling or
