MODIFY ORDERS IN REGARD TO
 STORE CLOSING

Through their efforts to be patrio- tic in complying with the Bridgeport Fuel Committees orders to shorten their business days to conserve fuel, many merchants after two weeks ob- servance find themselves steering to- ward the bankruptcy court and as a result the committee has amended it's orders to make them conform with the proclamation of Governor M. H. Hol- comb. Commencing Tuesday all places of business will close at ' o'clock.
 This means that the Bridgeport dry goods merchants may do business un- til their customary closing time, 6 o'clock, and that food stores may keep open until o'clock, excepting Satur- day nights, when they will close at g o'clock. The opening hour as pro- claimed by the governor is 6:S0 o'clock.
 In an official statement today, Fuel Administrator Carl F. Siemon rescinds the administration preceding order. His statement in part reads; Tn some instances it has been found that un- less there is some modification of the orders, bankruptcy, or at least a com plete cessation of business, will re- sult.'' Administration Siemon obtain ed permission to modify the orders after consultation today with State Administrator Thomas W. Russell.

In Washington on New Years day, it IS said, 250,00O,0 900 marks was sub scribed for this purpose. The revolu- tions were to be organized in Ger many, Austria-Hungary, Turkey and Bulgaria
 The organization was to be under | the leadership of Senator Stone and Earl Reading and Viscount North | cliffe. It was to have branches in neutral capitals surrounding Ger many and German-speaking neutrals were to be sent into Germany to in- cite the workers in munition factories | to strike.

HALF MILLION
 DOLLAR INCOMES IN BRIDGEPORT

No less than s Bridgeporters have already admitted to the Income Tax collectors that they have an annual income in excess of $500,000, and when the final returns of the tax col lectors is made public it may be shown that Bridgeport is one of the Wealthiest cities in the world.
 Ninety per cent. of the tax payers accompany the filling out of the tax forms with an immediate payment and are agreeably surprised at the smallness of the percentage charged them by Uncle Sam. One man while paying tax of $37,00O to Collector Kyle inquired if the collector was sure that he was paying enough, and seemed anxious to pay the govern ment more.
 Most of the taxes are paid by post office money orders and certified checks, although a considerable amount is paid in yellow and green backs. Women as rule go to their banks before interviewing the tax collectors and arrive in the offices with rolls the proverbial greyhound could not jump over.
 The collectors are delighted at the way Bridgeporters are declaring their property and incomes and expect that before the first of March this city will have created a record which will be hard to beat even by larger centers

NEW YORK STANDS AGAINST RECISTON
 OF CLOSING RULE

New York, Feb. Estate and mu- nicipal fuel authorities indicated to- day that they opposed any move by the national fuel administration to modify the plan providing for heat less Mondays in an effort to conserve coal consumption.
 The situation involving the arrival of less coal than is needed continues here, it was said, and any step that would result in a general increase in the use of fuel would endanger the operation of necessary industries AL bert H. Wiggin, state fuel adminis- &rator. plans to send a representative to Washington on Monday to confer with National Administrator Garfield and Director-General of Railroads McAdoo.
 "The situation does not warrant a resembling of the Monday order" MT. Wiggin said. Sufficient coal is not coming in to supply all demands and we must continue to conserve in every possible manner if we are to go through the winter without greater closing down of business"
