DEMANDS FOR

It will take s25,7o0 to run the cit, court for the next year and $2,S00 to run the office of Harbor Mast-r La. mond, according to the acquisitions for the coming year filed. with City Auditor Bernard Heating this morn ing.
 The city court appropriation is ask ed to be divided as follows: Salary of judge, $3,000; assistant judge, s2,500; prosecuting attorney. $2.500; assist amt to prosecutor, $2,oO0; clerk, s1,800: assistant clerk. sI,0o0; tani- tor, $500; probation officers. $3,0O0; liquor agent, $1.0O0; witness fees, $2,50O, and S5.80O for other incidental items
 City Auditor Heating stated this morning that the acquisitions for 1920, while they were somewhat larger than last year, are not in creasing to such an alarming rate that the tax rate should jump a great deal.
 It Is expected that the Board of Education requisition will be large enough, together with those of the Police and Fire Departments, to push the rate above 25 mills for the next year. The principal increases these three departments will be for salar- les which have been increased 25 per cent. all the way round.

OvERKEATED OIL STOVE THOUGHT
 CAUSE OF FIRE
Hay and Grain Warehouse Is Partially De
 stroyed.

Fire believed to have been started by an overloaded oil stove in freight car partially destroyed a hay and grain warehouse owned by Vincent Brothers, in Carbon street, at three o'clock this morning. Two alarms were sent in, and fireInen worked for four hours before the blaze could be en:ing guished. The building itself was damaged to the approximate extent of B, ,0O0, and the damage to the contents has not yet been definitely estab- ished. It will probably amount to several thousand dollars.
 The flames evidently originated from an oil heater In a freight car which was standing on a siding next to the warehouse 4, night watchman at the Bridgeport Metal Goods company heard the cracking Of the fire, and upon investigation discovered that the flames had broken out of the car and communicated with the building.
 The man ran to fire Box No. 146, a block away. and turned in a general alrn. Some one else pulled Box No. 14s, and when the firemen arrived a second alarm was sent in from Box

 Public.

The sale Of the assets of the Joyce Press, Inc, for s21,50O was approved this morning by Judge Webb Of the Superior court after he had been in- formed by Judge Carl Foster, counsel for Receiver George B. Clark, that an offer of that amount had been re- ceived. Judge Foster said he did not now the name of the bidder but would get the necessary papers signed and return them to court this after noon.

Never in New York's His tory Has Prosperity Been
 So Marked.

New York, Dec. 24.---New York's final day of Christmas shopping start ed with a rush that promised to ex- ceed even the record breaking bus mess of yesterday.
 Never before in the history of the city has there been such widely dis trfbuted prosperity. The stores along Fifth avenue and other streets where more expensive goods were on sale were damned with eager shoppers as early as were the shops in humbIer sections.
 Christmas bonuses distributed by firms in the financial district were es- tinated today to aggregate 80, 900, GOO. Employees of corporations, banks and brokerage firms in many cases re- ceived double the bonuses of last year.
 The gifts varied from 15 per cent. to 100 per cent. of the recipitants' sala- ries. Many corporations, banks and firms distribute bonuses on January 1 instead of on Christmas, and these wore not included in today's esti- the amounts they distributed. i Among the firms which have not announced gifts until today was the United States Rubber Company. Col onel Samuel P. Colt, chairman, and c. E. Seger, president of the concern. announced that all employees receiving less than $2,o00 year would receive 8 ten per cent bonus and those who receive $2, 600 or more would receive s200.

POLICE BOARD WILL NOT MEET
 UNTIL BOTH
President Stanley Asserts He Has Not Issued
 Call.

From present indications Bridge ports anxious policemen will be kept worrying in regard to the police ap- pointments for some time to come as President of the Police Commission John c. Stanley said this moriing that there would be no meeting of the com mission tonight.
 For the last few weeks rumor has been rife that many appointments and promotions were due to be made at the commissioners meeting this even ing. When the board met on the 18th the meeting was adjourned as there was not a quorum present and it was expected that there would be a meeting called today.
 MT. Stanley said this morning that he had issued no call for a meeting and did not expect to. To take the commissioner at his word means that no successor to Captain Coley will be announced tonight. The appointment of new men, Heutenants and sergeants as well as captains vacancy will probably go over now to the regular meeting on the 30th of the month.

With Absolute Control He Plans Billion-DOl-
 lar Corporation. STOCK TO BE
 ALL IN FAMILY

Detroit, Dec. 24-Henry Ford Is planning, 1t is asserted today, to in crease the pay of his 50, 900 employees to an $S a day minimum within a year, this scale to go as high as SIP a day in some cases. The minimum wage is now S6 a day.
 The increase, 1t Is said, Is part of q dream of Henry Ford for a billion dollar corp poratior, owned absolutely by one man.
 Next August Henry Ford and his son will hold without obligation of any sort, every penny of Ford stock All the present and contemp plated Ford industries will be owned by the family.
 Simultaneously, according to re- port, with the wage increases the price of the Ford car will be materi- ally reduced, although there are more than 100000 unified orders on hand.
 It Is to keep the Ford policies in tact that Henry Ford has acquired personally all the stock of the Ford Motor Company, borrowing $10O,- 100000 to expedite the purchase.
 Edsel Ford, now only twenty-six. is President of the company. He has inherited, business associates insist, his fathers genius for organization and his ability to plan on a gigantic scale.
 Two sons, Henry Ford IT., and a boy 8 few weeks old, are likely to be the richest individuals in the world a few years from now.
 The Ford policies are based on the single purpose of turning back profits into production, wages and reduced prices for the finished product
 Henry Ford found minority stock holders ham pered hhrn. and 50 the loan, originally of $75, 100000, was negotiated last summer.
 Within one year that loan will be repaid, and the Ford family will dic- tate the destinies of an industry whose present value hardly can be comput- ed, but which will reach the billion dollar mark before many years

Chicago, Dec. 24-Coal consumers today were in receipt Of announce ments from several fuel companies notifying them of an increase in the retail price of between 30 and 35 cents a ton on all coal mined since settlement of the recent bituminous miners strike to make up for the fl per cent. wage increase the workers gained
 This does not mean no coal will be sold at the government price," one dealer said, "but the Garfield order Is not retroactive on contracts executed before it was issued and all contracts contain a clause providing for the passing along of any increase in min ing cost. Those who have no con tracts for coal will get it at the gov ernment price.
 However, most operators have their entire output sold under con tract, so the price increase will be pretty general
