S9.OOO Miniature
 Golf Courses For $2
Atty Lynch, Trustee of Bankrupt Veil Estate, Offers
 Them to Park Department

Mir Lynch informed the court that he had made offers to various park departments in several cities but had received unfavorable re sponse. He said the city of Water bury's park department had dem onstratcd the only interest shown.
 Bankruptcy Referee Carleton k. Hoadley suggested that the courses be turned over to the park depart ment provided the city had the land available for their installa- tion. Mir Lynch pointed out that 1t probably would be the best solution since he has rec,sJed no monetary offers for them. He stated that in order to get them off his hands he would be willing to offer them for q dollar to the part department.
 George Shapiro, son of the late l. M. Shapiro, will receive $500 from the bankrupt estate of I. M Shapiro company of this city ac- cording to an order passed by Ref cree Hoadley. The sum represents the preferred claim of the son who held the position of secretary of the corporation, being the wages due him for nine weeks.
 The actual count of the claim was set at $675 but counsel dis covered that the limit for pre- ferred salary claims, no matter how much the amount, cannot go over 5000. The trustee was or dcred to pay other claims against the estatS which showed q total of more than 5000. These claims represented taxes due the City of Waterbury and allowances to coun- sel.
 Edward J. Real was appointed trustee in the estates of Joseph Smith, doing business as the Sally Shoppc and in the Mary Anne Shoppe, Inc. Appraisers will be appointed later. Discharge was granted Joseph Kreigler upon ap- plication of the petitioners coun- gel.

I. Case, these issues suffering recessions of a fraction to more than points.
 Nothing occurred over the week. end to account for the renewed pressure In the leaders unless 1t was desire on part of traders to take advantage of the increased bullishness to reduce their hold inEs.
 At the same time, considerable selling for the short account came into the leaders, especially in Amer ican Can, which broke 2M points
