STILL SEEKING GOLD LEAKAGE
Suspicion Rests on Some Brokerage Houses That
 Send London News

London. Dec 12-(UP)-lnves- tigation of the rapidity with which certain private financial concerns receive the daily Washington gold price in advance of official an- nouncement of the figure was un. derstood today to center around one or more American brokerage houses.
 In banking circles it was learned today that at least 20 banks and brokerage houses receive flash from the United States each day. generally between 2:40 D. m. and 2:45 p. m. (from $40 to 9:45 q. m. ESTO. It was reported today thai one large American brokerage house, with q branch in London, Is 'frequently slightly ahead" of the other financial services.
 Upon some occasions, it appears, London has been advised of the days gold price five minutes before the American public is aware ot the figure. The price is announced daily at 9:45 a. m. EST, in Wash ington. The concern named as be- ing peculiarly fortunate in the rap i6ity with which its clients receive the news maintains large Wash ington branch. It is closely allied with an old New York financial house.

CITY JOB QUOTA
 WILL BE FILLED
 BY NEXT FRIDAY
Two Thousand Will Then Be at Work Under
 CWA Program

William M. Harris. local CWA administrator, today stated that he pla,ss to have the city's quota of 2.6aD jobs filed by Friday of this week. As soon as the local quota has been reached. he plans to ask state board officials for large in- crease ill Waterbury's figure. With 5000 additional jobs allotted to the state, it IS believed that state CWA officials will act favorably on Inc local request.
 The office force at tho state en- ployment agency was still busy this morning completing the selection of the 300 men sought in the last requisition of the CWA administra- ton. With that order completed to- day, the office will be ready for further acquisitions.
 With more than 1,700 local men and women already on the CWA payroll acquisitions for 250 or more must be made by Friday to complete the quota. It is probable that MT Harris will ask for most of this figure in a requisition to- morrow morning, and that the state office will have the full local quota requisition by Thursday night or Friday morning.
 At yesterdays meeting of the Mutual Aid committee it was re- ported that ASA are now on the fund lists. with 249 of this num- Der being given work part time Forty-fou are receiving direct aid and the remainder are being quar- tered at St. Johns parish house and at the Chase arracksa
 The fund balance has increased to $49,9S8, while last weeks re- ceipts dropped to $4,222. Elk penses were $1,749. The Mutua Aid income will drop after the be- ginning of next year. it was shown since no appropriation has been made in next years city budget for Mutual Aid contribution.

 DECREE OF VERY
 GREAT INTEREST

 The decree is effective January 1. Collective farms in the far eastern provinces are exempted for 10 years from making grain de- liveries to tho government and in diyidual farmers are exempted for five years.
 Deliveries of meat, potatoes, but ter and milk in the maritime prov inccs are reduced 50 per cent at most points.
 Prices paid by the government for fish from collective fisheries are increased 20 per cent.
 Wages Of factory. transport ard other workers and of soldiers are increased.

FOUR WEEKS PAY
 FOR TEACHERS OF
 CITY TOMORROW
Waterbury Will Play Santa Claus to All Teachers
 in This City

Scare stories printed in certain papers in Waterbury to the effect that the city might have to insti- ute "payless paydays" were blast cd today. The city of Waterbury will play Santa Claus tomorrow to all of it's school teachers by giving them four weeks pay. This fact was ascertained in an interview with Controller Daniel J. Leary.
 Tomorrow Controller Lcary. will disperse to the teachers in the Waterbury schools the sum of $160.OOO. This is in keeping with a custom of years standing where by at the middle of December four weeks salary has been granted the teachers.
 The news. therefore, is no doubt pleasing to the teachers because O. whisperings of ''payless paydays which have gained slight credence in some unofficial quarters. Also. teachers faces were wreathed ia smiles today upon learning that they would not only receive their regular salaries but that Controller I.eary would also be able to con tinue the custom of the extra two 
 the rest of the year.
 Merchants, realizing the placing of S160.00O in teachers envelope and knowing the large purchasing power they represent in the city feeling impetus will be given t' Christmas shopping. The teachers are happy and eso are the mer' chants. no doubt. So are Mayo Frank Hayes and Controller LeaNN for being able to oblige the teach CTS with the contentionai foul weeks salaries in these times.
 A few weeks ago it was erron- eously reported in certain papers that "payless paydays" faced al. city employees. The Democrd' stated that the administration has never had to carry out such a pro- gram before and would not do Ho at this time. This same thing can not be said of some other Connec- ticut communities.

ALDERMEN HAVE GIVEN APPROVAL
 OF CITY BUDGET
As ForetOld in The Demo- crat, City Employees Get
 Raise on January

Unanimous approval was given the proposed budget for 1894 by the aldermen last night, As a re- suit, on January 1st all city em- ployes will receive a five per cent raise in pay and the tax rate will be 32.25 mills, d reduction of a quarter mill. No dissenting vote was cast at last evenings adjourned meeting and the 1894 financial slate as set up by the board of finance and Executive Secretary Thomas r. Kelly was adopted.
 The board also authorized two street layouts and approved several departmental and inter-depart- mental transfers. These transfers are necessary to balance the books of the municipality for 1883. An other meeting of the aldermen will be held before the close of the year to authorize further transfers which are now being studied by Controller Daniel J. Leary.
 The 1884 budget provides for the expenditure of $6,159,453. This is $616.026 less than the appropria- tions set up in the current years budget. The margin of safety be- tween estimated receipts and apT propriations is greater in the 1884 budget. A 15 per cent discount is provided for. In the current bud get the discount is only per cent
 The coming years budget con- tains practically the same items as does the one for 1883. with just q few additions and few items be- ing dropped. The appropriations in the welfare department for food for Mutual Aid members is drop. ped due to the fact that it Is be- lieyed the higher rates of pay being received under the CWA will en' able those previously benefited tt

AnotherBig CityLoan Ls Under Negotiation
Million and One Half Dollars Provided for After Visit of the City Official to New York-City
 Credit Again Demonstrated


 Members of the board of finance will convene tomorrow for the purpose of floating q temporary loan of a million and a half dol- lars. City Controller Daniel J. Leary has been in New York over the weekend and has negotiated the loan at the very attractive rate of three and one-quarter mills. This rate is very low and much lower than the city of Waterbury has obtained on large loans in years.
 Today local bankers joined in stating that the rate is q most favorable one as it is three. quarters of one per cent lower than the market price. The trans action negotiated by Controller Leary demonstrates, it is felt, the strong confidence the New York banking experts have in Water bury's financial management.
 It was stated today that the $1,5OO.OOO note is not to be dis counted, meaning that the interest will not be required until the note natures in June. The city could have contented itself with smaller borrowings were it not for the fact that there is a bond interest ana redemption item of $55O.OOO be- comes due and payable early In January.
 There being no regular income between now and next May for the city, except back tax payments, a loan of this size was necessity Mayor Frank Hayes and Controller Leary hope that improved business conditions now in the offinS will account for taxes in May in such amounts as to makN no further borrowings necessary.
 The loan. which is much to the satisfaction of the city of ficials and which local bankers say is ray orable one. together with the sale of $5O0.O00 in funding bonds early in the coming year, constitute the city's financial program for the coming six months.

 Washington, Dee 12.-(UP)-- President Roosevelt's stand for liquor taxes low enough to wipe out the bootlegger today gave con- gressional leaders the incentive they needed to discard the S2.G0 whiskey levy proposed by the ad- ministration's special alcohol con trol committee.
 A majority of members of the house ways and means committee and the senate finance commlttee favor a tax far below that recom- mended Reluctance to break w'th the administration on the issue however. has been apparent. one group has proposed continuance ol the present $1.10 excise tax untl' the bootleg industry is eXterm- mated.
 Now with the President indicat- ing his willingness to have congress tackle the liquor tax problem in It's own way, the various antl-bootleS groups favoring taxes of S2.00 or under were free to exert them selves.
