Low Record Is Set,

NEW YORK. August ~ LP).-The
Federal Reserve Bank Of New York
yesterday reduced its rediscount rate
to l per cent, the lowest on record
for any central bank. in what was
described by Reserve authorities as a
move in anticipa ton Of Autumn ex-
pansion OF commercial credit.
The rate-the figure at which the
Reserve institutions loans to member
banks-had been at IL per cent since
February 2, 1884.
The Reserve banks at Atlanta, Chi
cago and Minneapolis within the last
week had cut their rates in what
was generally expected to be move
ment in bracing all the IL regional
banks. 1t was the hrst time, how
ever, / per cent rate had been es-
tablished.
Bond Market Aided.
The latest move was taken in bank
ing circles here partly as a direct
attempt to bolster the market fol
United States Government bonds by
providing low-rate money for member
banks to reloan to customers. During
the last year, it was pointed out, banks
throughout the country, in order tc
provide funds for commercial loans
have liquidated more than 81 200, ,0O0,-
600 in Federal obligations.
This had little effect on the prices
Of Government issues until last March
when large estates, trust funds and
institutional buyers, such as insurance
companies, which had snapped ur
bonds offered by the banks, disap-
peared largely from the market.
Many felt the yield-the interest
received on investment-was too low
at the price bonds then commanded.

Democratic National Committee man David E. FitzGerald. New Ha- vtt, made a lone stand in support of the chain store tax. He charged they were driving independent aboees out of business and asserted IS other states had adopted such le6lelation, the taxes being based on a aiding scale.

 c. F. Adams, Boston, treasurer of tae First National Stores, opposing the bjll. characterised the proposal as discriminatory and that the 800 stores now operating in the state pay an average tax of $860 a year.
 Refuting the argument indepen- dents stores were being forced from competition, Adams said between 1o3S and 1895 there was an increase of Al1 independent stores as against an increase of Sl chain stores.
 Produce and dairy dealers also spoke against the tax.
 The judiciary committee rejected recommends tions to set up a pen- sion system for state employees.

WARDEN URGES 5% PAY RESTORATION
Sheridan to Make Recom- menation for Cops and
 Bremen

Maugatuck, April 2--Warden Johr, ,. Sheridan will recommend a res- torStion Of 5 per cent of pay for lo- cal tiremen and policemen, includ- ing supermuelnrarieS, he announced today. The warden said he will make this recommendation at the budget meeting of the board of warden and burSesses.
 This is in keeping with the trend now he said. The 5 per cent restora- ton each year in an effort to bring back slowly but surely, the pay of town employees to their former status.
 However, he said, the adminis- tration wants to keep the budget balanced each year instead of run ming into debt and therefore cannot grant too much of a restoration.
 Supernumeraries as well as regu- lar policemen, will benefit, the war den stressed. He apparently was re- feyring to the recent move by Bur- gess Joseph Nygrer, republican. to have the Supern1uneraries be paid the same as the regulars.
