Proposal to pay officers per case in court risks bias
Boston police reform advocates push for an assayer of liquors and a paid testimony fee for each case, with the tenth annual report urging a 1000-officer force, new police boat, and use of Old Public Library as headquarters. The figures show thousands of arrests and substantial seized property across pool rooms, policy shops, and other venues.

Bond Market Mixed as Holiday Trading Slows in New York
The Tuesday bond market report shows a holiday-affected New York and Boston stock exchange with limited business beyond coupon cashing and a few bond sales. Clearing balances and money rates are noted, with strong municipal demand and prospective large issues from Chicago sanitary district and Boston park loan. Analysts expect 189 to be a solid year for high grade municipals, aided by investor shift from Western mortgages to safer municipal bonds.
