Moscow. Feb. 25.-In order to in- sure the return to Russia of the dele gation sent to the projected economic conference, only those persons who have families or possessions in Russia will be allowed to go.
 The soviet has had too many ex- amples of it's agents willing to work abroad but unwilling to return. Sev- eral government agents will accom- pany the delegation under the guise of secretaries. to insure the good con- duct and return of the delegates.
 The example of the death of M. Bravin by assassination il, Afghanis- tan last summer is held as warming to sackers that the Communist dis cipline will be upheld and that it's arm is long.

TAX RATE PROBLEM PROVES PERPLEX|NG May Now Be Necessary to Levy
 More Than 20 1.2 Mills MEMS LycEuM TO MEET
First Gathering in Some Time Will Be Held At Congregational Church Monday Evcning-Fumcral of Mrs. Alice Allyn-BricCs..

It is possible that the town of Der lin will not find it necessary to have much higher tax rate for next year, if the opinions of the members of the board of finance are correct, al though it seems certain that an in crease is inevitable.
 Several days ago an item was pub lished stating that it was thought Berlin would have at least 23 and possibly a 24 mill tax rate for next year. At the present time the town has a 2o12 mill rate.
 It was thought by some who are well acquainted with town affairs that a 23 mill rate would be neces- sary due to the fact that the town has d s20,000 debt on it's hands The selectmen were authorized at special town meetings to borrow sums of money in order to pay the expenses of the town until May of this spring, when taxes are due.
 member of the board of finance stated this morning that the town has enough money to meet all of it's ob- legations. with the exception of the bond issue. This money will be col lected in taxes next May and will be sufficient to pay back the money bor- rowed this past year, it is said.
 To Collect S97 .l5l.62
 The budget adopted at the town meeting in October calls for S126,- 05S.13 of which amount s9745162 is to be collected by taxes. The re- maining amount is made up of $457.11 which the town has in vari- ous banks, sS,000 which it expects from the state for schools, s1100 tui- ton fees from Cromwell and Rocky Hill, $3S00 expected from the state on Investments, $50 for the sale Of water, $2oo from Selden school plot and s15,000 from back taxes.
