inca CITY PROBABLY
FOUND BY BINGHAM
Senator Mentioned Place
That Was Found by
Peru's Expedition

New Haven, Aug. P-The Inca
city which has just been discovered
in the department Of Cuzco, Peru,
by an expedition organized within
the department is probably the city
mentioned in Senator Hiram Bing-
HAMS book Inca Land" which he
published while director OF Peruvian
expeditions for Yale university and
the National Geographic society.
Senator Bingham is in Europe at
the present time but in his book
which gives in detail the results OF
his explorations in Peru. 16 years
ago. he mentions the fact that as
far back as 1875. Charles Wiener, a
French explorer was told of some
fine ruins down the Urubamba valley
at place called ''Huaina Picchu or
Matcho- Picchu." Wiener. the Sen
ator recounts, failed to find the
place. Gould we hope to be any
more successful?" he asks and in a
succeeding chapter describes how he
found Machu Picchu
Machu Picchu. he describes as be-
ing in the Urubamba valley. The
newly discovered ruins are atop the
mountain known as Huaina- -Picchu
However. he says, the city had prob
ably never been visited before de-
spite the fact that the planters Of
the lower Uruhamha valley annual.
ly passed over the road which winds
through the canyon two thousand
feet below.
Professor Bingham was seeking
the birthplace of Nance Capac. the
first Inca" when he made his dis
covery Nance was supposed e
have been born at a place called
Tampu- -Tocco but in Prof. Bing
hams book he reconciles the de-
soription Of Machu Picchu with tina
Of Tampu-Tocco. The new discov
cries may clear up the mystery o
Nance Capac's birthplace.

PLENTY OF WORK FOR
TAX COLLECTORS
Yale's "undertaker" Song
May Easily Be Applied
to Them

Hartford, Aug. 7 RIThe words
Of a college song more work for
the undertaken" may apply to prop
erty tax collectors of the towns of
Connecticut under a notice issued by
State Tax Commissioner w H. Blod-
gett. They are required under a
1927 law to show on each certificate
which continues a tax lien based
upon assessmen OF 1927 or thereaft-
er the record OF each undischargel
lien of prior date that is recorded.
Prior to passage of the law the
commissioner said he undertook to
investigate the lien situation in a
large municipality Waterbury and
small town (Hartland) and found
conditions SO chaotic that ''it was
not a difficult matter to set these
up as horrible examples"
Recently the commissioner receiv-
ed memoranda of unreleased tax
liens in Middletown where the tax
collector has a record of nearly 100
per cent of tax collections for some
years.
The total number of such liens
was 933. The collector sent a let
ter explanatory of the character of
these liens and from his experience
the commissioner has outlined vari-
GUS classfications to aid collectors
in making up their lists. The CON-
missioner says in part: New liens
cannot be filed except as they dis
close in positive terms what prior
liens exist against the real estate to
be liened under the new lien laws
The commissioner urges that town
authorities start the work of cata-
loguing liens of records without de.
lay.
