gigantic American Smelling and Re-

of NJ. Guggenheim' Sons, the seven
brothers first venture in the smelt-

a small Smelter at Pueblo, Colo.
In the early days of the firm,
Daniel, under the guidance of his
father, Meyer Guggenheim, faced all
the hardships incidental to pros

properties - hardships not under
gone from grim necessity, but from
a burning desire for achievement.
All Worked Together
The Guggenheim brothers were
noted for the way they worked to-
getller as a unit under the hard and
fast principle of majority rule.
Daniel Guggenheim was preSi-
cent or chairman of the board of
directors Of the American Smelling
and Refining Company, one of the
worlds largest producers Of metals,
for twenty years.
His enterprise included not only
copper. but tin, nitrates and even
diamonds, extending from Alaska to
Mexico, from South America to
Asia and the Belgian Congo.
In recent years Guggenheim de-

Formed Air Foundation
In January, 1925, he formed the
Daniel Guggenheim Fund for the
Promotion of Aeronautics, with
S2500.0O0. Among the important
contributions of the fund we're
establishment of a $150,0OO compe-
tition for a "foolproof" airplane and
awards of large sums of money to
provide colleges with facilities for
carrying on aviation development
along educational lines.
In the fall of 1926, the fund
financed the countrywide tour of
the Byrd north pole plane to focus
attention on development of air
craft and need for municipal air
ports. The fund also financed
Colo 1el Charles A. Lindbergh' S
22,35j-mile tour of the country
after the flight to Paris.
Guggenheim was born in Philadel-
phia July 8, 1856, the second of seven
sons of Meyer, who as a boy emf
grated to the United States from
Switzerland.
Besides the widow, Guggenheim is
survived by two sons, Lieutenant
Colonel M. Robert Guggenheim,
United States army, and Harry F.
Guggenheim, ambassador to Cuba
and one daughter, Mrs. Roger w.

STATE SNUBS CITY

Insists on Debating Terms on
 Building New Highway
MAYOR GIVES UP HOPE
Money Which Was to Have Been Spent on New Link to West Hart ford Road Will be Expended on Local Improvements.

The plan for a boulevard high way from Hillcrest avenue to Gill let's corner has practically been abandoned and the s60,00O which it was proposed to spend for the city's share of the work will probably be laid out on other highways, Mayor Quigley announced today.
 Negotiations Fizzle Out
 Negotiations have been going on for several weeks between Mayor Quigley, Chairman F. N. Humphrey of the board of public works and State Highway Commissioner John A. Macdonald and for several days it has been evident that no agree ment would come out of the confer ence.
 It was originally projected 10 build a connecting highway between the two points mentioned, the work to be executed and financed by the state. then added to- the trunk line

of Street Ap- propriation and Bond Issue of Sl6O, 1000 to Take Care of High way Work Will Be Advocated.
Conference of City Off cials and Welfare Agents This Afternoon Will Focus Efforts on Rem- edying Labor Situation and Outlining Relief.

Mayor Quigley today disclosed plans for a s1OO,OOo charity fund for relief work this year, to be made possible without levy of an extra tax.
 The mayor will go before the common council and ask that street bonds in the amount of s160,000 be issued, this fund to be placed at the disposal of the department of pub lie works, the present street fund, slightly in excess of sf00o 900, to be transferred to the public welfare de- partment.
 Believes Emergency Exists
 T am very much opposed to the issuance of street bonds, but we have an emergency today and we must face it." the mayor declared. We are now paying out about $1.000 a month to save families from being evicted from their homes and we have no way Of knowing how much of this st00,000 we will be called upon to spend, but we must make whatever is needed"
 Issuance of the installment Of street bonds will exhaust the amount for which legislative authorization has been had. Repayment over period of five years is required un- der the assembly act by which this type of bonH@was created. and an amount covering one-ffth of the to- tai must be included in the next five annual budgets.
 Opposes Special Tax Levy
 In his program of unempioym relief, Mayor Quigley considered two projects, one the issuance of street bonds and the alternative the bor- rowing of money on a special tax, collectible next year. The second plan would increase the tax rate mater tally and impose the entire cost of the relief program on next years tax bills, while the first will make the annual payment sufficiently small to enable the board of finance and tax ation to offset it in savings else where, he believes.
 Conference on Relief
 When the mayor meets at o'clock today with representatives of municipal departments which em- ploy laborers and with welfare workers he will outline his plan in greater detail. He has called to his office Chairman J. w Marsland and Supt. John L. Doyle of the welfare department, Judge William F. Man
