wherever the respective cases come from, and in this way the amount due in each case is arrived at.
 At the present time Hartford owes Waterbury nothing for the care of out-of-town needy. As for ford, it was explained this morn ing that the fact that this amount has not been paid previously is possibly due to the fact that much red-tape has been necessary before establishing the liability of this city for the persons cared for.
 According to the Brown report, the towns owing Hartford aside from Waterbury are Bristol, East Granby, Rocky Hill, New Haven. South Windsor, Manchester and others.
 As the amount set up against Waterbury is as of July 31st, last, the new budget of the city will be adequate to take care of any demand made on the city by Hart ford, it was stated today.
 In the report, MT. Brown criti- cised the state pauper laws as in- adequate and cited the failure of Hartford to receive payment from other cities and towns for the care of nonresident needy per- sons He suggested a change in the state law or, rather, an addition, which would require report on such costs and delinquencies be- ing annuauuy filed with the state tax commissioner.

found to be correct in every way.
 For the past few months the public welfare system of Hartford has been undergoing thorough study at the hands of MT. Brown for the purpose of centralizing re- lief activities and increasing the efficiency of relief funds in Hart ford. In his report, MT. Brown urges that the relief activities of the public welfare department and the Community Chest of that city be merged so as to eliminate du- plication of effort and to save money.
 In all, he set forth in his re- port, there is total of $68,920. 31 due the city of Hartford from other towns, of which $25,577.54 has remained unpaid for more tha no ne year. Waterbury's ac- count is listed as unpaid for five years.
 MT. Brown recommends that steps be taken to sue the various towns, including Waterbury. for the sums due.
 The local public welfare de- partment stated today that this stop would not be necessary as Waterbury is ready to meet any of its bills. It was explained here that Waterbury cares for many cut -of-town persons, also, and chArbes the costs against the towns where the persons belong. A balance is then made between this town and the other towns,

clined to reveal what new methods might be evolved when the ways and means committee tackles the problem next week. Secretary of Treasury Mills already has advised congress that the sales tax is his only solution of the vexatious rev. enue problem.
 It was considered possible an at tempt might be made to reduce the deficit u rough a long-term bond issue for public works. Under this plan, reported to find favor with Governor Roosevelt, the treasury would finance construction expend- itures through a separate bond is- sue. They would thus be paid for over a long period rather than from current tax receipts.
 , House congressional leaders. however. were unenthusiastic over this proposal. They held it would be impossible to float long-term bond issue while the budget is still unbalanced by hundreds of millions of dollars. In addition. they point out the treasury in the. cOparative- ly near future must refinance about $7,OO0, 100000 of regular obliga- tions. They believe this would corn- pletely kill the market for g spe- cial long-term issue.

MAGNIFICENT 1KREUCER FOLLY
 NOW FOR SALE
Ornate Palace on Paris Most Costly Site Is
 Without Tenant
BY RALPH HEINZEN (United Press Staff CorrespOndent) ]

Paris (UP) = The "Kreuger Folly'' is for sale. An S0,000. .000- franc general European headquart- CTS which workmen have just fin- ished in Paris and which was des- tined to become Ivor Kreuger's own home and the central offices of his $800,O00, 900 enterprises.
 For his headquarters, Kreuger chose the most costly piece of ground in France, one corner of tie famed Place Vendome where the morning sun cast long shadow of Napoleon over the Kreuger doorway from the great bronze pillar atop which rests the Roman Napoleon in toga and laurel-leaves.
 This famed spot and the two great buildings which close it in from four sides, are French na- tional property and the govern ment forbids tampering with tho exterior of the buildings, classed as national monuments. Kreuger, however, had expensive ideas of what his central offices should look like. It cost him a fortune to respect the law and yet to meet his own tastes.
 To meet the governments re- quirements he left t..e street wall standing and tore out the old buildings from behind, then built on palace behind the old gray stones. The beauty of the 17th Century architectural gem is un- broken.
 Hard Bargainers Both Lose
 There were several tenants In the old buildings who had long leases and refused to move. One in particular. asked 12.0Q0000 francs (half a million dollars) damages to give up the site for ths three years remaining under the lease. The price was excessive So Kreuger refused.
 He built is buildin~ around the storeroom of the recalcitrant ten- ant at an extra cost of 100000 francs. Anxious to get his flat for h '-nself Kreuger then started ne- gotiations. At a cost of 5000, 0OO francs he bought up the tenants lease, but immed'at' F. sold the tenant 8,00O,00O francs of stock in Kreuger and Toll interests, which |i worth little today.
 Now the great palace is com pleted but empty. There is no longer any need of general office building and its construction was so luxurious that few tenants care to rent it. The building cost 80.- 0O0, GOO francs to build, but could be had today for less than half that.

 card famous Belgian scientist, will sail early in January to explore American packer and two husky the possibilities of finding rich young Americans who are pilots and physicists to undertake a ball. loon voyage to study cosmic rays in the region of the magnetic pole. He will also require a daring res- cue party to bring back the bal- loon and its occupants after they

 T have no doubt that among

 able to find the men require to help me in the interests of science

 not plan to make the flight myself
 because I feel I cannot meet the
 physical strain which will be re-
 quired, but I hope to organize it 50 that we shall all benefit scien-
 tifically by the experience"
 ON THE CUP AND UP"
 Piccard plans to send a balloon aIoft from upper Hudson Boy next year or in 1884 which will be able to rise over ten miles where. he
 hopes, the yet unknown cosrnic rays of the magnetic pole can be studied. He will have to have a new and perfected balloon and
 cabin for his Arctic air voyage.
 "The chief interest in these cos-
 mic rays is that we hope some day
 to reproduce them artihciaily, he
 explained. 'The possibilities are
 immense. We may be able by q
 simple process which we hope to
 develop to produce rays which VIII
 light and heat a large city,"
 Professor Picard admits that the risks of Hudson Bay night
 will be much greater than those he faced during his two European as- censious, but he believes they can be minimized with careful man. agement. The two pilots must be oualiefid to manage the balloon and at the same time regulate the ob- servatiQns. He would like them to be Americans because the experi- ment will be made on the Ameri- can continent, and they must be able to withstand extreme cold. BALLOON WILL DRIFT
 'The greatest danger will be in the descent. Perfect atmospheric conditions. with no fog, will be necessary, but even with this the balloon may drift 200 miles and we shall need a well-equipped expe- ditionary force to recover the pi- lots and their craft"
 Upon arrival in the United States, Piccard will hasten to visit his twin brother who is q chem ist in Wilmington, Del. He admits that for a man of science he is sentimental about his family. He plans to lecture in various cities from coast to coast and in prep- aration for this he is busy study ing English.
