CHESS TOURNEY
 OPENING DELAYED

The City Chess Championship tournament scheduled to open at the Central YM.C.A. this afternoon has been postponed until next week, the official date to be announced shortly by the committee in charge Enthusiastic interest has been aroused within the past month in the prospects of Waterbury witnes- sing a battle to decide for a year at least the question as to whom the crown of champ" should be presented. Some of the city's lead- ing players have entered their names and are in the proverbial pink" for spirited battles.

statutory restriction. By 1927, how aver the amount was back close to a million dollars, i'll three aooeo deficiency bills total.
 Climb Was Rapid
 Thereafter, the climb was rapo until. in 1883, the amount eXceeoeo S3 GOO 900. This was the depression cost in the sense that most ot the money went to orphans, soldiers relief. and state institutions. when Governor Cross took office his nrst two years resulted in the $1,8l9,O12 figure of 1885 deficiency bills, and, in 1887. more than a million of the three deficiency bills went to re- store salary cuts to state employees.
 During the Republican admins trations of the So-caled "ooom days" however, one phase ot the matter becomes obvious and that, the high class political bookkeeping which saw ramming through ot straight appropriation bills without the deficiency labels for some 1n- stitution, board or agency. There was no way of telling what the states actual deficits" were, as dis tinguished from deficiency bills.
 All of this is on the eve of the next General Assembly's converting when Governor Cross predicts that the budget may be balanced in spite of a $12,O00,000 deficit, which re- mains to be refunded by bond is- sues. New taxes in 1885 were added to the preceding levies which paid depression" costs, in part.
 Bills Were Larger
 Summarizing the matter, 1t is found that: Deficiency bills of the so-called good old days" of the Re- publican 1920's were far larger in proportion to state revenue than the Repression" costs; that the defi- ciency bills have been political eX- pedients during most of the last 20 years; and that the business index is reflected by the ''post-war de- pression" in the size of the defi- ciency bills. just as it has been shown more recently, during the current depression" and, recently, business recession"
 So far as liability for over-appro- priations is concerned, taking leaf from the Waterbury investigation and civil suit against the former controller there, it still remains the opinion here that such liability has not the benefit of precedent, during either Republican or Democratic administrations of the state. Should this have been so, then Waterbury might well have instituted recovery suits at the conclusion of the last Republican administration there, when, the report shows. there was total deficit" or oyer-appropria- tions, of about $4,000,000.

By BAB LINCOLN

TXTE do not know whether
w it's due to the recent
visit of Swedish royalty or
what. but all Of sudden
there S a tremendous interest
in everything with a Swedish
flavor whether it's food or
drink or furniture.
Hearing that a local de-
partment store had decided
to feature, among other
trends, Swedish m o dern
furniture, we decided to in
vestigate and find out what
was at the bottom of it.
The Swedes are a home-loving
people, and while they are as
modern and up and coming as
any nation under the sun,
they're not the ones to sacrifice
comfort for an extreme decor.
So their furniture designs in
this instance strike happy
medium between the old tradi-
tional periods and out and out
modern. For instance the chairs
have lines that actually follow
the curves of your body. They
are basically simple, but the
finish and upholsteries are def
initely sophisticated in color and
textures.
Blossom
Colors Used
One thinks of clear bright
colors in the Swedish scene,
sunny yellows, vivid reds and
blues, moss greens and a certain
pink that is the color Of noun
tain blossoms. These colors
used judiciously are most effec-
tive with the light honey woods
favored in Swedish modern fur
niture.
In the conversation piece pic
tured. it will be noticed that the
mirrored fireplace is regulation
modern, but that the really new
note is struck in the comolna'
ton of the table and chairs in
their vivid upholstery and their
basic faShioning.
