The cost of running the city departments confined entirely in the City Hall de-| creased $669,552 the first nine months of this fiscal vear as compared with the same period of 1931. The cost during May decreased $38,- | 446, compared with May of 1931, and totaled $283,643, according to the report of J. J. Kunz, director of finance, made | to Mayor Harrison.

By the Associated Press. Completing two years' of work under the Smoot-Hawley tariff act of 1930, the Tariff Commission 'yesterday announced that duties had been decreased on im- ports valued at neanly $14,000,000 and | increased on $9,000,000 worth of im- ports. sessments in their current fiscal years. The lighting did not exceed appro- | priations in those years, but exceeded | collections. Mr. Kunz's report shows that there is about $500,000 in cash in the city treasury, exclusive of cash from bond‘ issues and specjil funds, about twice as | much as was reported at this time last year. The decrease in city outlay in May included about $20,000 in salary suspensions. | The distribution of the decrease in municipal costs in May was $29,952 in salaries and $28,493 in supplies. Rigid Economy Program. In discussing the current figures the mayor said the remainder of the fiscal year will not show such big decreases, | because a very rigid economy program was started about this time last year. | The mayor has received the latest copy of the Bureau of Census report on per capita receipts. per capita costs and the net funded debt of American cities. | The report shows Louisville to be | twenty-fourth of the 25 larger cities in | all these departments for the year 1930, which was the peak year for taxation here. The census figures for 1930 show the per capita receints to be $56.25, and those of New Orleans, the lowest city in the group, $52.59. The cost of government here on_the per capite basis was $42.25, while New Orle: eported $41.25. | Louisville's net funded debt per capita was $88.14, while that of St. Louis, the lowest of the group, was $78.59, and that of New Orleans $155.44 The mayor pointed out that in the Census Bureau figures for 1930 the per capita receipts included the Louisville Water Co.'s income and special assess- ments and such items for a grand total of $17268750 on the population of 307,000 reported for that year.

C, JUNE 19, 1932—PART ONE. DATA T0 BE KEPT ON GREAT MODERNS Records to Permit Scientists of Future to Visualize Their Achievements. It is the intention of the Aristogenic Association, which was formed in New York six years ago, to collect and pre- serve important records of the great| men of our times in order that sci-| entists of the future may have accurate data from which to visualize and in-| terpret the achievements of today. Last year this asociation, through a committee of 14 eminent men, selected 10 persons whose records will form the first of a series extending from genera- | tion to generation in an unbroken line into the future. The names of the 10 eminent men honored by this selection bave not been made public, it being the feeling of the association that the pub- |/} lication of their names in this connec- tion might prove embarrassing to the subjects. Each year, or perhaps every two years, 10 more great persons will be se- | lected, and records prepared for preser- vation in the vaults of the soclety. Ac- cording to the present plan, these records will be kept up to date by the addition of current information as long as the subjects are living, and after death the data will be sealed and pre- iserved and unapened for 100 years, at| jthe expiration of which they will be| made available for study by sclentists. Permanent Record Desired. But now, while records of the first 10 great men are accumulating, a seri- | ous problem has arisen. How should | endure great periods of time? If they | are written on ordinary paper they will cramble and disappear. It is hardly practical to engrave them on stone, yet experience shows that stone and are the most substances which bring us records of the past. The importance of this problem is even greater when the nature of the | assoviation wishes not only to have writ- iten clata upon the men selected, but also | | lphomwnphs, phonograph records, mo- —— T enduring | | tion-picture films and other modern devices for recording personality and appearance. ‘The question of the preservation of these records has now been put square- ly up to sclence. The problem is one that will undoubtedly call forth many novel suggestions. A few days_ 8go, over the signature of Dr. C. Ward Crampton, president of the association, the following notice appeared in the magazine Science: “The Aristogenic Association is en- gaged in making records of the char- acteristics of men thought to be of great service to humanity. An en- deavor is being made to make the rec- ords as objective as possible; 1. e, to present their own evidence. ‘Therefore the motion picture, photograph and X-ray are extensively employed. Since it is desired to preserve a copy of these records intact for release at the end of a century, they must be durable. s, however, some doubt as to the best methods of preserving them for so long a time. The usual sources of informa- tion are indecisive. We should appre- ciate any useful data or suggestion.” Health Examination Also. As Dr. Champton sees it, the preser- vation of records of our times for future ages is not the only benefit to be de- rived from the activities of the Aristo- genic Association. A part of the data to be collected will result from a search- ing physical and health examination. By discovering the special health needs of great men selected by the associa- tion, physicians will be enabled to pro- long the lives of these important per- sons for the benefit of the race. Another practical result expected from compilation of physical and psy- chological information on a long line of these records, it may ultimately leaders with considerable assurance.
