5. Payed by the Republic and could hold his high office ? Also in Březnice public opinion was against him.When he wanted to speak at a public meeting, he managed with such resistance that he had to leave. The Březnitz population,which suffered him only very badly, sought with an attribution the Ministry of Agriculture to remove Kučera from public life. However, Minister Prášek did not take any steps in the matter and Mr. Emil Kučera, Councillor for Liquitation, announced that he would be sent to the Paris Conference as a legation council. When the public heard this news, another written request for the elimination of Kučera was submitted. However, it seems that the influential personality, who always protected Kučera, has also provided him with good services this time, so that the request remained unfinished. Only Břez. nitzer Sokol has withdrawn him from the membership. After a great fight with the Břez-nitzer Honoration from the District National Committee, and the City Committee, it was also possible to eliminate the public's attention from these fights, and to make his life even more colourful. Erx also lived in Brag, in the home of Minister Prášek, and from here he travelled every week to Březnice in the state ar'omobil no. 336. During each of this trip, he invited to Bivznice a company with which he made trips to the surrounding area and organized festivals. Among others, the director of the Municipal Sparkassa in Březnice, Konečný, builder,Skaxeramksxarxxiker Bürnhaml, tax office administrator Klička, district secretary Popelka, doctor Dr.Karl Hrdlička u.s.w. At that time was always funny in Březnice. In his house, on such occasions, the Schampagner wine was wasted so much that it aroused an aer- gerne in the whole city, which, as well as the Prague Freun e, Kučera could not receive in Březnice. No one believed him there anymore. As a result, he moved to Prague, but before his departure he had a pre-eminent dinner to which he brought two boxes of Shampagner wine from Prague. It was something that Březnice had not yet seen. One ate and drank, tant, played and sang that the whole city was up. At midnight, the friends gave the Kučera a gift in a solemn way, namely a gilded plaque, with the inscription: To the best friend and the noblest heart. Kučera rewarded his faithful friends for this gift. He gave them rings, which he had already prepared for this occasion. Then he definitely moved to Prague. From the house on Wenceslas Square he moved to Köngl. Weinberge in dás Yitaxkerkxxxx Villenviertel. Here he bought 2 magnificent villa houses. To make an introduction to Kučera's wealth, one had to see these houses. The house in which Kučer settled was in Hradeschinerstrasse No.3, It is a two-storey house with many rooms and gara- tures. The second house is located in front of the first and is on Letohraderstrasse. Kučera had the wall, which divided the houses in the garden, and the houses connected with a magnificent staircase. He filled the rooms with antiques and art objects of immense value. The stairway alone surprised with its equipment and precious decoration. There is a question as to whether these items do not originate from Konopiště's chateau. It is known that Kučera collected the antiques and also traded with them. Still in Březnice he had an art-tabler who improved various old furniture and also produced various antiques himself, which Kučeria then sold expensively. The collections in his houses, however, were economically antiquatic, and in the judicial execution in the Jhare l936, they were estimated at 12,000.000 Kč. Kučera could not buy these items, but he had to win them in a different way. He was not yet so rich at the end of the year l9 to be able to buy the items.
