Mayors Desire to Cut Tax Rate Curbed By Pending
 Dept. Requests

Requests for several new major city expenditures and indications that increased appropriations will be asked by a number of city depart ments have begun to get the city hall worried about the 1941 budget. Mayor Vim cent A. Scully wants a reduc- tion in the tax rate, and will seek to cut down new and regular appropriations as much as possible to reach this end.
 The mayor, for instance, is favor able toward the plan for city sys- tenn of rubbish collection, beginning Jan. l. Yet he told a delegation from local community clubs this week that careful consideration will have to be given the plan, in view of the expense involved. He hopes to cur- tail expenditures as much as poS- SlDle next year, uc Sd1us WAuAOut sacrificing reasonable service to the public.
 Among other items for which large. sums are being sought in the 1s4l budget. will be new snow re- moval equipment for the street de- partment, erection of a new Wash- ington avenue bridge to replace the one now being repaired, large-scale extension of water mains, major street repairs and improvements, etc.
 The present tax rate is 32.5 mills, |2 1-2 mills less than of last year. A further reduction is due next year, but 1t is still much too early to know how much of a cut can be
