PUBLIC HE AIRING
 ON 1S42 BUD6
Aldermen Receive E. mates Without Com
 ment; Accept Grant

The Board Of Aldermen, after Ks ceiving the proposed 10A1 bud drafted by the Board of Einat
 voted to have copies printed and @ hold a public budget nearing Dee cernber Q. Provisions of tho bud@ get were not debated.
 A tax rate of 30.T5 mills, cto- quarter mill less than this year, ia set up by the finance board. @ev~ eral Republican aldermen plan to ask that the 3i mlli rate be contki1- ued and that the money received frcfn the additional qtarter-Eniil Nax be used to grant pay increases o firernen and policemen. Such . pgo- posal would require . two-thffdg vote for adoption.
 The board formally accepted q $500,000 grant from the federal g0v~ ernment toward cost of construct ing . new dam, reservoir and clllcs- nation plant and authorized Mayor Vincent A. Scully to sign the ilecea- sary papers. s4s
 Tn Q letter to the board, the mayor reported that steady progress was being made on construction Of Q sec. ond pipe line from Morris, but that the additional line would be of little worth without 2 new reservoir. The federal grant, he said, means . large saving for the city's taxpayers. He cited figures showing huge ix1- crease iIl water consumption since the start Of the defense prografA, pointing out that many factories now use large volumes of city water in their daily operations.
