Salary Adjustments Of $500 Assured For All City Employees
Tax Rate to Drop to 30 Mills; Grand List to Be
 SI87,OOO,OO

Waterbury's city employees will all receive salary and wage adjustments" "Nof $500 a year in 1943, reliable city hall sources told The Demo- crat today. The tax rate will be 30 mills, or possibly a shade less, as compared with "a current rate of 30.75. It will be the lowest tax rate the city has had in many years.
 Municipal workers are expected to accept the $500 pay boost as sub stantially meeting their demands. Several factors make 1t possible for the city administration to grant pay raises and lower taxes in the same year. among them far higher grand list for next year, huge surplus to be available from this year. and elimination of capital improvement appropriations in the budget next year because of shortages of ma terials.
 Grand List sls7 ,000. 900
 The grand list for i943 taxes will be sis7, ,O00. 900. by far the largest in the city's history. the board Of tax commissioners notified Mayor Vincent A. Scully today. The esti- mated property valuation is an in- crease of s9.O00.O0 over the esti- mate submitted when this year s budget was being prepared.
 Mayor Scully will submit the es- timate to the board Of finance when that body meets tonight. Final ae- ton on the city budget for next year. including pay bonuses for city employees. may be taken tonight.
 Living Cost Adjustment
 The higher pay for city employees will be carried in the ie43 budget as a cost of living adjustment. !" Thus 1t will not be permanent raise, and can be taken away when living costs decline. Presumably, however, it will last at least for the duration of the war.
 The finance board originally ta- yored a bonus of s208 a year for city employees. regardless Of their

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DETROIT. July 23.-One OF the
more interesting experiments in the
troubled affairs of the Nationals this
season is the attempt to convert Roy
Cullenbine from an outfielder to
third baseman. 1t is too early to
assay the result, since Cullenbine
has been both good and bad. but the
evidence leans toward the favorable
side.
In the current series with the
Tigers spectators were moved alter
nately to doubt and confidence that
Cullenbine would succeed in his new
position. When the Mats were
beaten in the opening game Tues
day the former loutfielder was
figure Of futility on at least two
plays that ordinary skill would have
handled. In twilight game yes
terday that Washington won, 2 to l.,
Cullenbine gave an outstanding de-
fensive performance.
Six chances fell to the third base
man and he disposed of them with
neatness and nonchalance. Two of
the plays demanded deftness that
would have done credit to Cecil
Travis or Ossie Bluege. In the third
inning when ball from Birdie Teb-
belts bat bounced off Sid Hudson's
glove Cullenb1ne was catlike in re-
covery and threw the runner out at
first. In the seventh he was pulled
OF balance but made a one handed
stab OF Pinky Higgins line drive.

incidentally, this was the first
run Detroit had made by twilight
on the home field this year. In
two previous 6 o'clock games the
Tigers were shut out by Charlie
Wagner of the Red Sox and Eden
Auker of the Browns. Hudson saw
that the scoreless streak was con-

fore he lapsed to permit McCosky's
tally. Almost Immediately the
Washington pitcher resumed mas
