MAYOR PREPARES ANNUAL MESSAGE
Impact of War on City General Theme; Budget
 May Be Adopted Tonight

The war ard its effects on Water bury will be the theme of the an- uual message which Mayor Vincent A. Scully will submit tonight to the board of aldermen. Purely munich pal affairs will be taken up but will necessarily be reduced in extent oi treatment.
 Coming before the aldermen for adoption tonight will be the pro- posed city budget for i943, as rec commended by the board of finance The budget provides a grard list of $l87 100000 ard tax rate reduction to 30 mills. A pay raise of $500 a year for most city employees is a principal feature.
 The budget had been slated for quick approval but Republican al- dermen, though voicing no great ob- jection to its main provisions, may seek to delay action tonight. This move at delay is expected as a dem onstration of resentment against re- fusal of the Democratic majority to allow c. o. P. aldermen to discuss the budget at public hearing last Friday night. The majority ad- journed the meeting within two minutes, with some of the Republi- cans still not in the chamber.
 Tn his annual message, Mayor Scuily will emphasize the tremen- dous impact of the war on Water. bury. He will take up such sub jects as civilian defense, priorities rationing, war production, etc.
