Grand List Greatest
 In History Of City
l943 Budget Carrying Appropriations of S6,369,536
 Approved By Finance Board

A 1943 city budget carrying appro- priation of $6 1869, ,536.Ol, and proyid- ing bonuses of $500 each for all city employees was approved by the board of finance last night. The budget, which is subject to approval by the board of aldermen, calls for tax rate of 30 mills. the lowest the city has had in over 20 years. The budget is based on a grand list of $l87, 100000, greatest in local his- tory.
 The pay increase, to be known as a cost of living adjustment" and which can be removed after the war, will affect all those on the muni- cipal payroll except those whose sal- aries are fixed by charter. It means an increase of $455.257.48 in the salary and wages appropriation.
 With the city unable to secure equipment and materials, virtually no capital improvements next year are provided for in the budget Enough is provided for general maintenance and repairs. Increased revenue from water rents is expect ed. The fire department budget provides $l5.000 for new equipment, while the police department is al- lowed $7,50O for maintenance of its cars, the same sum that is be- ing spent this year. No provision for new policemen or firemen is made.
 The estimated grand list of $751; 100000 is S9,000,O00 greater than that estimated for this year and more than $8,O00, 900 greater than the actual l942 grand list.
 The entire cost the pay in- crease will probably be met. and more, by the surplus which the city will show ill its 1942 operations, tax collections are at a record level, other revenue is above estimates, and there will be large sums of un- expended appropriations, notably in the welfare and street departments.
