set TAX RATE
FOR CITY SAME
As LAST YEAR

The City Council last night set a
tax rate of 1711 mills for l943, the
same as last year on the total as
sessed valuations of $7,528, $50, about
sol ,290 less than last year because
-of a decrease in assessable valua-
tons caused by the acquiring of
property by the Federal Govern
ment for defense work.
Assessed valuation, real and per-
sonal, amounted to $7,313,680 this
year compared to $7,394,345 last
year, and assessed valuations of au-
tomobiles amounted to $215.000 this
year compared to $22o, 625 last year.
At 1713 mills the total estimated
tax would be S131,7 ISL this year,
compared with S133,352 last year.

Jittery NaZi Germany is still
fishing, in a vain attempt to find
out the day on which the United
Nations is going to invade the
continent. The military experts of
the Reich say that the blow is due
to fall July fourth; their sorry al
lies, the Italians, expect the at
tack hourly, and say the Ameri-
cans and British have a feet of
mighty warships ready to aid the
landing operations. While the
Germany worry and the Italians
hide under their beds the bombers
of the United Nations continue
t h cir round-the-clock bombing
forays. Cologne, Hamburg and
Leghorne have been the latest to
feel the might of allied airpOwer,
and the devastation wrought by the
blockbusters is terrific. Observa-
tion planes report that great areas
of the German and Italian cities
are in ruin. and the roads leading
out of these enemy metropOlises
are crowded with refugees. many
of whom are nearly insane with
fear.
