Although Hit Parade of 1943" is
a distinct shade of the Ruby Keller
Dick Powell school popular in the
dear stone-dead '30s, there are
equally distinct signs about it that
someone took a zeal more pains
with its production than are usually
deemed necessary for present-day
musical formulae. On consideration,
one might even say it is this very
affinity of Hit Parade" to the old
Broadway Melodies" and Gold
Diggers" that gives the film at the
Metropolitan much of the charm
1t possesses.
Understand, Hit Parade" is no
eye-dazzler in the sense of the early
'30s extravaganzas. In accordance
with its budget allotment, there is
little of staging spectacle, no score
by Robin and Ranger or Dublin

of any import. Moreover. its con-

plus revenue, decrease OF $24,-
206.51; interest and penalties on
prior years taxes and assessments,
$4,000; revenue from prior years
taxes, $4,000; revenue from Old
Age Assistance taxes, 5000. Together
these total net decrease of $751;
406.51. When deducted from the net
increase of $l65, 429.58 given above
the anticipated net increase for 1914
Is shown, as stated, to be $113, 023 OF
On the other hand and balancing
off this increase Of revenue are
shown the anticipated increase in
city expenses for 1914. When an
alyzed separately, like the revenue
figures, these can only be deter
mined at present on the basis of
increases occurring in such expenses
being offset by decreases in similar
budgets of other departmental ex-
penditures.
Child Care Center
The greater part of the increase
expected in the expenses Of the city
for 1914 as over 1943 are made up
by the following items; Child Care,
new and separate budget, $65,704;
protection of the city water system
and elimination of the bridge and
relocation of the roadway at the
Wigwam reservoir, totaling $50, 800,
plus increases in the cost OF the
school department budget for next
year in the amount OF $16.494; in
creases in the Park Department
budget of $16,363, all of which to-
tailed together equal a net increase
in city expenses for 1914 of $780, 61.
AS stated these figures on eX-
penses, in themselves, are reduced
by the reduction in expenses as over
this year in other departmental
budget appropriations. For example,
the welfare department will require
$30249 less than last year and the
Engineering department will re-
quire $5,342 less. Together these
equal $36,591 which when subtracted
from the net expenses of $l52,061
leave $115,470. AS the expected rev.
enue is $113,023.07 and the antici-
pated increase of expenditures is the
above figure of $115,470 the differ
ence is to be found In other adj
justments as will be made In various
budgetary items of some 40 odd re-
naming city departments. Thus
the two net figures of anticipated
increases IN revenue for 1914 and
anticipated increases in expenses
for the same year will balance.
Grand List
OF particular interest Is the in
crease expected in current taxes on
the Grand List for next year. Esti-
mates will be based on a Grand
List of 1870 millions, an increase OF
two millions over the current list Of
1877 millions. However, when figured
an increases of one million based
on the 80 mill tax rate will bring
in but an additional $27, 800 in taxes
into the city. A two million in
crease will merely double this, thus
bringing In a total tax increase OF
$500, All amount hardly great
enough to influence a reduction In
the city tax rate for next year as
stated by members Of the board OF
finance.

Arthur's spokesman reported that
the japanese probably had concen-
trated their greatest air effort In
the southwest Pacific at Rabaul and

the enemy can reach with 100 to $50

Many Dead
The battle on Bougainville, where
Marines bolstered by army forces
had secured their beachhead, was
growing. United Press Correspon-
dent George Jones, at Admiral Will
liam F. Halsey's advanced head
quarters, said that through Tuesday
the enemy had lost 500 dead COM
pared with less than 100 American
dead and wounded.
The latest attack by 900 to 700
japanese took place Tuesday around
Pjya village, just inland on the north
end of Empress Augusta Bay on the
islands west coast. Marine forces
held, Allied planes raked the enemy
positions and then the Marines
counter attacked.
Three hundrer Japanese died,
against 30 Marines casualties, and
the enemy was pushed back several
hun dred yards into the swamps and
jungle.
Buka Attacked
Allied planes in strength attacked
Buka and BUN, enemy centers on or
adjacent to Bougainville, dropping
80 tons of bombs on the airdromes
at BUN, while Liberator and Cat
alinas bombed escorted enemy con-
voys near New Britain and Kavieng.
Medium bombers and reconnaissance
planes attacked Dutch New Guinea,
starting fires and shooting down
one enemy float plane.
Heavy bobmers hit at Ambon, on
Amboina Island, and long-range
fighters attacked Selaru Island, IN
the Tanimbars.
