Increases in the city's revenues il anticipated for 1945 on such items as taxes on busses, fees for electrical contractors and fees on issuance of electrical permits.
 An increase of $6,0OO is anticipat- ed on bus tax paid to the city by the state under public utility stat utes. This anticipation is based on the current revenue which, to date, has exceeded the 1924 budget anti cipation of $14,00c.
 An increase of $70O to $1 400 on electrical contractors is anticipated for 1945 for much the same reasons as the bus tax: current revenue ex- ceeding current anticipations. This increase is due mainly from the fact that license fees are now de- manded from all master electricians in local factories, who heretofore were free from such fees. This is in accordance with the new electrical ordinance adopted in 1943 by the al- dermen and placed into effect Jan- uary l, 1944.
 Also by reason of this ordinance
