 increases, as well as new industrial and private construction.
 The increase is one of 9:52 per cent over the $1900O0,O00 Grand List and will result in approximate ly a $5,796, 900 general property tax estimate. This is $552, 900 more than the 1945 estimate of $5,244, 900.
 The attempt to adjust property assessments on an equitable basis will result in a parallel equitable payment of taxes with some proper - owners paying more than previ- ously and others paying less.
 Any possible reduction in taxes because of the increase will be promised on the total budgetary needs of the city for 1946 which in turn must include estimates for contingent purposes in anticipation of inflationary trends and the like.
 The Finance Board is expected to approve all budgets tonight after which the budgets will be forwarded to the Board of Aldermen next week for final adoption.
 It has been anticipated that the requested appropriation for a new fire truck at the Bunker Hill station will be eliminated because of the contingent need of appropriating s3l ,995 for the 10 men necessary to handle the equipment.

 The ban necessitated a number of changes in social events planned for the Armory. Several fight cards were abandoned The idea of pro- noting semi-professional as well as City Amateur basketball league games also was tossed into discard.
 With the repair of the roof, erec- ton of four exits and the installa- ton Of water fountains, the build mig will be placed at the conyen- fence of the public again. Accom- modat tionS will be made for seating at least 5000 persons for any pub lie affair that may be arranged. This will permit the resumption Of social and athletic events.
 The decision of the state military authorities to take immediate &C., tion to rectify conditions here will be received with great elation by sports promoters. Waterbury may be treated to some interesting box ing exhibitions and games in the near future.
 Representative Dan" Mahaney also was highly praised today in many quarters for his interest in the Armory and his sponsorship of the bill calling for an appropriation of S12,000 for needed repairs and desired improvements.
