tions and the expanding popula tion, San Bernardino's city council will -meet tomorrow night to consider an operating budget for 1943-44 that will entail a sub stantial increase in the municipal tax rate. Although the city's assessed val uation is expected to increase approximately $230,000, additional tax money derived from this source will offset only a small portion of increased expenses. SALARIES ARE HIGHER Continuation of the salary raises voted for all municipal employes in the lower wage brackets earlier this year will make up a large part of the increased budget. Because of the city's swollen population, the employment of additional police and traffic officers, as well as firemen, is expected to be authorized. Another added cost will be the continuation of a recreation program designed to decrease juvenile delinquency and aid the thousands of new families who have moved to San Bernardino with the development of war industries and military installations in this area.

AWAIT VALUATION Recent enactment of a health ordinance pertaining to eating establishments, as recommended by Army medical corps officers, will also entail the expenditure of additional funds. Two and possibly more health inspectors must be employed to handle the inspection of restaurants, cafes, bars and other establishments where food is sold. The new tax rate will not be fixed until the assessed valuation figures are officially submitted by the county, but the rate will probably be established on Aug. 16, when the council will hold its second regular meeting of the month. San Bernardino's total tax rate last year was $1.2906, an increase of 8.4 cents over the preceding year.

The U.S.O. council at a June meeting deliberated the change in policy regarding coffee and voted to initiate a five cent charge to soldiers.

This charge, however, when put into effect July 12, met with such opposition from local women's groups that the council agreed to suspend the charge until a committee could work on the problem and bring in a report.
