City Plans 46 Budget Report and Tax Rate Stay
City departments were asked to submit budgets by November 15 for hearings. Officials expect the 1946 tax rate to remain at 50 cents per $100. City plans include a $400,000 municipal auditorium war memorial and other postwar projects amid a reported $1 million treasury surplus. Officials say no tax cut next year due to anticipated larger outlays from postponed wartime improvements. Last year’s rate dropped from 55 to 50 cents. Baltimore and other cities face different fiscal paths as tax strategies diverge.

Idle German Youths And Soldiers Show Unrest in Occupation Zone
In Frankfurt on October 31 the American Military Government reported growing unrest among idle German youths and returning soldiers in the American occupation zone. The militants are seen as risky for organized resistance, driven by resentment against displaced persons who are blamed for thefts of food and property. Bremen saw 20 youths arrested for planning an attack. About 22,000 civilian police were on duty, with arms restrictions in Bremen. Authorities note some improvement but cases of murder and looting persist. They hope 60 to 70 percent of 250,000 displaced Poles will be repatriated by December 1, 1945.
