year 1940--the average revenue per kilowatthour continued to decrease, having dropped from l0.43 cents in 1920 to 4.02 cents in 1940, according to the report. A large part of this decrease in revenue is due to rate reductions. These reductions have not been confined to household service, but have affected all classes of service. The reductions made in the period 1930-1940 inclusive have resulted in total saving to custom- CTS of approximately $3500,000 per year, based on the volume of sales at the time the reductions were made.
 Store Here M0dernlzed
 Expenditures for additions and improvements to the company sys- tenn during i940 amounted to $2,- 780,l32, while retirement and aban- donments amounted to $954,603, making @ net increase in the prop erty account of $l l,835, ,069. Two new service and office buildings were erected, one in Willimantic and one at Winsted. Stores at Waterbury, New Britain, Norwich, Glastonbury and East Hampton were modern ized. In addition, new dock and control tower were erected at the Devon steam station to facilitate the handling of coal supplies, new substations were built at Williman- tic and BridgeWater, and substa- tons at Norwalk and New Britain were improved. The capacity of gas production facilities at Norwalk was increased, and the high pressure gas transmission line at Hartford was relocated.
 In the field or rural electrihcation during i940, 160 miles of line were constructed in 408 projects, making Q total of 1888 miles of such lines constructed by the company in the past 13 years. The point has been reached, according to MT. Campbell where 1t Is anticipated that all po- tential rural customers whom 1t is economically feasible to reach will have eelctric service available by l944, If the present rate of construc- ton continues.
 Taxes paid by the company in 1o40 totalled $2,537il7, an increase of S50,028 or PAP per cent over l930. The eaX payments weer distributed among towns and municipalities which received $77i ,822; the State of Connecticut $33l ,083 and the federal government, $l,434,2l2.

NOyENA OF GRACE
 FORMALLY OPENS
Large AftendanceS Ex. pected at St. Francis
 Church This Week
Woshingson Hill

The Noyena of Grace to St. Fran els Xavier opened yesterday at all the masses at St. Francis Xavier church with Fathers Tim Monatan and Owen OIeary of the Francis can Missionaries in charge. In view of the fact that there is Q new so- ciety in Waterbury, the Franciscan Mission Club, there should be great interest in this novea as the priests in charge of this Novena belong to the same band of mis- sionaries.
 Masses during this week will be at S:3O. 6:30. 7:30 and SEQ a. m. with the novena Masses at 5:oO and e:30. Instructions will be given after the novena Masses, and confessions heard after those masses starting Wednesday. In the evening. services viii be held at 7:15 in the upper church and 7:2o in the lower church.
 The school children,s 1ovena. will start cr Tuesday. and continue for three days, namely Wednesday and Thursday. at 3:45 o'clock. This is for all the school pupils. both High sci7oo land grammar schools.
 Last evening the services in the upper church were conducted by Rev. Owen Leary and the lower. by Rev. Timothy Monaghan. Father Monaghan's subject was Prayer" which was both interesting and very instructive. Father MonoghNn compared prayer with the things of every day life. and brought home to those listening that prayer was the lifting up of ones heart. and mind to those of God. He also stressed the point that the prayers of the Mo- vena were for those in every walk of life throughout the city, whether Jew, Gentle, Catholic or Protestant. Anyone attending the service, must have gotten Q great deal out of 1t.
 There will be a meeting of the c. Y. o. at the parish holl, WedneS- day evening at e:3o p. m.

C.L.&P. Prepared
 For All Emergencies
Ample Generating Capacity Assured for National De-
 fense Program Stockholders Informed in Report

Ample generating capacity to pro- vide electricity needed for national defenre manufacturing, without curtailing normal peacetime use, is asgured by c. L. Campbell, president of The Connecticut Light & Power Company in a statement issued in connection with the company's an- fIuai report to stockholders which was released today.
 The report states that 45,000 kiiowatt generating unit has been ordered for installation at the Devon steam station. The unit will raise the installed generating ca- pacity to 23S000 kilowatts. sufficient to cover all demands which can be reasonably anticipated.
 Construction was also started to extend the Rocky River-Danbury transmission line to Nurwaik to iTl- crease the delivery capacity in that area. The company has made and is completing other provisions for emergencies so that 1t will be in position to interconnect its system with other important power sys- teins in the state, thus inSuring greater availability of capacity to all these power systems.
 Power SaSes.
 An 1885 per cent increase in in- dustrial power sales during 1940 is revealed in the report, and in an analysis of sales MT. Campbell as- serts that a large part of this irl- crease is the result of increased manufacturing production for Na- tional Defense.
 Kilowatt hour sales to domestic and commercial customers also showed an increase, although reve- enue from commercial customers was not as high as that of the pre- vfous year. This was due to Q re- auction In commercial rates made in December, 1899 which resulted in savings of $l85,000 to commercial customers during 1o40. Total operat- ing revenues for l940 were $21 ,182,- 733, an increase of $l ATS, 9,403, or 7.5l per cent over 1939.
 While the use of electricity in household service was on the in- ase-rising to more than HOO kilowatthours per customer for the

Within a few hours after the adjournment the Governor appoint ed MT. Cauble to succeed MT Hard castle.
