POLICE BOARD
 FAVORS RAISE
20 Per Cent Boost in Wages UnOffiCiaIIy As-
 Sured Policemen

Members of the board of police commissioners are reported to have given committee of policemen the green light" in connection with their efforts to obtain a 20 per cent salary increase for the duration of the war.
 While no official announcements have been made by the board 8 re- liable authority told The Democrat that policemen have been assured by board members that the board is loo percent in favor of an increase
 Whether the board will take of ficial action in recommending the increase is not known at this time but there are indications that this will develop.
 Meanwhile committee represent ing the fire department in it's cam paign to obtain a 20 percent increase for the duration is awaiting word from the fire board. The committee conferred with the fire board on the subject of pay increases about a month ago.
 The fire board has given no indi- cation of its feelings on the matter.
 Bremen and policemen sought the sanction of their respective boards before taking the matter to the board of finance and Mayor Vincent A. Scully.

Let's have more arrests and few- CT warnings for speeding" said Commissioner William Black ct last Wednesdays meeting of the police board, opening a discussion which led to the order for drastic action. against speeders. 4
 Commissioners Wendell Cross and William Ramon agreed with Com- missioner Blacks statement that there have been very few arrests for speeding lately although there have been many instances in which ar- rests should have been made.
 T have stood on street corners and watched drivers fly by at reck. less and dangerous rates of speed, T. said Commissioner Black. And the, sad part of the story is that police men have been in the same inter- section watching but doing nothing about it."
 Supt. Roach's reply that men or foot have difficult time chasing, speeders was met with comment that. it is not necessary to give chase at the moment. At the very least the marker numbers should be talk en. He can go after the driver later" said Commissioner Black. If a policeman uses his whistle he 1n- variably obtains the desired result, he continued.

Suggestions For Softening King
 Winters Blasts

Fuel oil this winter will be as hard to find as the proverbial needle in a haystack"-and even if limited quantity is available you probably will need a ration card to get 1t, according to- off, cials o fthe War Production Board and the Office of Fuel Coordina- tor.
 But the future may not be so cold If you follow these sugges' tions by the American Society of eating and Ventilating Engineers for keeping your home warm on less fuel:
 1. Install storm windows and
 doors.
 2. Insulate ceilings ad walls. 3. Membership doors and
 windows.
 4. Install automatic heating
 controls.
 5. Wear warmer clothing with
 lower room temperatures. 6. Don't heat unused rooms. T. Insulate hot water heaters. 8. Improve radiator efficiency. 9. Check furnace combustion
 efficiency.
 10. Recondition your heating
 plant.
 Those suggestions were fromu- lated by the Society as part of its national fuel conservation pro- gram which was inaugurated on August IT with a War on Fuel Waste Week."

men who will be free to work file applications before they return to studies in the fall. Large numbers of men will be hired for the seasonal rush.
 An announcement from the post office department states that a spe- cial effort will be made to deliver all mail destined for servicemen before Christmas when the packages are mailed within the prescribed time. Shippers are required to limit packages to II pounds in weight and Is inches in length, in view of the urgent need of shipping space for war materials. Not more than one package can be accepted for mailing from one person to the same addressee during one week.
 Families and friends of service men have been urged not to send food or clothing, because adequate supplies exist for all armed forces and the transportation space might be utilized far better to ship. ar- ticles which the men do not al- ready have.

discussion of the idea with mem bers of the other boards in the im- mediate future.
 The experiment period for the present site of the bus stop on the Green will expire September 19. The bus stop was moved July Is from the north side of East Main street following receipt of claims from merchants in that block who held that their businesses were in- terfered with by crowds of bus patrons.
 Members of the police board commented at the recent meeting that if the present site of the stor is made permanent some sort oi shelter will be required There are no buildings on the Green to offer shelter to persons waiting for bus ses. Rainy weather and the return of the starlings in the fall would make waiting for bus on the Green an uncomfortable business under present circumstances.
 In the event a bus shelter Is constructed the police board will recommend that the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Company be required to bear at least portion of the cost
 The matter of constructing an air raid shelter under the bus stop would be up to the city, however.
 Board members expressed the opinion that it would be simple matter to "dig under" the proposed bus stop and pour in concrete or other suitable bulwark material to provide a central and safe haven from Axis bombs.
 Actually there are few buildings in Waterbury which can be regarded first rate air raid shelters and the idea is expected to catch the fancy of the Waterbury public.
