restaurants TO abolish tipping and

cent service charge was rejected
by the regional offices ow the War
Labor Board today.
The decision from Louis NJ. Gill,
acting director of Cleveland, said
that the board had no authority 10

Both management and AFL

When we get right down to brass tacks about what is going to hap pen to the building industry after the war, we find it is largely mat ter of what the building men in this community decides to do, said Build ing Inspector John T. Hartley to- day.
 Construction is first of all local or community business, and depends on the initiative or local builders, realtors and material men, he said. They ought to be organizing right now and laying far-sighted plans to rebuild their communities after the war, he declared.
 True, certain broad national ob- jectives can be sought, such as a national building code, standardiza- tion of materials on a national scale and broad, flexible national finance plan. But the development of any national movement should rest on sound local groups and should be built from the local con- munity up rather than from Wash ington down, asserted MT. Hartley
 Private builders and business men, if they are going to oppose public housing or slum clearance, must assume direct responsibility for the proper rebuilding of their own communities, he said. Now is the time for them organize a post war planning committee which will

meet all the needs of incoming war workers" MT. Dobbs stated. Ut is important therefore, that the prop erty owners of Waterbury contine to support the War Housing Center by sharing their structures with the men and women moving here to take the essential war jobs so nec- eSsary for the successful prosecution of the great production effort. In authorizing new war housing con- struction, the MIA schedules pri- vately financed building wherever a postwar need is reasonably likely and to the extent that private builders can meet necessary war time requirements" the MIA off, cial said.
 Approval has been granted by the MIA for 572 privately financed family dwellings in the Waterbury area. The housing program also includes 564 units which will be financed by the government funds. A total of 254 of the private units and 300 of the governmental units were completed at the beginning of last month.
 Work was underway last month on eight of 37 family units to be provided through publicly-financed conversions of private property, the report revealed. The MIA hopes to obtain accommodations for 300 families through conversion of ex- iSting buildings.

take an active part in local hous- ing movements, he said
 By local organization, planning and vigorous effort, public spirited building men may gain control of the trend towards public housing. If federal assistance is needed be- cause of the extent and nature of a badly blighted slum area, 1t can be sought in a way that will not des- troy local private enterprise, he said Slum clearance can then be handled as local civic matter with the housing built and owned locally rather than by the federal govern ment.
 There is growing belief that a great part of the rebuilding of the nations towns and cities can be done bit by bit through the re- mobilization and reconstruction of old structures, and we have enough of them here in our own city, said MT. Hartley. Much reconstruction of sub-standard dwellings can be done through rent subsidies to the tenant, thus putting such assistance on the same basis as that of provid- ing food. clothing and other neces- sities of life to those who cannot af- ford them, he added.
 The gradual rebuilding of deteri- orated houses and other structures bit by bit has the advantage that 1t encourages small business, which has aptly been called the nursery of private enterprise
 The Connecticut Lumber Co.,, Inc, has already advised Inspector Hart ley that they are ready to comply with any request he may make in reference to the reconstruction pe- riod after the war. The letter was signed by the company's president, Ralph J. Tremaglyio.
 MT Hartley told the Democrat to- day that no definite action would be taken just yet until the local build CTS are able to view the situation "eye to eye"

Meat hasn't gone anywhere. It has stayed home" was the clue to the present meat shortage In an article published in the current issue of the Saturday Evening Post.
 Proof of the statement was the estimate of cattle raisers that 8o,- 100000 head of cattle ad calves, 5000, ,00O more than last year, and the largest number in history, are in the range country and green pastures of the dairy states.
 Meat is on the table. although not possibly on your table. That means shortages on the coasts and shortages for the Army ana Navy. The armed forces don't have the full supply to choose from nor does the Lend-Lease' said Robert M. Yoder in the article. "Where's All the Meat?'
 With huge war orders to fill, the packer ran short and discovered he could sell more probably closer to home-thereby bringing about the shortages on the coasts.

At the start of last month 342 units were still under construction and $40 more were definitely planned, MT. Dobbs said.
 The new accommodations covered in the report include both privately financed and publicly financed war housing construction, as well as the unit secured by conversion of exist ing dwellings in the locality. The National Housing Agency's War Housing Center at 100 Grand street has already listed quarters of 53 war workers in existing homes and dwellings, and many additional workers are reported to have found quarters independently of govern mental assistance.
 Because of acute wartime short ages of critical materials, the Ma tional Agency can approve new housing only to accommodate the essential migration of war labor to Waterbury as determined by the War ManpoWer Commission and then only to the extent that these workers cannot be housed in exist ing dwellings" MT. Dobbs explain ed.

WEEKLY ELECTRIC
 OUTPUT NEW HIGH
Demands of State Fac= tories Responsible for
 Increased Production

c. l.. Campbell, President of the Connecticut Light and Power Con- pany, stated today that an all time high in weekly output of electric current by his Company was reach ed during the week ending August 2, with total of 25,548,525 kilowatt hours. This figure represents an in crease of more than 16 per cent over the output during the corresponding week last year.
 Mainly responsible for this un- usually high output are greater de- mands from Connecticut factories engaged in war production" MT Campbell asserted, "but private homes, also, are using more cleo tricity today than they did two years ago."
 He explained that since the week ending July 5, 1941, when only 15,- 596,876 kilowatt hours were sent over the c. L. & P. wires, there has been a steady rise in weekly pro- duction eliminating in the recent peak.
