NEW DIMOUT RULES
NOW in OPERATION
Shades Must Be Lowered
One Hour After Sunset
Says Council

Dimout regulations in the homes
do not have to be complied with
until one hour after sunset, accord
ing to amendments to the dimout
orders which became effective
throughout this state last night.
Windows need not be BACKED until
until one hour after sunset, re-
vealed the Connecticut War Coun-
Gil, instead of the previous half
hour stipulation. The regulations
now allow shading of any three
quarters of window rather than
drawing the shade three quarters
of the way from the top.
Electrical displays, decorations or
advertising are unlawful during the
! dimout period. Outdoor areas such
as parking lots, roadside stands and
play areas are allowed to burn only
40-Watt bulbs 20 feet apart and with
lights shielded sothatlightisthroW
at least As degrees below the hor-
/. izontal
For hotels, hospitals and homes,
windows and doors. if closed, must
be opequely covered by curtains,
blinds, awnings, paint or other SIM
liar material for three fourths OF
the glass area. No direct light may
illuminate above the horizontal.
Automobile lights must be BACKED
out over half the lens, of which only
two are permitted and the low beam
must be charged in the dimout per-
iod.

on Woodtick road will begin.
The grading of Edgewood avenue
has been finished and the report
was sent to the aldermanic boare
for assessment of benefits and dam
ages, reported Supt. Herbert Scott
Smith.
The water committee was notified
of the complaint from Mrs. Mac
Mahon of Yale street that water
service to her home was poor. The
board referred to the sewer COM
mittee a complaint from a delega-
ton from Ross and Burr streets
that a storm water sewer shoulc
be installed in those streets. A COM
plant from Alphones Wells that
surface water is damaging his prop
erty on Court street near Wolcott
street was sent to the sewer COM
mittee.
New Dog Pound
City Engineer Charles A. Root
presented plans and specifications
to the board for a new dog pound
at the cost of $500 to be construct
ed when the city is financially able
to and when the war permits priori-
ties on construction materials. The
home will be erected on city LAND
adjoining the municipal abattoir, say
the plans, and will include an Of
flee for the dog warden, and show
erS for him and his assistants. Re-
frigerators for keeping cool the
dogs food are also specified in the
plans.
These plans were designed at the
recommendation of the Society for
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
who have often protested the con-
ditions of the presetn dog pound. The
present home for the hapless ami
mails lacks all the above mentioned
conveniences.
The board of works sent the pro-
posed specifications to the commit
tee on land and buildings with the
crisp notation that such proposal
is out of the question until after
the war.
The board of works accepted the
recommendation of the board of fl
nance that all SURPRISES of the wa
ter department in excess of $780,
600 per year be established as a
special reserve fund to help fl
nance the retirement and interest
of water bonds maturing between
1858 and 1865.
Water Rates
The water department has a sur
plus each of approximately $780,
900 under the new schedule of wa
ter rates. At present it has to
pay about $480,0O0 each year in re-
tirement and interest on bonds is
sued to finance the city'S water
supply. During the years 1943-1955,
approximately $680,0OO will have to
be paid out annually for such debt
service. However, by putting sur
pluSeS in the water fund in excess
of 100000 yearly, it is estimated
that enough will be secured by 1858
to meet all the water bonds and the
interest on them that will mature
then.
The board decided to put such sur
pluses aside each year for the rea-
son revealed.

Sewer installations
Sanctioned By Board
Works Commissioners Instruct City Engineer to Pro-
coed; New Dog Pound to Gle Erected

During The board of works meet
ing last night operations for install
ing sewers on Sheffield street,
Francis White Rose and Park
streets, at the approximate cost of
$3.50 was sanctioned.
The engineering department was
requested to draw plans for this
project and to get in touch with
government representatives to secure
priorities for the equipment and
material necessary. AS soon as the
government gives the go sign, call
for bids will be made for laying the
sewer, however, it appeared a little
remote at the meeting that the fed
eral agencies would consider such a
project feasible at this time. Initial
action may have to wait until the
end of the war. However, if per-
mission is secured, the project will
be accomplished by private con-
tractors, based on competitive bids,
rather than by the street depart
ment, for the reason that the street
department hasn't enough man-poW-
er to do the job.
Storm Water Service
The works board, at the recon-
mendation of the board of aldermen,
requested the street superintendent
to report at the next meeting when
construction of storm water service

CANADIANS ENJOY
MADAME KAI-SHEK
Madame Repeats Address
Before Congress Saying
"Beat Japan First

Ottawa, June 16.-(UP)-Madame
Chang Kai Shek told the Canadian
parliament today that recent Chi
nese victories had not dispelled the
danger the United Nations face and
warned that a japanese victory
would be "the great cataclysmic dis
aster civilization has yet to face. "
Praising the magnificent will to
resist of the Chinese people and
army, she said the last rout of Japa-
nese forces In their attempt to in
wade Chungking by the Yangtze
river proved that much can be
done with comparatively little"
Madame Chiang warned that the
perseverance of the Chinese, I'M
plemented only by inadequate fight
ing material, must not be strained
beyond human endurance" as she
recalled her address to the United
States congress were she pleaded
for the strategy of beat Japan
first"
Japan" she said, must not be
permitted to have undiSputed pos
session of the territories she has
seized in China and elsewhere, for
with the help of time, she is &C
culating added resources to continue
the Axis war of aggression"
She said that within the last year
Japan had carried away about 100,-
100000 tons of raw material, ex-
Guiding foodstuffs, for her armed
forces.
"She is continually consolidating
her position as vicious world
threat and increasing her exploita-
ton Of China's resources aimed at
the United Nations" Madame
Chang declared.
Praising China's success in pre-
venting Japan from utilizing sew
eral million of her armed forces
and workers in other parts of the
world" she said that until "a few
weeks ago" the Chinese army had
not enough consistent air protec-
ton for even small scale offensives.
In speaking of the Axis leaders,
Madame Chang termed Hitler a
"demoniac Mephistopheles nurturing
prosecution and miasmic hate" and
added:
THAT such a retrogression from
a republic to NaZi-iSm) could take
place shows that the majority of
the German people were not aware
of the true essence of constitu-
tional form of government and that
the integrants of making it lasting
and true democracy were wanting
