ing that a contract has beel for the construction of a wa an approximate cost of $500
 The building will be one story. of brick and steel 104 feet by 163 feet and will be used for the expanded requirements of the dispersions de- partment.
 Dispersions of reclaimed rubber and synthetics have played an im- portant part in the war program and there is every indication that the post war uses will create an even greater demand.
 Currently, an important use for dispersions of reclaimed rubber and synthetic materials is in the treat ment of tire fabrics. The cords and fabrics are treated with the liquid composition which deposits a film on the cord. Tn some construc- tions the thin coating Of rubber on the cord insulates the cord from one another and eliminates destruc- tive friction. Tn other construc- tions, the treatment permits greater adhesion of the rubber to the cord. A thermoplastic compound con- taining reclaimed rubber is used ex- tensively for pouring into joint sec- tions of concrete roads to serve as an effective seal during all cycles of expansion and contraction.
 The post war picture appears to hold promise of even greater possi- bilities for uses of dispersions in the large potential market of pack aging.

 Plan Not Feasible
 A suggestion made at recent meet 1ngs of the Board of Warden and Burgesses and the Board of Welfare that the office of the Naugatuck Police Department be moved to the room at the east end of the Town Hall formerly used by the Defense Council, is not feasible, Warden Leo J. Brophy declared today.
 Warden Brophy explained that if | such a plan was carried out the officer on duty at headquarters l would be too far away from the l cell blocks and such an arrange ment would make it necessary to | place guard in the cell rooms which would entail additional ex- pense.
 Although the police station is not entirely modern, Warden Brop- phy does not believe the situation | can be improved until new munf- l cipal building is constructed. Such | a structure is being seriously con- sldered as postwar project along | with the construction of several new | school buildings and a commun- ity center.
 These and many other problems | may be discussed at the meeting l of the Board of Charities this even- l irg,s but Warden Brophy is await | ing the end of the war before he I stresses the need of improvements.
