The outstanding feature of the decoraâ€" tions of the municipal building was an immense "V" for Victory made of metal by A. Ayotte, of the fire department, the "V‘" being finished in three patriâ€" otic colours red, white and blue, an artistic "V" of each colour combined into a larger "V‘" by the bands of the three dots and a dash.

The Germans report that the entire system will be ready for use again in a short time. The Russians were said to have used the dam to cross the Dneiper River and the Germans claim that they are going to put the Dam to the same use.
