Public Generally:

WHEREAS, current developments and further investigations indicate the military

necessity for certain changes in and additions to the provisions of Public Proclamation

No. 10, dated August 5, 1942, this Headquarters:

Now, THEREFORE, I, J. L. DEWrrtT, Lieutenant General, U. S. Army, by virtue

of the authority vested in me by the President of the United States and by the Secre-

tary of War and my powers and prerogatives as Commanding General of the Western

Defense Command, do hereby declare that:

A. The present situation requires as a matter of military necessity that Sections

2, 3 and 5 of said Public Proclamation No. 10 be, and they are hereby amended, as of

the effective dates hereinafter provided, so that said Public Proclamation No. 10, from

Section 1 to Section 5, inclusive, will read as follows:

1. The present situation requires as a matter of military necessity that a Zone of

Restricted Lighting be established within Military Areas Nos. 1 and 2, and that illumi-

nation within said Zone of Restricted Lighting be extinguished or controlled in such

manner and to such extent as may be necessary to prevent such illumination from aiding

the operations of the enemy.

2. Pursuant to the determination and statement of military necessity in Paragraph

1 hereof, a Zone of Restricted Lighting, as particularly described in Exhibit A hereof,

and as generally shown on the map made a part hereof and marked Exhibit B, is hereby

designated and established. Illumination within the entire area of said Zone of Re-

stricted Lighting shall be extinguished or controlled at all times at night from sunset

to sunrise, as follows:

(a) Signs, Floodlighting, Display and Interior Lighting. Illuminated signs and

ornamental lighting of every description which are located out-of-doors, and flood-

lighting which illuminates buildings or signs (including but not limited to all exterior

advertising signs, billboards, display lighting, theatre marquee signs, illuminated poster

panels, and building outline lighting), and all interior light sources (as hereinafter

defined) which emit direct rays above the horizontal out-of-doors, shall be extinguished.

The words, "light sources," as used herein are intended and shall be construed to mean

and include any light generating elements and the bright portion of any reflector, lens,

luminaire, transparency, or other equipment associated herewith for the control or

diffusion of light. This Section 2(a) shall not apply to illumination for industrial or

protective purposes except to the extent provided for in Section 2(b) hereof.

(b) Illumination of Outdoor Areas; Street and Highway Lights. Illumination of

outdoor areas and industrial and protective illumination, shall be controlled as follows:

(1) Except as provided in Section 2(b) (2) hereof, illumination on all outdoor

areas (including but not limited to automobile service station yards, outdoor

parking areas, recreation areas and outdoor structures and roofs) shall not

exceed one foot candle at any point when measured on a horizontal plane at

any level of such outdoor areas, and all outdoor light sources shall be shielded

so that no direct rays from the light source are emitted above the horizontal.

All interior lighting of every description shall be reduced or controlled so

that it does not contribute more than one foot candle of illumination upon

any outdoor area. All street and highway lights shall also be shielded so that

each light source emits no more than ten per cent of its total lamp lumens

at angles above the horizontal. Provided the foregoing requirements are met,

any further reduction or extinguishment of street or highway illumination

which would unnecessarily aggravate traffic hazards is not required.

(2) Variations from the foregoing requirements shall be permitted in the case

of illumination for industrial and protective purposes, and from industrial

processes, whether interior or exterior, but not including street or highway

lights, only when and to the extent that it is necessary to vary from such

requirements in order to achieve and maintain maximum efficiency; but only

with the written approval of the Ninth Regional Civilian Defense Board,

obtained in advance.

(c) Traffic Signs and Signals. Illuminated signs and signals which are authorized

or maintained by governmental authority for the purpose of controlling or directing

street or highway traffic shall be shielded so that no direct rays from the light source are

emitted above the horizontal in respect to lights mounted ten feet or more above the

ground, or above an angle of more than six degrees above the horizontal in respect to

lights mounted less than ten but more than three feet above the ground, or above an

angle of more than twelve degrees above the horizontal in respect to lights mounted less

than three feet above the ground. Relative variations in the upward limit of light are

permissible to compensate for grades.

(d) Navigation and Railroad Lights. Authorized lights necessary to facilitate

air or water navigation, authorized railroad signal lights, and headlights of railroad ~

locomotives when in motion, are hereby excepted from all the provisions of. this Proc-

lamation.

3. In addition to the restrictions hereinbefore imposed, illumination within that

part of the Zone of Restricted Lighting which is visible from the sea, as hereinafter

defined, shall be further diminished or obscured at all times at night from sunset to

sunrise, as follows:

(a) Street, Highway and Traffic Lights. Street and highway lights, and illuminated

signs (but not signals) which are authorized or maintained by governmental authority

for the purpose of controlling or directing street or highway trafic and which are visible

from the sea, shall be so shielded that they are not visible from the sea at night and so

that no direct rays from the light source are emitted above the horizontal.

(b) Residential, Commercial and Industrial Windows. No lighting shall be per-

mitted behind windows or glazed doors visible from the sea unless they are covered

by drapes or shades.

(c) Street and Highway Traffic. Within areas visible from the sea, but subject

to the exceptions hereinafter stated, vehicles shall operate at night with no more than

two lighted driving lamps, regardless of the direction of travel, and each such lamp

shall provide a maximum of not more than 250 beam candlepower. Normal rear lights,

license plate lights and clearance lights (where required by law) are permitted. Vehicles

which are classified as authorized emergency vehicles under the applicable Federal,

State or local law, when operated by authorized personnel, and when displaying an

illuminated red spotlight, and when responding to a fire alarm, or when in the immediate

pursuit of an actual or suspected violator of the law, or when going to or transporting

a person who is in apparent need of immediate emergency medical or surgical care, or

when responding to some other emergency involving the protection of life or property,

shall be excepted from the foregoing provision.

(d) Industrial and Protective Illumination. Light sources for industrial purposes

and light from industrial processes within areas visible from the sea, shall comply with

the requirements of Section 2(b) hereof, and shall also be shielded so that they are

not visible from the sea at night; provided, that variations from these requirements

may be permitted in the case of illumination for industrial and protective purposes,

and from industrial processes, whether interior or exterior (but not including street or

highway lights), only when and to the extent that it is necessary to vary from such

requirements in order to achieve and maintain maximum efficiency; but only with the

written approval of the Ninth Regional Civilian Defense Board, obtained in advance.

(e) Other Illumination. Except as hereinabove provided in this Section 3, all other

lights visible from the sea are prohibited at night, including but not limited to light

from fires, bonfires, parked cars, flashlights and lanterns.

(f) Definition of `Visible From the Sea." The phrase `visible from the sea,"

as used herein, is intended and shall be construed to mean and include the following:

Visible at any time from the waters of the Pacific Ocean, or from the waters of the

Straits of Juan de Fuca lying south of a line extending due east from the most southerly

point of Vancouver Island and west of a line running due north and south through the

easternmost point of the easterly boundary line of the City of Port Townsend, Wash-

extending from Point Bonita through Mile Rock, is not intended and shall not be

construed to be a part of the sea; and solely for the purposes of Section 3(c) hereof,

concerning street and highway traffic, the phrase, ``areas visible from the sea," is also

intended and shall be construed to mean and include that portion of streets or high-

ways which may not in fact be visible from the sea but which is within areas generally

visible from the sea.

4. Any person violating any of the provisions of this Proclamation, or orders

issued pursuant thereto, is subject to immediate exclusion from the territory of the

Western Defense Command, and to the criminal penalties provided in Public Law No.

503, 77th Congress, approved March 21, 1942, entitled "An Act to provide a penalty

for the violation of restrictions or orders with respect to persons entering, remaining

in, leaving, or committing any act in military areas or zones."

5. The Ninth Regional Civilian Defense Board is hereby designated as the primary

agency to aid in the enforcement of the foregoing provisions. It is requested that the

civil law enforcement agencies and State and local governmental bodies within the

areas affected by this Proclamation assist the Ninth Regional Civilian Defense Board

in the enforcement hereof.

B. This proclamation shall become effective October 25, 1942, except those

provisions of Subsection 2(b) (1) hereof, concerning street and highway lights, which

shall become effective November 12, 1942.

C. The recitals set forth in the first three paragraphs of said Public Proclamation

No. 10 are hereby reaffirmed. Except as hereinbefore expressly amended, all the pro-
