This is Tather late in the season as brick- makffig is generally started about April 1 and terminated early in the tall, but it is the plan of local manu- facturers to continue the work: until Jate in the fall this year. The weather so. far this seagoh has not been very propitious. A dry wind ‘and-a_good, warm sun are essentials for making bricks and the cloudy and rainy' _da‘yc were no help to thé manufacturers. A’ brick season lasts about six and i. quarter months.' An ordinary sea- < gpn's working supply .with a single. machine is about from six to seveif million bricks... About & mill)on bricks are made a month. - Of course the manufacturers have setbacks such as breaks in machinery and wet weather. Many brick. manufacturers of By} lin were optimistic when interviewed ~over the 'phone concerning the pros- pects for a busy while others- were pessimistic about ‘the brick business. One prominent manufacturer said that he would be entirely satisfied if he did a moderate business. The war had affected his industry to a‘large extent as the people did mot wish to ! build while the great strife .in Europe was going on. The uncer- 4ainty of the market and the.difficult time in obtaining loans hindered” his business, 3 Although the great war has greatly injuréd many industries about: the country it has also aided many others. The Donnelly Brick company of Ber- lin is one of the few fortunate coms erns that has been assisted. The tompany has been helped indirectly as , It has recelved a large order for'a shipment of bricks from the Union Métallic company of Bridgeport. bricks, Henry M. Donnelly, a member of the concern, admitted that they had received such an order. He, however declined to state how large it was. The Donnelly Brick company is one of the largest brick concerns in Berlin and is situated on the Swamp road, The Murray Erick company of this place has alco received some large orders which will take several months to. fill. Richard Murray, of the firm, when interviewed said :that he had Teceived large orders from.Bridgeport and Pawtuckgt,‘R. I. He said that he ‘expected a banner season. <4 . Off For California.

Plainville News REGULATE “JITNEYS” 10 AYOID ACCIDENTS Town Officials Beginning (e Fear for Passengers’ Sa(sly.

B. in With the astonishing ease in the business of the "jitn and the ever swelling Heet of cars now plying common cafriers between bristol the town officials are ger ot accidents and although they seemingly are without authority to tegulate the traffic it is possible that an effort will be made to do some- thing towards safeguarding the lives of the pedestrians and the traveling publie, Over da score of cars were trans- formed into “jitneys” for Saturday and Sunday’s trade and there was' almost a constant stream of the machines, loaded with human freight, moving between the two places. Comp: tion has become so keen among the operators of the cars that apparentls everything is sacrificed to speed, the ‘os going at such a pace that the distance is covered in from twelve to fiften minutes. Machines built to carry four people sometimes have nine and ten passengers, some of them riding on the running board while the others cling to the sides of the cars, The Bristol and Plainville Tram- way company kept its cars running as usual yesterday, but the conductors had an easy day and they had but a few nickels to turn in when they reported at the office with the cor- poration’s,praspective dividends. It was the poorest day that the com- pany has had in a long time, practi- cally all the business going to the “Jitneys.” Despite the fact that the public autos were very thick all the oper- ators report having had a big day and their profits were large. There were all sorts of motor-driven con- veyances in the field yesterday, de- ¢ autos, trucks, and other high powered cars in addition to the little Fords. Constable John E. Conlon was on traffic duty at the, center and he was kept moving nearly all the time. The ‘‘jitneys,” of course, were the prin- cipal source of annoyance. They whizzed about the- streets, making sharp turns at the center, the termi- nal for their lines, in an effort to catch prospective passenkers, for which several cars at a time were bidding. The fear of accidents as the result of the growth of the ‘Jitneys” trade is growing daily and the selectmen are now cansidering what they can do ‘to minimize the danger. They, seem to be facing a problem very dif- ficult of solution as there is no law which they can use to regulate the traffic. 1 With the Odd Fellows, The directors of Sequassen club will hold their regular monthly meet- ing tonight in the club rooms in I. 0. 0.
