According to reports in circulation here for several days, Landers, Frary and Clark of New Britain, has decided against erecting a factory building an the property in Mountain View which it purchased over a year ago and in- stead will put up a plant near its other buildings in New Britain. The company never made any an- nouncement of its plans in connec- tion with the Mountail View prap- erty but at the time of its purchase it was understood here that the in- tention was to construct a building for its celluloid department. Officials denied that preparations were being made for starting work on a building this summer. From a semi-authoritative source it has been learned during the past few days that the idea has been given up for the present at least and the extra floor space needed by the con- cern will be provided in New Britain. The company owns sixteen acres of land there and there is considerable mystery attached to what it proposes to do with the property, the officers refusing to give out any information on the subject.
