Co%nn.tee members representing the Bsiness and lmproveBtent asso- ciation, who are investigating the sug- gestion that a building organization be formed for the purpose of,.getting manufacturing concerns to locate in Plainville, report that they have made but little progress and are not great- ly encouraged over the prospects. The business men are making an effort to increase the town’s number of industrial enterprises. Their asso- ciation has received inquiries from several concerns which are seeking a location but the committee now at work on the industrial situation re- ports that Plainville seems to have iittle to offer in the shape of induce- ments, The absence of a system of sewage disposal and the lack of dwellings in which to house workmen serve as ob- stacles in the path of the association. Should an organization be formed for the purpose of erecting a new factory building the committee does not be- lieve it would meet with any great success as manufacturing concerns al- though they are anxious to get quar- ters would probably be wary over coming to a town where there are no sewage facilities and no place in which to shelter the men whom they might employ. While the committee was appoint- ed solely for the purpose of investi- gating the situation as regards the erection of a factory building the members appear undecided as to whether it would be more advisable to have dwellings constructed first. A new manufacturing enterprise of any appreciable size they believe would be a detriment to the town un- less there were homes for its employes. It would serve to increase the price of tenements and would probably create dissatisfaction with the work- men in other plants, with the town getting no benefits, Because of abnormal conditions now existing, the uncertainty of the future, and the high cost of material and labor, property owners are in no hurry to erect new dwellings and even the present demand for tenements cannot be supplied, K making it neces- sary for several of the men employed in local factories to commute daily. IFor that reason the business men's committee is not over enthusiastic over the idea of having a bullding association formed to erect places in which manufacturing establishments might locate. They believe it advis- able to wait until wcqnditions locally are improved. The bullding of a sys- tem of sewers they declare would go a long way towards solving the prob- lem which confronts them. The at- titude of the voters on occasions when this proposition has come up for ac- tion, however, does not indicate that there is much hope for such an im- provement for some time at least. The committee is made up of Presi- dent J. H. Trumbull, BE. H. Hills, and A. A. McLeod. Elliott Bound Over. Probable cause was found in the case of Burdette Oliver Elliott, a New Britain trolley conductor, who was given a hearing before Justice A, H. Condell last evening on the charge of abusing a minor female, and the accused was bound over to the De- cember term of the superior court. Bonds were fixed at $1,000. Up to noon today the young man was un- able to secure bail and he expected that he would be taken to jail to await his trial. The hearing was held in private, Grand Juror .S. 8.

He even insisted that newspapermen be excluded announc- ing that he would tell them after the hearing whatever he wanted glven to the public. The complainant in the case is Bernadine Ryce of Hartford, who is said to be but 14 years of age. The girl had not been living at home for some time and had a room in New Pritain with Hollie Greenwood, aged 16, who had also decided to battle with the world without her parents’ assistance. The girls had been round- ed up by the New Britain police dur- ing the week and they were commit- ted to houses of correction. During their hearing in the neighboring city they gave the names of young men with whom they declared they had been intimate and Elliott's arrest re- sulted, others who were supposedly involved having made a hurrled de- parture to other towns. Last evening the Ryce girl testified sgainst the accused and explained her alleged relatlons with him. The Greenwood girl substantiated her story. Elllott and another - trolley- man testified they had accompanied trem to the woods near White Oak several days ago and it was while they were in Plainville the alleged offense was committed. Elliott denied the charges against him. While admitting having been ‘| with the girl he branded as false the accusation that his conduct had been improper. He was represented by Attorney Greenberg. Attorney W, F. Mangan was also among those pres- ent at the hearing. It was under- stood that he was acting in the in- terests of the trollevman who was with Elliott when the alleged offense ‘was committed and who is expected to be a witness when the case comes up for trial in the superior court. Elliott is well known in Plainville. He is married but has not llved with his wife for some time. Today he declared his intenton of fighting the charge in the upper court. Truckers Locked Up.

Following the settlement of questions of uniforms and the kinds of forma- tlons to be set up, as well as the highen and highest commands, which for the duration of the war will be in Ger- man hands, the nature of the “flaj oath,” which Polish volunteers swear has been determined. Polish soldiers will swear, by the Polish na« tlonal colors, loyalty to “their Polish fatherland, to the German Kaiser as commander-in-chief in this war, and to the monarchs of both Central Pow= ers as guarantors of the Polish State.” This s belleved to cover all gencies, while satisfying both and Austrian sensibilities. lish WAR DRUGS.
