London, Dec, 1, 5:30 a. m.—Thes changes in the British admiralty have been greeted with jubilation by the German newspapers, according to an Amsterdam despatch to the Reuter’s. The Cologen Lokal Anzeiger de- clares that Admiral Jellicoe’s removal {from the fleet is degradation for los- ing the battle of Jutland and the in- efficiency of the fleet is shown by the fact that German ships attacked the east coast of England and never saw anything of British ships. | town, Piainville News NEW REALTY 60. T0 EVELOP BIG TRACT 1 Many New Dwellings to Be Brect- ed for Trumbull Emloyes o CONTRACTS GO TC FURREY Thirty-sevén Acres of Land to Be out Into One Hundred Building Lots— New Company Not Organized for Profit—New Cases of Typhoid. Articles of incorporation filed today with the secretary of state by the Plainville Realty company mark the firzst move made by the Trumbull Elec- tric company for the solution of the problem of furnishing tenement ac- commodations to employes of the factory ‘and for the development of property™{n the eastern section of tha the corporation having made arrangements for extensive improve- ments to land in that locality and for the erection of buildings which will eventually be occupied by the fam- ilies of men who are or will work in the plant and might otherwise have to commute to other towns daily. After months of preparation the men interested in the newly organized company succeeded in purchasing a tract of land covering about thirty- seven acres and located in the vicin- ity of East street. The sale of the property has been reported at various times, but the formul transfer was not made until this week, when nego- tiations were concluded with the for- mer owners, and the deeds filed with the town clerk, The incorporators of the company are: Henry Trumbull, who is to serve as president; Frank T. Wheeler, sec- retary, and John H. Trumbull, treas- urer. Cortracts for four buildings, two of two tenements and a similar number of single houses have been awarded to William E. Furrey, who had men at work today making excavations for the cellars. The buildings are to be completed in the Spring and, provid- ing conditions warrant, a number of other houses are then to be bullt. It is the intention of the company to cut the tract into about one hun- dred building lots. The property will be improved by the laying of side- walks, new streets and a sewage s tem, the officers having secured a lo- cation for heds near the Quinnipiac river. It is vlanned to extend Broad street for ahout 2,500 feet to a point on the bank of the river and later to lay out a highway from the exten- sion running north to the trolley tracks ending at a point between the factories of the Trumlull Electric and the Rockwell Drake companies, the new streets to be turned over to the town when completed. According to President Trumbull, the company was not organized for the purpose of making a profit for the stockholders and they do. mot expect to gain by it. Their object is to develop the eastern section of the town and to provide homes for the emploves of the Trumbull plant. The new concern will enter into a contract with the Trumbull company whereby it agrees to lease to that corporation all houses which it erects and to con- struct whatever dwellings the needs of the Circle T help will require. With other manufacturing concerns, the Trumbull company has diffi- culty in getting help because of the fact that Plainville offers no in- ducements to outsiders and, owing to the inability of the officers to assure the men that they can secure places in this town in which to live. To remedy this condition the realty cop- pany was organized. While they organized for the bene- fit of the factory in which they are interested, the incorporators of the company have shown considerable public spirit in developing their plans, and people not connected with their establishment will have opportunitie§ to get henefits fromthe improvements Building lo required for the use of the Trumbull employes Will be sold at cost to anyone willing to erect homes on them. To prevent purchase of the land for speculation the offi- cers have decided) to make the sale of lots conditional, the buyer agreeing to erect a house, the quality of whidh must be in keeping with the local- ity, within two years after papers are passed. The efforts of the Trumbull broth- and Mr? Wheeler will mean a at move forward for Plainville. As s been shown by their success of the past, this-energetic trio does not adopt half measures in the develop- ment of their plans and théir ven- ture in the real estate fleld is bound to be fruitful of satisfactory results. Considerable money, from which they hope to get no return, will be expended in the development of the properties which they have purchased and the section in the vicinity of Fast street will be improved and beautified in such a manner that it will make a highly desirable place for residences. The men, through their connection with the Business anl Improvement association and as individuals, have bheen doing considerable figuring dur- ing the past few years in the hope of finding a solution to the problem caused by the scarcity of vacant tene- ments and the organizing of the realty company is the result. Many of the men working in their factory live in other places because they cannot get suitable accommodations here and others whe might be willing to sell their services to their manufacturing company hesitate owing to the dis- comforts and expense of commuting every day. The dwellings to be constructed on the realty company’s property will be Hartiord .§ Silk Storeg 2 MAIL ORDERS 7'3 REFULLY Agents for | ‘Standard Patterns AND PROMPTLY FILLED THE SAME DAY AS RECEIVED SATURDAY AT.

Developments of today in the tp- phoid epidemic give strength to the theory held by Health Officer J. N. Bull and Chairman Black of the state board of health that the disease has been contracted from the use of milk sold by Lyman Burt. Five new cases have become positive during the past few days according to in- formation glven to Dr. Bull. The patients have been ill for a number of days and have shown symptoms of the disease but diagnosis was not. made until yesterday Among those now typhoid, whose cases had not been reported Wednesday, are Miss Doro- thy Conlon and Wilson J: Ellis of Whiting street, both of whom have been taken to hospitals rank Dar- azlo of Pearl street; Miss Alice Bug- bee of Broad street and a Whiting street colored man named Johnson.
