Living in an isolated section of the town there is very little danger of communication with the outside world and as the family have expressed a willingness { to abide by the orders. of the au- ‘thorities there will be no guard placed on the house.

That the town is to experience a building boom should the embyronig plans of the heads of the'business de- velop- as expected is a foregone con- clusion, as theré will be an unpre- cedented demand for housing accoin- modations, when" additional help is brought to work in the local plant. A mushroom growth -of the Rock- well-Drake factory, which is expected within the next year, will undoubtedly | cause a substantial rise in local prop- erty valuations, especially in the vicin- ity of East street, employes of the concern undoubtedly being desirous of locating '(thln a short distance of the plant. /There will be need for many new houses, and the prospects of activitles in the building line will cause owners of land to seek big profits in disposing of their property. The advent of real estate operators 1s expected to follow close on the heels of action by the Marlin company tending towards locating the main plant in Plainville and the develop- ment of tracts of land for building purposes will probably result. Although it may be over a year be- fore the company’s local business will be conducted on a huge scale, even in the event of the decision of the heads of the corporation to centralize their operations in this town, the erection of additions to the A Rockwell-Drake plant in the .very near future is planned for and by mid-summer the indications are that the force now employed will be increased by at least one hundred before fall. An increase of this character will make a big demand for tenements and under the present conditions ' Plain- ville is not in a position to meet it. The high price of materials and a la- bor scarcity has caused property own- ers to-hold off on their building plans, despite the prospects of a demand for homes, and the amount of building done during the past year has not been far above normal. The activities of the Plainville Realty company may make a change in the situation. The corporation now has four dwellings in course of con- struction and has under consideration plans for the erection of several oth- ers on its property in the eastern sec- tion during the summer. ~The com- pany was organized principally to bring about the erection of buildings to serve as homes for employes of the Trumbull Flectric company in the event that business conditions would necessitate a big increase in the num-" ber of emploves but the directors in- tend to rent or sell the houses to peo- ple not connected with the Circle T plant after that concern’s needs are supplied. , ¢ That the ability of Planville .t8 provide homes for , workmen who might want to come here in 1large numbers will play an important part in the decision of the Marlin people regarding the locAting of their maln plant here is generally admitted. The town is at present handicapped by the scarcity of vacant tenements, the lack of a sewer system and other conven- iences to which men emploved in cit- ies ame accustomed and for that reason difficulty is experienced in. getting competent workmen to come here from out of town to accept places in Plainville factories. Tt is hoped that the company's de- velopment will be such that an oppor- tunity will be given local people to prepare for the reception of new res- idents.% The uncertainty as to wheth- er a sizeable plant will be operated here is bound to cause a delay in the erection of homes and except for the activities of the Plainville Realty company there §s no indication at present of any unusual building this spring. Absolute signs of a demand will no doubt result in the supply- ing of the d@wellings ' required. The town would like to be prepared. how- ever, and people owning property will watch with interest the plants of the combination now in process of organ- ‘zing. Foresters Make Merry.

More Census Blanks Arrive.

Mr. Usher has more work than usual this year, the action of the re- cent town meeting in laying a special tax of four mills to raise part of the | money required for the erection of an addition to the school house, making it necessary to have two accounts for each taxpayer. Collector Hemingway proposes to list the two taxes separatelf in-send- ing out his bills, although he received no instructions as to the method of collecting the tax from the meeting which authorized it. Bills will probablly be sent out dur- ing the last week of the month if pos- sible, as both taxes are due on April 1st. Bristol Boys Win.
