PLANS | FOR NEW DWELLINGS Ten Houses May Be Built on Tract Now Being Developed FOUR NOW_ALHOST FINISHED Contrcts r Extensive Building Op- erations May Be Awarded Soon— Usher Responds to- Call to Colors— Castle Address liommed—m«s.i Plans for ten new houses, which | will probably be. erected this sum- mer of property acquired some time [ ago by the Plainville Realty company, are being prepared under the direc- | tion of the officers and it is expected that within the next two weeks con- tracts for the work will be awarded. The plans call for all gingle tenement houses with the exception of two, and all will have up-to-date, equipment. | Henry Trumbull president of the company, mitted today that plans for the building are in the works, but he stated that no definite action has been taken as to whether the build- ings will be erected this wummer, although he believes it likely that work will be started in the near fu- ture. 5 The company now has four houses in cou of erection and it is ect- ed will be ready for oeécupancy next month. Delay in the work has en_caused by the inability of the lninville Water company to lay mains on the property. K The comp has been unable tg get pipe owing freight embargo and can get no defi- nite assurance as to when the ma- terials will be shipped. Under the plan on which tke realty company, was organized, the buildings il be leased to the Trumbull Hlec- tric Manufacturing company for the use of ' their employes, the right to purchase the houses being given to the occupants. The company, which ‘was. organized, for the purpose of solving ‘the housing probl¢in rather than to make money, also intends to give residents, other than employes of the Trumbull company, the priv- ilege of: buying homes at reasonable prices after the demands of the\Circle T plant are satisfied. The development of the realty com: pany’s property and its building plans will go a long way towards improv: ing the situation here as regards | housing of workmen emploved in the local factories and will do much towards hastening Plainville’s growth. Oastle Address Postponed. Because of an engagement viously made, Harry A. Castle an- nounced today that he would be un- able to give an address at the enter- tainment to be given Wednesday night in the Congregational church by the Ladies’ society. Mr. Castle will be in Hartford Wednesday evening and con- sequently the address will have to be postponed. It was planned to have him give a” recital on the history of the camal which ran through Plainville in olden days. Mr. Castle stated today tHat he would probably be unable to appear before:the society until fall. The antertainment will be given as per schedule, however, other nu bers being substituted for Mr. Castl lecture. g 5 Pavement Progress. - Rapid progress has been made dure ing the past few days on the laying of the permanent pavement on Whit- ing street and it is now expected that by Thursday the east side of the high- way will be open to trafic. The con- tractors have expended the pavement to the curbing as far as the corpér of Maple street, the town having ‘made an appropriation to cover a part of the: expense. | / Work' on the west side of, the street will probably be started tomorrow. The pavement may mot be laid on West Main street for another month. It is the intention to. have the im- provement made in Forestville before the workmen are brought here and, according to Selectman Johnson, the Plainville ‘end of the job may be reached before July. : ‘When the two highways are finished Plainville streets, especially those radiating from the center, will be the equal of those of any place in the state.
