P ber 1. This Tecord is almost three times as high as that of November, 1916, l cial and Dance in Town hall Tonight The new addition to the Trumbull | Electric company’s plant for which ground was broken on August 20 is rapidly nearing completion., When the addition is completed it will give the concern 20,000 extra feet of floor space and will permit of the relieving to a great extent the congested condi- tlons under which the business is now being operated. The company is in need of more room and for this rea- son all efforts have been made to ex- ! pedite construction. The additlon will be four stories high and will be a little larger than the first brick building erected for the company’s use. Its dimensions will be 100 by 50 feet. It will be modern in every detail and will con- taln proper ventllation and lighting facilitieg and in addition adequate fire protectfon facilities will be installed. The general extensiom of the com- pany’s business makes the new addi- tlon a necessity. Business has been growing by leaps and bounds during the past few years and although more floor space was secured not a great while ago the business is now con- ducted in quarters inadequate for its needs. The company has been expanding steadily through an era of prosperity and is now in splendid condition. It is sald that large orders are on the books at the present time and that business will be exceedingly brisk during th winter months. ‘When the new addition is finished additional help will have to be se- cured as it Is the intention to increase the output of the plant considerably. Should Prove Boom. When the additions being built to the local subsidiary of the Marlin Arms Co. are completed and the new Hills factory is opened for business the town of Plainville should enjoy an Industrial boom. Both of the aforementioned concerns in the past have proved to be a decided asset to Plainville and in the future should prove more so. The new Hills factory, practically finished, is considerably larger than the old one. At present everything is in shape so that it is expected that machinery will be in- stalled at a rapid rate in the near fu- ture. The new factory Is of the most modern type. It is well ventilated, lighted and has an overabundance of large windows which will permit workmen to labor throughout the greater part of the day without elec- tric lights. Although the old factory employed only 50 men the new plant it lg ex- pected will have about 150 men on its payroll. This will mean the secur- ing of additional help and that the population of Plainville will be ma- terially increased, The additions at the Rockwell- Drake company are also nearing com- Pletion and will triple the size of the former plant. Subsequently nearly three times as many laborers will have to be employed and the output of the concern will in all probability be tripled. A new cement walk has been laid from the office of the concern to the factory and construction is now under way on a walk which will extend from in front of the office to the walk which runs in front of the Circle T plant. The company promised that they would lay a new amiesite road on their property if the town would make — which 1s QUIT MEAT WHEN BACK HURTS OR KIDNEYS BOTHER Says Uric Acid in meat clogs Kid- neys and irritates Blad- der.

However, everything at present is in readiness to carry on the proposed surface sewer, i is thought, will not be tackled until spring owing to the weather condi- tions which now prevail and because of the approach of winter. The question of providing adequate living facilities for the augmented force of workmen who will have to be employed as soon as the concerns open in full swing will again confront officials. It is rumored that one of the concerns is considering the feas- ibility of building a number of houses next spring which will be located contiguous to the factory. Foresters’ Dance Tonight. The Foresters’ Social club, nected with Court General No. 185, F. of A, will hold its anni- versary social and dance in the town hall this evening. The event will be commensurate with the success of the club during the past year and the first year’s existence of the club will be fittingly celebrated. A large number of tickets have been sold for the event and it is expected that a large crowd will be in attend- ance. - Fox's orchestra, of this town, will furnish the music for the dahc- ing. The committee who will be in charge this evening are: John IT. Murphy, Thomas Taylor, Ercolo Schuppeei and Martin Foran. During its first year in existence the club has found popular favor, and so- cially and financially has been a suc- cess. Owing to the fact that a num- ber of its members have been called ta the colors, a meeting was held some time ago to consider the feasl- bility of disorganizing during the win- ter months. At the meetng it was voted to continue the club’'s activi- ties. Fourteen men in all have been called to the colors.

Nevertheless they still have hopes of getting it within the next few dayy Residents of this town are reported to have journeyed to distant towns in order to secure small amounts of the commodity.
