The Plainville Realty company has the building of 49 houses the East Broad street and Linden street districts. The work was finished month and had covered a period of several months. James E. Bent, of Hartford, contractor, had charge ! of the and made a remarkable record for this section by completing half them last June. The building are of one and two ten- ements, the majority of them being one story, This district will eventual- 1y be the finest of Plainville and stand out as a selected section of the town There still remains some dozen or more houses to be occupied. The Plainville Realty company is con- trolled by John H. Trumbu!l, Henry Trumbull and K. T. Wheeler. The majority of the tenants are workers of the Trumbull Electric comipany but there are however, olthers who live there, The project of building this group of hou: was siarted when the housing situation became so serious shortly after the r. The town was crowded with workers and there was always a shortage of accommodation. The first number of hou which sprung up were quickly occupied and aided con- iderably in relieving the situation. here is no of a shortage in the town at as with the closing of the large factories, the Standard and Bearings plant and the Bristol Mills, many moved from the town. The Siundard Stoel workers were outsiders and with the ¢losing of the plants, naturally moved. The houses built contains all im- provements and are not built on the style which the usual factory tene- ment is. The entire ground of the Really company covers 135 acres and extends almost to the side of the mountains, beyond the swampy dis- trict, A new street (Linden street) w recently made which extended the new district, and comes out upon the troiley tracks near the Trumbull factory. A concrete walk has been laid and the houses will soon be built along this section. One feature the Realty company s aceomniished, is the draining of the swam- land beyond the hous- | ing district. There 1s a brook run- ning through this section and the d about it, for a great distance, was reduced to a muddy, swampy, almost jmpassable ground, that was | regarded as being worthless. Opera- ! tions were started about three years |ago to lower the level of the brook. {1t proved to be successful. Today | the land s completely drained of its water and will in the near fu- | ture, be a suitable building place. The saving of this land meant a zreat deal to the future of Plain- ville. The brook level has been lowered almost 36 inches. This property will mean a lot a to the East Broad street resi- | dents as eventually it will be con- verted into valuable planting ground. The work of lowering the brook and making improvementy on the land completed in last work more than of fear present, two Steel | d from tomorrow until March 3. H iiev.
