THO EVENTS THIS EVENING Other Questions Discussed — Guild Church Sale a Magnificent Success— Henry Ford Not in Town—Scnator Trumbull Host at Dion Notes, No definite action was taken on the | housing question by the local Cham- | ber of Gommergé at the monthly ‘meeting last night, It was decided to lay the question over until December 21, when a special meeting will be |called. Nearly the cutire member- ship of the chamber was present to 'listen to the discussion and the report of the committee. | The postponement was directly the [result of a request by A, I, Rockwell for more time so that he might be lable to talk the matter over with oth- or factory heads in town and in that| time, some solution, satisfactory to {everybody will be worked out, it is lioped. Mr. Rockwell, in his first appear- ance at any of the local chamber's meetings, showed a deep interest in the question unde@r discussion. He gave an interesting talk on the con- templated future of the town, saying [that in all his travels, he had vet to} see any place that would equal Plain- ville as a place that could be devel- oped. President Munroe of the Stan- dard Steel and Bearings Co., was also present and gave information concern- ing the number of people expected here from Philadelphia. He stated {that the plan to buiid community .homes and sell them to the newcom- | <rs was not feasible for all, because it could not be known definitely whether they would remain or not. He stated that, in his mind, the greater number of the people would rather seek rents than buy homes. The housing committee of the Chamber of Commerce consisting of C. H. Newton, chairman; W. L. Cook and A. A. McLeod, presented their report which was read by Mr. Newton. The report was one of the best that las ever been heard at any of the meetings of the chamber and showed that the members of the committee left nothing undone to investigate the matter thoroughly. The report stated that about 100 families were expected to move here from Philadelphia, these figures hav- ing been compiled from an actual canvass of the local factory and the Philadelphia branch. It stated that only about 35 of these would buy homes when they arrived and the others would seek out tenements in which to live. There are a number of single men who are also expected to arrive here, and they would want neither to buy homes nor to rent tene- ments, but would want rooms and a place to board. 3 A resolution was ' introduced pro- posing a plan for the local Chamber of Commerce to form a corporation for the purpose of financing the build- ing of a large number of homes here which would uitimately be sold to new families. No action was taken on this’ resolution, . Mr. Rockwell stated that there will be at least 1,000 hands employed at his plant here and stated = that the matter of housing them had heen in his mind for some time.. He said that he wanted to cooperate with the local hody in every way possible and wanted time talk the matter over. «Thé members of the chamber decid- ed thdt Mr. Rockwell's reqiiest should be granted, and asked him if two weeks would be a sufficient time. He PAYMENTS COLUMBIA Reduced $40 Y at the new low price. livered. Reserve one now The new road between this town and New Britain was also discussed by the members last night. The New Britain Chamber of Commerce has already had the matter before it. Contrary to the ideas that some of the people here in town have regard- ing this new road, the plan is not to build a new highway between here and the Hardware City, but to build a concrete road on the bed that is stated that he needed only' a_short| already laid. This matter will prob- time and it was decided to cal spe- | ably come up for action in the near cial meeting two weeks fro Jage | future when the New Britain commit- tee gets in touch with the local body. Ford Not Here. For the past few days, a rumor has been going the rounds that Henry Ford, famous because of the automo- bile that bears his name, was in town and had visited the local plant of the Standard Steel and Bearing Co., o0s- tensibly for the purpose of investi- gating the production there. Officials at the factory said this morning that there was absoiutely no truth in the night, or December 21. An effort will bhe made to have all the members present at the next meeting, because the question is of such importance and it means so much to the town, that the advice of all the members was needed in the final decision, The matter will be definitely settled at that meeting. Want Trolléy Switch The matter of the town hearing on the request of the Connecticut Co., for another switch to be placed in front of the old Russell property on East Main street, was also discussed. The board of selectmen has ecalled a special town meeting for Wednesday iright, Mecember 13, to take action on this request, and from the expres- sions heard about town, there will be a great deal of opposition to it. Most of the townsfolk think that the addi- tion of another switch where there are already two switches close by, | would cause a great deal of upneces- sary trouble and expense. Tt is understood, however, that the Connecticut Co., wishes to insta'l the extra switch in order to eliminate the! congestion of traffic now being ex- perienced at the switch on Whiting strect which is nearly opposite the post office, Here when the short run cars run up and then switch over, town and is not expected here, Obhserve Anniversary.
