It had been planned to settle the question at last night's ses. sion, but a few days ago, Joseph N, McKernen, president of the Chamber of Commerce, recelved word from tha officlals of the Standard Steel and Bearings Co,, that the plans which they were formulating were not ready for presentation. At last night's meeting, this was reported to the members and it was declded to lay the matter on the table until the regular January meet- ing, to take place the first Thursday of the month, of the factory was present last night and no hint of the nature of their plans was given. The members of the Jocal chamber feel that as the matter concerns them more thah it does the individuals of the town, they should be the ones to bring forward plans for the accommodation of the help they are contemplating bringing to Plainville. According to Mr. Me- iKernen, the local body is working for the interests of the community, and the members of the Chamber of Commerce here are willing to work to their utmost for the good of the town. Tor this reason, they have of- ‘ered their co-operation to the fac- tory heads in the present instance, and it is-hoped that the matter, if there is to be a shortage of housing here, will be taken care of by the next meeting njght.
