NEW LONBON | CHURGH TO EBdiflos—Change in iams Block. (Special to The Bulletin.) . New Lendon, Feb. b~—Bu are being the First® ing with the muin modern %un Jainutest detail. Allyn hall and ‘: r:!m wh!fleh Dels t ophilus society several years axo and since thea there have been nu dances or any entertainments of that nature given in the hall, but it has served as quar- ters for secret socleties on the upper floor and the first floor has served as a meeting place for the Boy's club of the Youmg Mea’s Christian associa- tion. The d house was recently purchased by the Palmer Brothers company. It the office de- partment and it is expected that the dwelling will be raged or moved away and_the land devoted to the business of the new owpers, The sum realized from this sale is a material addition to the chapel bujiding fund. The gen- eral plan has been accepted by the society and the architect lnstructed o plans for the builders which is taken as indicative that it is pro- posed to commence the building of the c-hapcl in the near future. A" great many years ago the Allyn hall building was known as the ‘Armory by reason of it having served such purpose for the old New London City Guards and later by Company D, Third regimeat, Connecticut National Guard, and the otaer floor of the build- ing being psed as a piano and melodeon factory by the owner, T. M. Allyn. 1t was from this armery that the New London City Guards marched carly in 1861 to garrison Fort Trum- bull at the beginning of the Civil war. The guards were mustered into ' the United Siates service but mustered out soom {hereafter When regular troops were assigned to the fort. Mew City Hall As good pregress as can be expected for the seasun of the year, is being made on the new city hall which is now up to the level of the third fleor. This lhmestone siructire promises a greai imrrovement to the State street section and will be a building to which the city can point with pride, The building will cost §112,600 withoat fur- nishings. Though being built om the site and about the old oity hall, little remains of the old building. Remodeling Brick Block. The three-story brick building at the corner of Golden and Green streets erected by the late George Williams and used as a bakery on the first floor the other two floors being utilized as tenement flais is to be extensively changed The section used as a bak- ery is to be converted into four etores with decided change in the exterior appesrauce of the building. It i understood that already three of the stores have been rented, the rental to commenre just as soon as the stores are réady for occupancy. The late John O'Hea who was emploved in the Williams bakery for upwards of a quarter of a century purchased the property from the Williamses and con- tinued the business until a short time prior to his death. The property is now owned by Patrick L. Shea, Charles J. Duey and Bryan F. Mahan. For the past three years that section that was formerly devoted to the bakery and siore has been leased and occupied by a wholesale fruit and produce com- | pany. The work of remodeling has already been commenced and the work will probably be completed in the early spring. GROTON.

Kenyon and Charles Noyes reported plans calling for buildings which rang- ed in cost from $15,000 to $18,000.

There will be another meeting of the voters of the district Thursday, Feb, 20, to consider the cost and plans of a less preten- tious building.

Much Mm C.n‘mcfim Would Have Been Done Had Open Winter Been Expected. Real estate transactions likewise show a goodly imcrease in number for the week, the total in_the Connectieut towns reported in The Commercial Record for the past week being 275, against 239 for the like week of 1912, with mortgage loans aggregating $816,- 495, compared with $750,858 a year ago. Twenty ~new incerporations have authorized capitalisation of $1,179,000, or an average of about $59,000. 'This 18 the best record for the last week in January for many years. The record of bankruptey petitions for the week is.so small as to be in- significant. Total liabilities of the pe- titions filed are less than $4.000, and assets of about half that amount. No previous record for this same week is anything like as good. When the open winter is considered there is hardly the volume of new construction that would maturally be expected, If comtractors could bave foreseen the mild winter a muen larger number of projects would have been undertaken. In the four leading cities of the State the number of per- mits granted during the week was 62, for buildings costing $214,610, which compares with 37 parmits for build- ings costing $71,360 for the correspond- ing week a year ago, when everything was frozen solid. Among the more important projects for which contracts have been let dur- ing the week are: Schoolhouse in Btratford, business biocks in New Haven and Bridgeport, power house additions in New Haven and Water- bury, church in Bridgeport, factory building in New Haven, store and ten- ement blocks in New Haven, and houses for one, two, three, four, six, nine and 12 families In New Haven, Bridgeport, Hartford, Waterbury, New Britain and South Manchester.

The present o) Bace between the No: sky ana Gaviti puildings and owned by Novig:oagy will be but upon and all the front wnd nearly all the rest of the propert; will be covered by the enlarged build:sg. erty has a frontage of 3 on West Broad streci and is about two hundred feet in deyti. Mr. Noy! grosky has owned the property fo five years and the rentals barely paii the interest on the money invested and the other eypenses and was there- for an unprofitable investment. Now he proposes to make the property bring him some revenues, saying: “I am not acquainted with Steve Brodie, but I have heard it said that Steve took a chance and was successful and now I'm going to do likewise. I have faith in the industrial growth of this sec- tion and I expect to get good interest on the money I'm going fo invest in this practicaily new building. Developing Park Pla Charles P. Ecclestone recently pur- chased that section of property in ‘Westerly sometimes called Park place and has extended Bpruce street from Park avenue through to Dixon street. He has laid out a street of legal width, graded same and it has been accepted by the town. It is destined to be one of the best laid out thoroughfares in the town as Mr. Ecclestone has been generous in the matter of property for the public use, which at the same time has enhanced the value of his proper- ty. He has plans for the erection of twelve high grade two-tenement houses, three of which have alredy been built, others in course of construction and others to he started with the least possible del Mr. Ecclestone is & i bullding contractor as well as Investor in real estate and claims he has the { advaniage of erecting the houses at first cost to himself and therefore reaps botter prodt than If he had the houses huiit by other builders. Just | at the present time he has a large force of his men at work at Bradford constructing seven double temement { houses, for the Bradford Dyeing | association, and just as soon as thal is finished his entire force will rush she work on the bulldings in the Spruce sireet extension. The greater part of this property was formerly owned by Rev. Edwin W. Babcock and some years ago he offered the place to the town of West- erly for a_public park, hence the name Park Place. There was a string to the offer which carried with it the exemption of taxation of all other property in the town owned by the reverend geatleman. The generous offer was not accepted. Rev. Mr. Babgock was the former owner of the property in Broad etreet between the Bpiscopal church and upon which was located the Babeock homestead. Several years ago he gave this property te the church with the agresmeont that he and his wife were to receive an annuity of $300 as lo as they lived. When the town desir to acquire a part of this property as the site for the new tewn hall the transfer was agreeable to the church soclety as the string-tied gift wag not the source of much profit. The trans. fer was also agreeable to the Rev. Mr. Babcodk, who very generously transferred his intereat in the prop- erty of the 3300 annulty basis, with the added proviso that the house should not be sold to be moved to another location, but must be completely razed. With the exception of the small story and a half buflding that stood at the corner of Union and Broad streets, Mr. Babcock owned the rest of the property upon which the new town hall and court house is now sit- uated. Before the place was eelected for the site there were plans to eut down Union street and there was difficulty in_arranging for the change with , Mr. Babeock, but this was all obviated when the property was pur- chased through a third perty for the town of Westerly. It is expectsd that the new structure will be formally dedicated in the early spring. | KEEP THE CHILDREN'S BOWELS CLEAN NOW.
