C. Jew- ett, who has been here for some time in connection 'with pushing forward towards completion the various con- tracts in the new Theérmos Bottie com- pany factery, will go to New York today to superintend the moving of the New York plant here. The work will be expedited as much as possible and it is expected to get the moving finished as early in April as possible. At the present time there is one more pipe line to be run in the factory which will complete that part of the work. Tuesday a lot of shafting and hangers arrived here for the factory, all being new ma- chinery and was carted to the site on Laurel Hill ready to be put up. Ten j{dynamos for the machinery have ar- | rived. In order not to Interfere wfth the production, the plan is to get the Nor- wich factory operating before the plant in New gork is moved.

As soon as that is in and operating; the New York plant can be dismantred for moving its machinery here. When that work is accomplished and the New York equipment installed, the final step will be to move the training plant from the Davenport building to the factory om Laurel Hill. A Norwich man conversant with the cost of the new building figured on Tuesday that the total now includes $112,591.26, which comprises the amounts for heating, sprinklers, wa- ter towers, hydrants, office repairs, plumbing, chimney spur track, ele- vators, etc. Of this amount the Norwich Indus- trial Improvement corporation has put in $60.000 and the Thermos company $52,591.26. This is reassuring informa- tion to those who have felt perhaps that Norwich wal giving too much to the company to show that it has actu- ally put nearly as much cash into the project as Norwich has.
