Willimantic, Dec. 17—The Congre- gational church is rapidly completion. The plastering is finish- ed, and the carpenters are at work on' the woodwork, the panelling. The radiators are temporarily set, and the wiring in. The outside of the building yvet lacks the stone steps and approach, but ‘wears nevertheless a finished look. No date has as yet been set for the opening. Started on First Floor. At the new High school building, where the work is necessarily slower on account of the heavy partition walls and large fioor space to be covered, the cellar partitions are nearly completed, and workmen are pouring the first floor at the east end.’ Windows are also being installed at the south. It looks as if another fire would have hard work getting a start in this build- | ing. Jordan Garage. The outside work at the Jordan garage is now practically finished, and the partitions for the street to street runaway and the office will be in soon. The plate-glass show windows are in, and the elevator working, so that the upstairs store-room i8 now occupied. The repairing room, also upstairs, wil not be ready for work until the ma- chinery recemtly purchased from E. P, Chesbro Co. is installed, The Jordan Co, will be well fixed for a large trado when the building is finally completed. Second Fleor Poured. At thé Natchaug School the second floor has been poured, and the windows are going in rapidly, The elsctricians are at work, and the sione-work for the upper part of the building is all ready to be placed, The sides and roof will be started rieht away, and in a short time now, the building will be enclosed.

Important additions to the Second Congregational and the First Baptist churches are being planned at an early date.

Preliminary work preparatory to get- ting ready for the erection of the Con- necticut College for Women in this city will begin right away. It will be excavating for a system of sewers. This work must be out of the way be. fore any work on the foundations can be started and before the superstruc- cures are begun. The work on the buildings wiil begin early in the spring, as soon as the frost is out of the ground. The people of New Lon- don are anxious to see the work started on the college buildings. James D. Lynch of New York has| purchased seven acres of land on| lower Boulevard and Pequot avenue.! The tract has 250 feet of beach front. Mr. Lynch will cut the property into building lots.

Two express elevators will be installed. The main entrance to the building will be in the centre, with two stores on either side. It is posible that the fourth and fifth stories will not be divided into offices until such time as the exact purpose to which they will be devoted is ascertained. Change At Gas Plant. The Connecticut Power Co., will, on | or about Jan. 1, begin the construc- tion of what will practically be a new gas plant on its property in Water street, the site of the present works. at a cost of which is said to be in the vicinity of $60,000. Three new puri- flers will be erected, each having a capacity of 1,200 bushels of purifying material. The present generator house, which is badly cracked, due to settling of the ground, will be remodeled and new | generaling apparatus will be placed in | this remodeled building of sufficient capacity to take care of the growth of A new station meter will be erected which will be eight feet in diameter. Half of the machinery for the mne plant, which includes an entirely new water gas machine, as well as the| purifiers, station meter, exhausters | and blowers, has already been ordered | and some of it is already stored here.
