He would ex- pect to lease for a term of years, not building until experience had proved this the best place for his business. His plan would be to bring a dozen or more families with him for a nu- cleus of highly skilled help, and hire and train others here. Opening with fAfty hands, he would expect to have double that number in a few months.

He is in touch with them by mail and wire, and good hopes are entertained that his thriving industry may be in oper- ation here within a few weeks.

A. R. Chapter’s Annual Meeting—Body of Mrs. Ernest Brangs Arrives From Welles- le; A visit to the work of the construction of the cement road in progress under the direction of F. H. Gilbert on the road between Jewett City to_Voluntown, is well worth the time. The cement mixer is an object of interest. A half barrel of cement is made into a batch in a minute and a half nd distribted in the proper place on the road. A. L. Stebbins and Harold Latham run the machine. Two hundred and fifty feet of ce- ment are laid in a day. The road is a mile long and when completed will have taken about three weeks to make.

A steam roller draws the wagons of cement and sand to the site of the operation, thus saving the use.of ten pairs of horses. Charles Fiske is in charge of the work.
