Brick Yards Depleted-The Enlargement
 of Factories.
 A scarcity of brick prevails, the brick yards at North Haven being nearly depleted. Work was suspended yesterday on the par ochial school, Fair Haven, which is being erected by Gallagher & Reilly for St. Fran cis parish The masons began work 8 week or ten days ago, and the partition walls of the cellar have been laid. It is not ex- pected that brick in sufficient quantity can be obtained to resume work until about July 1st. The scarcity is owing to the great de- mands upon the brick yards which have been made of late. Seven hundred thousand were taken for the new and extensive manu- featuring buildings, in process of erection in Meriden, and hundreds of thousands have been taken for the extensive factory enlarge ments in Ansonia, Birmingham and other places in the Naugatuck valley. Two hun dred thousand are required for the parochial school in Fair Haven, and more than 8 quar- ter of amillion were taken for the new pub lie school house in Fair Haven. Some of the dealers have small quantities left, which are reserved for customers. Work on the vari- ous brick buildings in this city. the erection of which was begun some time since, will not stop, as the brick for them were ordered months ago. but new contracts will have to wait awhile.
