The Newtown bee., 1891-01-02

ally caught it up now because I've just
sold the Gov Averill property in Dan
bury. There are three or four acres of
land, besides buildings and docks. Il
don't know what may do with it; it's a
good investment, if nothing more. Move
the business over there? Oh no; this will
do well enough. OF course, if the Con-
solidated road should buy this property,
it would be necessary for us to move and
we might 60 there; but the road does not
seem to want it, for the option they held
on it has long since passed without
word from them.''

The BEE has positive information that
a company of capitalists have consum-
mated plans for locating in Bridgeport
and carrying on a heavy manufacturing
business, one that will be of great value
to the city. The managers of the COM
pany have been quietly examining desir-
able sites and have decided upon the great
Howe property in East Bridgeport. An
option was secured, several days ago, and
the bargain may have closed before this
is read. The sale includes the great brick
factory once occupied by the Howes and
lately vacated by the American Graphic
phone company, with docks and dock
property and not little valuable land.
During the rush of travel on the horse

field avenue, the snow was thrown back
upon the line by passing teams and it be-
came almost impossible for the horses to
draw the heavily loaded cars.
