 A strong movement is on foot among
 the builders of this city to form build
 CTS exchange. The project grew out ot
 the old carpenters association. Several
 meetings have been held, but no definite
 plans have been formulated as yet. The
 list of officers is as follows: President,
 George W. Longstaff; secretary, William
 L. Savage; treasurer, William P. Jessup
 vice presidents, Charles M. Gould, Will
 bur A. Smith and H. H. Nettleton. The
 character and standing of the officers are
 sufficient guarantee that determined
 effort will be made to make the project a
 success. An exchange of this kind to in-
 clude the master builders of all trades, with permanent headquarters, is just
 what is needed in Bridgeport. It will
 unite common interests, remove petty
 jealOusies and afford a means of protect
 ion when occasion demands.-[Record.
