WALLINGFORD.

The board of burgesses met Thurs
day evening and received the follow
ing communication from H. l.. Judd &
Co.:
1--WE submit for your consideration
the following petition: The location of
a two-way hydrant midway between
Quinnipiac and Pearl streets, on west
side Of Cherry street, same to be con-
nected with the Waterman of the
borough, the location of Center street
of a gate valve in the Waterman, and
the enlargement of the present sewer
age connection in Cherry street, eight to
twelve inch, same to be graded to and
connected with trunk sewer south
through Ward street; said sewer to eX-
tend to our northern boundary line
We have under advisement the CONSOLE
dation of our manufacturing plant at
Brooklyn with that in Wallingford,
and the erection of suitable buildings
therefor, and in considering the position
we find that the fire protection, as well
as the sewerage, is inadequate to our re-
quirements. We are aware of the liber-
al policy of your court, as well as the
public spirit of the town in tax immu-
mites offered as inducements for the
locating of manufacturing industries
within the borough limits; but ask moth
ing in this direction at your hands.
we feel justified, however, in submit
ting the. above petition, knowing the
increased investments and that the en-
ployment of at least $50 employees be-
yond the present force will be of no lit
tile advantage to the borough. If your
"a
relief prayed for will be granted we
shall proceed promptly with the execu-
tion Of the project as outlined. En-
treating your favor, we are, yours
truly, H. L. Judd Co, W. Fl. Edsall,
general factory manager"
The above means a new factory and
about 300 more employees to locate here.
The action of the borough was favor
able, as the following will show:
Burgess Hassett spoke of the ad-
Nantages that would follow the moving
of the works here as did also Burgess
Barber Burgess Thompson spoke of
the advantages offered in the past by
abatement of taxes. but the company
did not ask for that but the granting of
the petition.

Judd company be complied with and the

the people of Wallingford, through its

lead to the growth and prosperity of
the borough; passed -55-
