About the end of the present week, the
D. M. Read Co. will occupy the store an.
til recently occupied by Lustig, the
milliner, thus making a large addition
to its already Immense floor space. This
move has been in contemplation for
some time and is direct indication OF
how far this well known firm has felt
the recent revival in business. The ne
department., which will open directly
into the old store by arches, will be used
for the display of fancy articles, silks,
art materials and upholstery goods,
and will much relieve the present con.
gested condition of the store.

SOMETHING NEW FOR pANBURY.

There is some prospects now that the
Danbury sewerage question will be
solved by making dumping ground on
the east side of Shelter Rock. The
pipes will have to be laid around the
hill through natural cut in the sand
hills back toward the Bethel line. One
house only belonging to Leonard Dibble
would have to be removed. The locality
is quite distance from any other habi-
tation and is probably the best locality
to erect a sewerage plant to be found in
the town.
