WILL THE BRIDGEPORT WOOD FINISH
ING co. REBUILD AT STILL RIVER?

WILL THE BR lDGEPORT WOOD FINISH
ING co. REBUILD AT STILL RIVER?
Will the Bridgeport Wood Finishing
Co. rebuild their plant at Still River
recently burned? This is a question
which is being discussed quietly about
town with more or less anxiety and
concern. 1t certainly would be blow
to the town if it should move, as it has
become substantial industry, employ
ing the year round from SO to 6Oihands
and some departments running night
and day. The president and general
manager of the company is G.. M.
Breinig, who has a residence in New
Milford and a summer home at Lake
Waramaug; the vice-president is E..
e. Porter of New York: and the secre-
tary and treasurer is Frank Hurd of
Bridgeport. The directors are G. M.
Breinig, l. B. Bristol, H. S. Mygatt,
all of New Milford, Frank Hurd of
Bridgeport and E. E. Porter of New
York. Just what will be done has not
yet been definitely decided. A meet
ing of the directors was held yesterday
to consider the matter, and what de-
cision was arrived at The BEE was
unable to learn. TIE BEES represen-
tative had talk about the matter with
director of the company. He admit.
ted that it was fact that the com.
pany were considering the adviSa bility
of moving to tide water, where the ex.
pense of frcights would be greatly re.
duced. He said it was fact that the
company were now largely increasing
the capacity of their plant at Branch
vile. lie further said that the officers
and directors were not pleased with
the attitude of the town toward the
industry on the question of taxation
1t is said that President Porter, who
is heavy taxpayer, favors the remov'
al to tide water. In view of these
facts would it not be we'll for thu
citizens interested in the materia
prosperity of the town to act in the
matter? 1t would seem that it Woult
pay the town to be as lenient as posi-
BILE with manufacturing properties OF

inference would be that: Messrs Breinig

to the retention of the works in New

sowing, to say nothing of the fine

and then you have your land in
good shape to take cowpeas, and
peas are almost as valuable as corn.
Stock will leave corn to eat the
peas, or the best of timothy or Glow
er hay to cat pea hay. And the peas
add more to the land than they
take, so by this way you can put
the same field in corn every second
year, and also add to its fertility
and grow better corn every year.
