Coming Real Estate Changes s-Wfat the Railroad Wishes to do-N0 Lots For Sale on Main Street-Great Day at the Beach-PersonaIs.

pending important real estate changes quite startling to the members of the Stove club. One is to the effect that the N. Y., N. H. & H. railroad has purchased what is known as the Reed block. and will either remove it, or use it for a lodging house for its workmen while making changes along the line. It is even asserted that MT. Reed has given notice to his tenants that they must be prepared to leave the venerable structure by a given date. Others say MT. Reed would like to buy the Russell property, near the barber shop. and either build upon it or occupy the small buildings which are already there. But it is under stood the Russell property is not for sale. Mir. Russell. who lives in New York. once contemplated building a fine block himself. and the reporters had much to say about the plans. the style of the building. etc. The panic came and building was deferred. But this Reed proposition really has serious aspect. The reason for all the gossip is found in the statement that the officials of the railroad wish to ex- tend couple more tracks from the yards in Bridgeport through this town. If two tracks are allowed to be built on the western side of the road as it now is. the street which runs from Main street to Church. will be plotted out. And if the Reed block comes down, and the tracks run past the present depot. the bridge across Main street will have to be enlarged. The town should see to it that the bridge is elevated. It will also be good time to settle the trolley mat ter. and have a loop constructed along the line of the steam railway, and thus forever remove the menace to East Broadway. All these things will give our residents something to think about.
