FORTY TENEMENT
HOUSES AT PLAINFIELD
Being Erected for Help of the New
Mill There.

Under the direction of civil engi-
neer from. Providence, the work of
erecting the tenement houses for the
new mill al Plainfield is being pushed
rapidly forward and it is hoped that
the work will be completed before cold
weather sets in
South of the new school building,
and north of the Albert Green place,
four of the mill story and half dwell
ings, now framed, face the main street
and to the westward cellars are being
put in for rows of other mill dwellings
of the same size, four in each row. ex-
Cept below the hill near the mill where
a street of these dwellings extends
further north and south to the Durin
Bennett property. In all, forty two
tenement dwellings, are in process of
construction.
E Three streets are being mapped out,
none of which has yet been named, and
these will run winding north and south
each having four dwellings on a side.
South of these dwellings forty-foo
street will lead westward from Main
street. giving access to the shorter
streets noted above and extending to
to the mill plant proper. About fifty
men and eight teams are employed on
the job. The work of grading and
turfing goes forward at the same time,
together with laying out of street, dig
ging cellars. and getting lumber ready
for the builders, and the whole, cou-
pied with the men busily employed in
the distance OH the new mill, makes
a busy scene. indeed and the locker
on finds himself wondering if this is
really Plainfield.
In addition to the above, two larger
mill dwellings, each two and a half
stories in size, built more elaborately
and having modern conveniences are
being built forth of the new school
house on a proposed new street lead
ing south from Main. The one on the
corner is for the new superintendent.

WILLIMANTIc CAR BARN

Two Closed Cars and Snow Plow Also
Consumed-Loss Estimated at $4,000.
(Special to The Bulletin.

Willimantic, August 25.-Wilima ntic
had $4,000 fire Friday night The
car barn of the Connecticut company
located near the town farm, about a
mile from the business section of the
city, was entirely destroyed, also two
large winter cars snow pillow and a
lot of machinery. The cause of the
fire is unknown. The alarm was sent
in at 1885 and all the companies. in
the city responded. They could do

came from the burning structure with
the trolley car that was on fire. His
quick and daring work saved the COM
pany quite a little money There is
no one at the barn nights. but the con-
ductor of the 9.15. trolley went into
the barn about an hour before the fire
broke out and everything was all right
at that time. The fire broke out in
the machine shop in the rear of the
barn. The firemen worked for about

OILING HIGHWAYS MAKES
TROLLEYiNG ENDURABLE
One of the Changes Improvement Of
Road Condition Has Brought About.

Although automobiles are steadily
increas sing in number. because of the
reasonable prices at which many
makes can be obtained. and the i'm
mense service they give, it is re-
markable fact that an indirect result
of the growth of autoing is the in
crease noticed in long distance trolley
riding. The connection between au-
toing and trolleying is by means of
the improvement of highways in the
country towns. and it is a fact that the
better the highways become, in other
words, the less dust there Is, the great
er the patronage of the trolley cars.
This is being proved this year along
the highway between Norwich and
New London, which now is in almost
perfect condition for autoing, and
thdough which trolley cars make fast
time every hour.
The agitation by Automobiles and
residents of the towns for better roads
had done not little to bring about the
extensive use of tar. crude oil and
other dust-laying preparations. Con-
necticut ranks as one of the first states
to take up road improvement. and it
is one of the leaders in dust-laying ex-
periments. Not only does the motorist
find he does not have to swallow the
dust of the man ahead of him, but the
machines no longer raise the choking
clouds that proved so unpleasant to
I0OSo TlOlnS III the tTOiley cars. lie
front seat is now agerly sought, for
there is where the breeze is best. AS
a matter of fact, the trolley rider gets
more breeze than the motorist. for he
has a dust and wind shield, while the
trolley front is open.
A heavy coating of oil has been
applied to most of the highways in the
state, which not only lays the dust but
BINDS the top coating SO that the
swiftly moving wheels do not disin-
tegrate the surfase as they used to.
OF course this means a saving of
money to the state and towns in the
cost of maintaining highways and
adds to the pleasure of that part of
the public which is unable to afford
an automobile
One finds almost as little dust on the
state highways now as he would meet
in trip down the river, and it is pos
sble for people living in the country
to sit on their front porches and en-
joy the air and scenery-all because of
modern roaG Improvement.

NEW VIOLIN METHOD
Perfected by Raymond 3. ElIred After
Long Practice.

With the view of perfecting himself
in a new violin method which was
brought out in the European cities
about three years ago, Raymond B.
Eldred, well known locally as a vio-
linist of more than ordinary ability,
has been putting much time and at
tention upon this development in violin
playing. 1t is known as the psyche
physiological method, and has had his
close attention and study for the past
two years.
The new method departs from the
old in one striking particular, in that
all pupils do not follow the same
course of exercises which has ordinar-
lily kept beginners constantly in the
first position" The erSire range of
the instrument is one of the objects
in thorough and systematic way ac-
complished, but in every way the in
dividuality of the pupil is cultivated,
and the right foundation laid for true
musical structure. He has decided to
return here from Willimantic.
