HOUSES FOR EMPLoYEs
Needed Near Plant of the Connecticut Mills Company at Industrial Place.

Dwellings for the accommodation of the operatives at the plant of the Con- necticut Mills company at Industrial place are an imperative necessity anh
 more must be built at once. About 150 persons are now on the payroll of this rapidly growing concern, but only a
 few of them can be housed close to
 their work, the great majority being
 obliged to walk a mile or more to
 homes in the borough. This is a great
 inconvenience for the operatives and
 will be very much more so during the
 cold weather. The mill company owns
 m houses, t.lose erected at Industrial
 place at about the same time the mills
 were constructed being the property Of individuals who bought lots. These
 are now rented.
 It is understood that the plan is to
 secure the erection of a number of
 model houses suitable for operatives and available for the latter at mod
 crate rent. It was said Wednesday that the company stands ready to
 guarantee the rent of operative -occU- pants to house owners through the mill office.
 This looks like the opportunity that the many lot owners banked on when they bought land at Industrial place. It was estimated Wednesday that those who hold lots could be erecting upon them houses to cost not less than $1 ,000 and not more than $1,200 and earn a 10 per cent. income on their l investment. The Connecticut Mills company is one of the most signally successful concerns that has ever To- cated in Danielson. Since coming here of it's own free will, about two years ago, and establishing a business that i has grown steadily, no local man has 1 ever been asked to invest one cent in the enterprise. It's growth up to the present time is but a fraction of what | lies before it, and manufacturer who has been in business for many years l in Danielson said Wednesday that he | expected to see it develop into the largest industry in Killingly. Consid-
 ering these facts, this manufacturer l said that he had found there was lively interest among local men of | means whom he had approached with an idea of interesting them in the

After showing a net advance of about Is to 19 points a reaction of or 6 points occurred under realizing and d renewal of local selling for turn. Aggressive offerings. however. were held in check by fears of further breaks in the Mississippi levees or talk of a strong spot situation, and the market reached the best point of the day in the middle of the afternoon.
