WEALTHY JEWS
 BUY VILLAGE
TURNERVILLE, NEAR WILLINfAN TIC, PASSES INTO HANDS OF
 GROUP OF HEBREWS.
TO ESTABLISH A COLONY
No Jail or Poorhouse There But They've Got Electric Light
 Plant,

The entire village of Turnerville, including a hotel, postoffice, mill, rail road station, cem etery and school house, which for fifty odd years has been in the possession of Peter w. Turner it's founder, and later of his heirs, has been transferred to a cor poration organized by a number of wealthy Jews residing in and around New York city, who are to establish there colony for the members of their own race.
 The village is about fifteen miles from Wnlimantic, and is formed of parts pa uof.d, of three @ small dn towns colches
 The founder of Turnerville was born in the nearby town of Mansfield in 1925 and first located in the village which bears his name in the early 5es. MT. Turner had small amount of money left him by his father at the time and with it purchased an old present Turnerville. He soon had most of his neigh bors working for him at the mill. Later he became in- terested in the silk business and final ly opened a thriving mill, which soon was doing a tremendous business.
 The opening of the Air Line rail- rofd in the early '70s, passing as it did directly through his village, was also a great aid in developing his in dustry.
 As his wealth increased MT. Turner
  tate. buying up first one farm and then another. As time went on he built houses for hts employees, until finally there was a small village cluS- tered about his mansion. Mfr. Turner died in 1902.
 Two of the mills are now being used and it is expected that an enterprise will be secured shortly for the re- maining one, thus filling all the houses in the town with employees of the fac tories. At present the chief industry Is the making of canes, unn brella han dies and similar articles thousands of these turned out every week.
 The village comprises between 5000 and 4,000 acres, being three miles across at its widest point It boasts 8 waterworks system and electric light plant of it's own, while a new trolley line is talked of.
 Thus far there has been no need of a jail, and if the hopes of the pur- chasers are fulfilled there will never poorhouse. The community needs a town hall or some sort of building for public gatherings, and it is understood that this need will be one of the first to be filled by the successors of Peter Turner.
 The name Turnervil1e is to be drop ped as soon as a suitable name can be decided upon to take it's place, and with 1t will go the last vestige of it's former owner. for the name of the postoffice and the railroad station will be altered accordingly.
 One of the features of the village which it is expected the corporation will develop is a lake.
 The incorporators of the company also intend to develop the manufac- turing resources of the community to as great an extent as possible.
