REALTY ACTIVE ON
 HOUSTONEC SHORE
 NEAR THE BRIDGES
Negotiations Progress For More Property for Propos-
 ed Plant of Brass Go.

Large tracts of land bordering the -Housatonic river at Washington bridge are likely soon to be developed into residential and industrial centers.
 Following the recent sale of River cliff park by G. ". GoodseIl & Son, it has been learned that negotiations are in progress for other large tracts of land on the Stratford side of the river with 45 acre piece owned George C.. Edwards as the center.
 That this land is about to be pur- chased by the American Brass com pany in conjunction with a fifteen acre piece adjoining, cannot be con- frmed from MT. Edwards today who while admitting that negotiations have progressed refuses to name those who are seeking the property or the pur- pose to which it may be put.
 That the long talked of brass plant, on the west side of the Housatonie, be tween the railroad and highway bridges, will soon become a reality, as a result of the New England industrial boom, is the theory that is actuating real estate men in this vicinity to watch with keen eyes the reported ne gotiations for property in proximity to the bridge.
 That development will soon begin on the Rivercliff property is assured by the fact that the present owners have refused all offers to tenant the old O. $. HubbeH mansion, even for a tenn porary period. It is rumored that the old home will be demolished and that the whole tract will be sold in separate lots. The sale will likely be interesting for tradition has it that before his death the retired merchant who built the mansion. and outbuiIdings buried somewhere on the property a consider able fortune in money, jewels and bonds, which never have been recov- cred. This tradition though probably greatly enlarged upon as years have passed, is to the. effect that Hubben became extremely eccentric and threw considerable of his silverware intos the waters of the Housatonic river also that in the cellar of the mansion is a secret passageway which by means of hidden doorway leads to a vault somewhere on the estate.
 Many persons in Milford and Strat- ford believe that they know the exact spot in which this vault is located and that by purchasing the lot of land above it they will come into possession of the fortune. There are likely to be many disappointed buyers if such pur- chases are made for Judge Charles H. Peck of Stratford, legal adviser of the late merchant, is authority for the statement that though he was eccen- tric, the will drawn by him just prior to Hubbells death contained every thing possessed by the deceased
