Pla1nV3lle News SUPT. LAMB DENIES BUILDING REPORT Company Has Not Definitely De- Cided to Erect Plant Here
 ADMITS THE POSSIBILITY
IL. F. & c. May Have Factory in Monn- tain View SoOn--Utilize Proposed Building for Celluloid Department Will Care for Mrs. LIoyd-Briefs.

While admitting that the officials
 are considering the matter, Joseph F. Lamb, general superintendent of Lan- ders, Frary & Clark, denied this morn ing that the company had definitely decided to erect a factory building on the property which it purchased in l Mountain View some time ago from Charles Johnson. It had been report ed that the concern proposed to build
 on the land this spring, but, according to MT. Lamb, a decision to that effect has not as yet been reached. Although the property was ac- quired several months ago, the com pany never made any announcement as to the plans for it's development. It is pretty we'll settled in the minds of local people, however, that the cor poration proposes to eventually con- struct manufacturing plant on the place, probably utilizing the building for it's celluloid department. In it's cutlery works the company has to use large quantities of cel1u Ibid and kindred materials and the ingredients required in the compost tions are so highly inf1ammable that the managers are said to be anxious to have them kept in a building entirely apart from the remainder of the es- tablishment.
 The property purchased from MT. 1 Johnson is highly desirable, manufac-
 turers state, for the use to which the 1 company proposes to put it. The | Quinnipiac river runs through the | land, and water can be obtained with ! out difficulty. The soil in this section ' is of fine sand and can be used for | many purposes.
 Representatives of the company, ac-
 companied by an engineer, visited the 1 place a few days ago and the report l that plans are being prepared for q
 new building is probably the sequel. l While the concern is not prepared | to make any definite announcement at
 this time and although the officials
 state plans for the development of
 the property have not been formulated
 the opinion prevails here that it will ] not be long before steps will be taken l to erect a plant.
 Taken III on Street. Stricken with an attack of heart i trouble on the street, John Meehan of Trenton, N. J., an aged man who was | on his way to Simsbury in search of l employment, was picked up last night | by Constable Philip Marine and Mi
 chael Sullivan and was taken to the 1 lookup. His condition was such that 1 for a time it was feared that he would 1 die.
 l Dr. J. c. Tanner was sent for and he l found the man so weak that he hardly
 expected his recovery. The last rites
 of the Catholic church were admini4
 tered by Rev. w. P .Kilcoyne, the man | having asked for priest. Meehan's condition made it 1mpos-
 sible to take him to the hospital last
 evening and Officer Marine spent the
 night with him. This morning his
 condition had improved to such an ex-
 tent that he was able to board a car for Meriden where he said he had a ] brother-in-1aw who would probably l give him shelter.
 Given Miscellaneous Shower.
 The Misses May and Julia Chuba en-
 tertained a number of friends Thurs
 street at a miscellaneous shower given | to Mrs. A. J. Grise, who before her
 recent marriage was Miss Minnie Shy
 der of New Britain.
 The house was prettily decorated 1 for the occasion. A color scheme of
 blue and white was effectively carried 1 out. Music and games were enjoyed
 during the evening and refreshments | were served.
 Mrs. Grise was the recipient of
 many useful and beautiful gifts.
 Will Care for Mrs. Lloyd.
