 DEVELOP BIG TRACT Many New Dwellings to Be Erect : ed for Trumbull Emloyes :. .- CONTRACTS 60 TO FURREY

T,hirty-seven Acres of Land to Be Gut Into One Hundred Building Lots New Company Not Organized for Profit--Ncw Cases of Typhoid. Articles of incorporation filed today with the secretary of state by the Plainville Realty company mark the 1 fpst move made by the Trumbull Elec- tric company for the solution of the problem of furnishing tenement ac- commodations to employees of the factory and for the development of property tn the eastern section of the town, the corporation having made arrangements for extensive improve ments to land in that locality and for the erection of buildings which will eventually be occupied by the fam lilies of men who are or will work in the plant and might otherwise have to commut to other towns daily After months of preparation the m en interested in the newly organized company succeeded in purchasing a tract of land covering about thirty seven acres and located in the vicin- ity of East street. The sale of the property has been reported at various times, but the formal transfer was not made until this week, when nego- tiations were concluded with the for mer owners, and the deeds filed with the town clerk.
 The fncorporators of the company are: Henry Trumbull, who is to serve as president; Frank T. Wheeler, sec retary, and John H. Trum bull, treas urer.
 Contracts for four buildings, two of two tenements and a similar number of single houses have been awarded to William E. Furrey, who had men at work today making excavations for the cellars. The buildings are to be completed in the Spring and, provid- ing conditions warrant, number of other houses are then to be built.
 It Is the intention of the company to cut the tract into about one hun dred building lots. The property will be improved by the laying of side walks new streets and a sewage sys- tenn, the officers having secured a To- cation for beds near the Qu1nnlp1ac river. It is planned to extend Broad d on the bank of the river and later to lay out a highway from the exten- sion running north to the trolley tracks ending at a point between the factories of the Trumbull Electric and the Rockwell Drake companies, the new streets to be turned over to the town when completed.
 According to President Trum bull, the company was not organized for the purpose of making a profit for the stockholders and they do not expect to gain by it. Their object is to develop the eastern section of the town and to provide homes for the employees of the Trumbrlll plant. The new concern will enter into contract with the Trumbull company whereby 1t agrees to lease to that corporation all houses which it erects and to con- struct whatever dwellings the needs of the Circle T help will require. With other manufa concerns, the Trumbull company has diftl- culty in getting help because Of the fact that Plainville offers no in ducements to outsiders and. owing to the inability of the officers to assure the men that they can secure places in this town in which to live. TO remedy this condition the realty com pany was organized.
 While they organized for the bene- fit of the factory in which they are interested, the incorporators of the company have shown considerable public spirit in developing their plans. and people not connected With their establishment will have opportunities to get benefits from the improvements they will make.
 Building lots not required for the use of the Trumbull employees will be sold at cost to anyone Willing to erect homes on them. To prevent purchase of the land for speculation the off, cers have decidedl to make the sale of lots conditional the buyer agreeing to erect a house, the quality of which must be in keeping with the local ity, within two years after papers are passed.
 The efforts of the Trumbull broth CTS and MT. Wheeler will mean a great move forward for Plainville. As has been shown by their success of the rast, this energetic trio does not adopt half measures in the develop ment of their plans and their Ven- ture in the real estate field is bound to be fruitful of satisfactory results.
 Considerable money, from which they hope to get no return, will be expended in the development of the properties which they have purchased and the section in the vicinity of Fast street will be improved and beautified in such a manner that 1t will make highly desirable place for residences.
 The men, through their connection with the Business anl Improvement association and as individuals, have heen doing considerable figuring dur ing the past few years in the hope
