house employees of concerns already here, particularly those on the pay roll of the Rockwell-Drake company, is also proving a problem that building and loan association mlght solve. The high cost of material and the scarcity of labor, however, serve to check any sudden rush towards dwelling house construction and prop erty owners seem disposed to await developments before making any move in that direction.
 Water Improved.
 Criticism of the Plainville Water company for the service given the townspeople has been largely aban- doned since the pumping plant at Mountain View was put into opera ton. The supply now seems to pc satisfactory and the only complaint comes from those who believe that the company should have discontinued serving the reservoir water before conditions at the reservoir reached an acute stage.
 The reservoir water Is now prac- tically cleared from the mains and the residents are drawing water that is clear and more fit for use. The pumps will be kept in operation until fall if the plans are carried out
