 May Not Build Here.
 According to reports in circulation here for several days Landers, Frary and Clark of New Britain, has decided against erecting a factory building on the property in Mountain View which it purchased over year ago and in stead will put up a plant near it's other buildings in New Britain.
 The company never made any an- n nouncement of it's plans in connec- ton with the Mountail View prop | erty but at the time of it's purchase it was understood here that the in ttntion was to construct a building for it's celluIoid department. Officials denied that preparations were being made for starting work on a building this summer.
 From a semi-authoritative source it has been learned during the past few days that the idea has been given up for the present at least and the extra floor space needed by the con- cern will be provided in New Britain.
 The company owns sixteen acres of land there and there is considerable mystery attached to what it proposes to do with the property, the officers on the subject.
