Changes in Thread Company Tenant
 Rules

There will be several changes in the tenants of the American Thread company houses on lower Main street as the result of the enforcing of the rule which requires that three mem bers of the family must be employed by the company. This action is the result Of a demand for the houses. Several of the tenants have been mo- tif1ed of the ruling and were told to find a tenement in some other part of the city.
 This action is the result of a big demand for tenenients which the com pany will try to meet by building 15 houses for their workers. The houses re rented cheap, as the rent has not been raised while all of the other landlords in Wilimantic have nearly doubled the prices
