 The N. V, ~. H. & H. R. R. Go, is endeavoring to settle on a suitable site to build a new modern freight house. with offices and sheds and re- quired yard facilities. Tuesday the division engineer and other officials were in Jewett City in their special car, looking at the two proposed spots which are under consideration These two places are what is known as the old Slater's grove on the Quinebaug. and a tract situated on the line above the J. D. LeClsir bakery, belonging to the Aspinook Company. The officials say that nothing stands in the way ex- cept the securing of a suitable place and agreeable terms The right of way to approach the Slater grove would be off Main street at Wolfs garage.
 For several years a congested yard and much too small freight-h house have demanded extensive improve ments in this line. Now actual work is not far distant It is believed that the heavy shippers and freight receiv- CTS will have an opportunity to ex- press their preference in the matter
 It is reasonably certain that the railroad will do for Jewett City in this particular what they did in the mat ter of a new 9ation-give the borough enc of the best on the line.
