The new power plant Of the Con-
necticut Power Co., being erected at
Uncasville by the F. T. Ley Construc-
ton Co. OF Springfield, is rapidly near
ing completion. The generators, trans
formers and other electrical equipment
are installed, as well as the large boil
ers. One of the concrete smokestacks
is finished and the other is within a
few feet of the top. Large steel towers
have been erected about every hun
dred feet, from the power house to
Allyn's Point, where tower has been
erected over $50 feet high. On the
Gales Ferry side the tower is not as
high but the difference is in the hill.
Ten large copper wires have already
been strung from the power house to
Allyn's Point and across the river.
The wires cross the property Of Nor
man c. Lathrop at Uncasville and
cross the road just below Freeman's
store.
Plans are under way for the remod-
cling of the Almy place oil Washington
street which was recently purchased
by John McWilliams. The house is to
be remodeled into a two apartment
house with six to eight rooms to each
apartment
Contracting firms in the city report
ed on Monday that the outlook for the
coming year in the building line is ex-
ceeding bright as several have already
made known their plans for erecting
buildings in the near future. Plans
for two new dwelling houses are being
made and plans for smaller operations
are also being considered by several
contractors.
The house on flaming avenue for
Caesar DelCarlo has been completed
and is ready for occupation. The
house is of the bungalow type with

material Improvement over the cor
resronding week of the two pre-
vious years. The 81 permits issued
in these places for the week COM
pare with &c permits in the same
week of 1853 and 81 in 1917, for
buildings costing s214.1s5 for the
current week, against $685. a year
ago and $3.50 sos in 1917. In max
ing these comparisons however. 1t
is always well to bear in mind that
the chief obstacle to building a
year ago at this time was the
weather. which made building op-
hand one hears talk of contemplated
building opera iors and th.,re is little
doubt but that a good1y proportion of
these projects will be carried out. and
in some quarters there is 4 disposition
to go ahead regardless Of uncertainty
in the matter of prices Of materials

state legislature a number Of oils call
ing for appropriations for state build
ings, most of which will he favorably
! acted upon. Further than this, some
of rte cities OF the state are arranging
for the erection Of new schoolhouses,
fire houses, etc, and the volume of
public work to be started this spring
is far greater than ever undertaken
| before. In New Haven several large
and expensive apartment houses are to
be erected and a large number of one
and two-family houses are now under
way.

Centerville Outlook: "Last Sunday
four men in a large Hudson car came
into Centerville from the casts and their
actions we're of a suspicious nature.
They drove in front of the Reynolds

ing in the situAtion.n The trio then
went out east of town and remained
a couple of hours when they returned
and inquired the road to Ellington
and Van Buren,, turned the big cars
nose toward the south and departed.
We did not hear of them again until
they arrived at Van Buren,, Garter
county. They carried a map with
four towns marked. The towns were
Centerville, Ellington, Van Buren, and
G~reenville. While here Collector 81.

and very promptly decided that there
was something radically wrong, but
they departed in a few minutes. The
next.time we heard of the yegmen they
were at Van Buren,. The following
item from Tuesdays Republic, dated
at Van Buren,, August 18th, explains
their visit to that town. -Four men
with a Hudson super-six automobile
No. 560,512, license No. 220, 00S, 1919,
we're arrested here to-day. They
came to town after driving around
back alleys and across the br idge to
the south part of town and then back
They drove up north of town about a
mile and a half. They returned this
morning ut 9 O'Clock, entered the
bank and asked for change. The car
contained two shot guns, a Smith &
Wesson pistol, burglar tools and two
pounds of soap that had been made into
soft balls. The soap smells strongly
of nitroglycerine which evidently hao
been worked into it,"
