and very specific building regulations
and a thoroughly competent building
inspector in Benjamin r. Linicus, a
practical builder WHO devotes h s
whole time to the duties of the office
at a salary of $1,000 a year. He not
only issues the permits but also sees
to it that all buildings are constructed
according to regulations, which provide
special fire prevention ideas shat have

and experienced architects.
The buildings in course Of construc-
ton are frequently inspected by Mr..
Linicus and as a consequence builders
make sure they are right befroe going
ahead. With restrictions as to mate
rial removed, it is believed that there
will be more buildings erected in New
London in 1919 than in any previous
year. This is the opinion of Inspector
Linicus, based on the known demand
and the indications that prevailed be-
fore the federal government restricted
building as a war measure.

the building in New London during

FEW NEW BUILDINGS
IN PUTNAM IN YEAR

War conditions practically held up
new construction work in Putnam dur
ing 1918. One of the City's best known
builders said that he had worked on
very few new buildings during the
wear, but that his working force had
been kept busy on repair and eXten-
sion work. The greatest development
in the city was about the plant OF the
Manhasset Company, which has con-
tinueu 10 expand and las required
more homes for its employees.
High cost of materials, record
vases for labor and government drafts
on Putnam's building forces to engage
in urgent government building work
at war centers in Connecticut were
factors that contributed to holding
down building in this city and vicinity

made on the Gladding estate, when

in Connecticut when ii is completed.
Notwithstanding adverse conditions
the Putnam Building and Loan as
sociation has had a successful year,
with a constant demand for loans. II

increasing housing needs
Early In the year activities in the
building line were conferred at In
dustrial place, where the Connecticut
Mills Company and allied building or
CARNATIONS were rapidly developing
well formulated plan for an entirely
new section Of Danielson.
The governments ban on other than
what was termed war construction
stopped this work in large measure,
though several dwellings that were IN
course of construction were allowed
completed. Among the buildings was
the Gables, a $4,000 apartment house,
built in Old English style and &C
comodating 10 families. This structure
is built like letter A, has a court
inside it's wings and is in every way
a model structure, combining such
special features as a community room,
library, music room and many special
conyenienceS for houSeholderS.
It was announced only few days
ago that the building program so sud-
denly Interrupted by government order
will be resumed in the spring at In
dustrial place and that plans are
ready for the erection of number of
dwellings there.

building are separate dining rooms
and serving kitchens for each floor.
All the meals will be prepared in the

BOROUGH OF GRoToN SEES,
BIG BOOM IN BUILDING

The borough of Groton has seen
building room unique in its history in
the past year consequent upon the de-
velopment of the shipbuiding yard of
the GrotOn Iron Works and the de-
mand for dwelling houses where en-
ployes of this plant could live
Thirty-fiy houses have been put up
by the Groton Iron Works and are now
occupied, most Of them by two fam
lilies and a few by four while twenty
one more houses have either been fin
ished or are in process of completion
by the United States emergency fleet
corporation. 1t has been building
project representing an outlay of over
$500, 600.
All the building has been done on a
tract of land called The Farm. There
are also 50 two-far7ily houses and eight
single houses planned which will not
be built at present.
Besides the dwelling houses built by
the fleet corporation there are also a
big cafetaria and four dormitories
which are nearly completed. Heat for
these is furnished from central plant.
One or more of the dormitories will
probably be changed over into apart
ments of three or four rooms for light
housekeeping, as the anticipated de-
mand for dormitories has not arisen.
1t was found that single men for whom
these dormitOries were designed
preferred to lodge in New London or
in the borough. The cafeteria has
not proven all that was expected as it
is said to he too far from the plant to
allow workmen getting there to lunch
and back in the limited space of a
half hour incoming. Plans are being
considered of moving the building to
ground nearer the shipyard
Plots have been set aside for school
house, stores, churches, theatres. a
park containing lake into which the
drainage from the swamp will be run
There is water on all the streets where
houses have been built with the ex-
ception of Shennecossett road.
The state forbids any new constr1c-
ton of the sewerage system having
an outlet to the river. Tanks will be
installed for that purpose and these
will have TO be taken care of gevera
| times a year.

WILLIMANTIc BUILDING
AT LOW EBB IN 1918

p War conditions and the high cost Of
@laboT and materials caused practical
cessation Of building in WillimantiC
-for the year 1918. Twelve building
permits were issued during the year,
five OF them being for dwelling houses.
The only one Of any size was the gar
age building Of the American Thread
Company, the majority of the others
being granted for extensions or all
terstions on existing buildings.
The Rossie Velvet Company erected
and equipped a building, Sc by 45, for

appointed building inspector, to whom
all contracts of over $1,000 must first
be submitted for approval. Under this

There is a steady Increase in the

There was an increase in the num-
Der of transactions, in the money or

withstanding the several calls for
Liberty Bonds, and contributions to
organizations for war purposes, the
postal savings department shows an
increase in deposits. In all the sew
eral divisions, one million and a
quarter of dollars was handled by the
office force, there being over $4,000
