 Townspeople are noting with con- siderable satisfaction the many im- provements about town. A new con- crete sidewalk is being put down on Linden street by the Plainville Realty Go.
 It was through efforts of John and Henry Trumbull, and Frank T. Wheel CT that the Plainville Realty com pany was organized. The work of this company has been of immense aid to the town regarding the building proposition and they have assisted greatly in relieving the housing sit- uation which threatened, for some time, to be serious. This problem at present promises to be settled soon with the new buildings that are being erected every day.
 Linden street crosses Broad street and extends a trife further. The new sidewalk is being laid on the west side of the street and a gang of men are working on it now. It will be completed within a short time. At the intersection of Broad and Linden streets, 30 new houses are being com pleted. Some are already inhabited. These houses are being built by the Plainville Realty company. 1t is ru- mored, that several large buildings throughout the town will be converted into dwelling houses and additions made onto them that will serve as living quarters.
