 WHOLE STREETS OF DWELLINGS
 ERECTED AT DANlELsoN. Industrially, as in many other ways. 1919 was the greatest, year in Killing iy's more than 200 years of history. Here in Danielson the business done by the textile plants, upon which the prosperity of the whole town really depends, was little less than phenom- enal The strides made by the great tire fabric concerns has carried them so far forward as leaders in the Uni ted States in this kind of textile en- deavor that it is not likely that their commanding position will be chal- lsnged for years to come.
 Their prosperity has been so great as to demand of the big concerns still further development of their plants and the Goodyear Mills, Inc, with its plant at Goodyear, in the town of Killingly, is at this time ready to start the erection of a new yarn mill and to build nearly 200 houses during 1920. The expenditures planned for de- velopment at Goodyear this year are not less than s1,5o0.000, and it is taken for granted that this is but another step toward the making of Goodyear the Akron of the east.
 At Industrial place in Danielson, where the Connecticut Mills, year af- ter year, show 8 steady growth much building has been done during 1919. in order that adequate housing facilities be provided for the ever increasing number of employees of the plant.
 Whole new streets of dwellings are being developed and Morin avenue is now one of the prettiest thorough fares in Danielson. Since early in the summer big force of carpenters has been at work building dwellings at Industrial place, and the project is continuing through the winter.
 While no formal announcement has been made by the Connecticut Mills company it is known that this won derfully successful concern. having the largest payroll of any textile plant iu the town of Killingly. has decided to build a yarn mill at Industrial place and that this project very prob ably will be carried out this year.
 The erection and equipping of this mill will mean an expenditure of at least a million dollars and the erec- ton of another big group of dwellings for the accommodation of additional employees.
 The Connecticut Mills is developing an ideal section of Danielson and probably the finest homes for mill operatives in any town in New Eng land Architects and landscape art ists have drawn plans covering the whole future development of the big tract iu the cornpany's control. Every dwelling is different from every other dwelling on the property. Every dwell ,-ling is as attractive as one could wish and every one is modernly equipped Progress is the Watehword of the Connecticut Mills company. and it's welfare work in the interest of the employees and their families has been remarkable in it's scope. effectiveness and advancement.
 The River Weaving company, witt its plant at the head of Water street will double its production capacity 1T 1920 as the result of having an ad- dition now under construction. The addition will be completed in about one month and will furnish space foi GS additional looms, which will be given over to the manufacture of cot ton worsteds.
 An interesting happening in the textile industry in killingly during 1919 was the transfer Of the plant oi the Whitestone Worsted company al Elmville to the American Woolen rompany. The great corporation nov Operating the plant. as one of many that 1t owns in New England, has al. M work and more is anticipated in the not distant future.
 At Dayville the Assawaga Wooler eompany showed growth during 1913 which was a year of great prosperity for this concern. The company ha. opened new street and erected ad ditiona1 homes for employees and dur ing December three more two-apart ment dwellings have been raised anC are now being completed Within <: few weeks the Assawaga company ac auired a tract Of about 40 acres an( the fine residence of George Webste at Dayville. and is holding this fo development by the concern as tn, future warrants.
