BIIdro P.ciltt5 Progressing Smoothly

With the labor difficulties between the
 building trades and the master builders having been settled, building activities
 are expected to show marked increase
 in Norwich and vicinity from now on.
 Several projects that have been held up
 owing to the lack of labor are now be-
 ing pushed along at top speed to make up
 for the time lost. Work on new build.
 ings are being started and will be rapidly
 completed. All contractors sreport that
 they have a large amount of work on
 hand. While there is no large contracts
 there is no shortage of small work such
 as garages, alterations and cottage
 houses
 During the past week five applications
 for permission to build have been filed at
 the office of Fire Marshal Howard L.
 Stanton and all are for garages. With
 the filing of these applications the norm al average for May has been reached
 and the prospects are that the number of permits issued this May will exceed the number issued for the same month in previous years.
 A garage is to be erected on the prop erty at ST Washington street owned by W. F. Hill and L. ]. Storrs. The garage will be of frame construction with metal sides and composition roof. There will be no floor other than earth Charles W. Natzel is to erect a garag ge at 460 Boswell avenue The building will
 be 20x20x9 feet. There will be stone foundation on which will be erected the frame structure. The floor will be of | cement and the sides and roof of the building will be of fire proof material. In the rear of the Laurel Hill school 1 Joshua A Stott is to erect a large ga- rage which will accomodate several cars. | The building is to be 20x2S feet with an 1 ell 14x35 feet. The foundation will be l of cement and the frame work will be of N. C. pine and the sides will be of match board and the roof will be covered with fire proof material. The floor will be of | cinders.
 Ambrose Sullivan has the contract for | the erection of a garage for Benjamin l Yoeelevsl1y on Thames street This ga- rage will have basement with one story above the street. The basement will 1 be of stone and cement and the remainder | of the building will be of brick The
 roof will be covered with asbestos 1 shingles.

on Mt Pleasant street. The building is to be of spruce frame with stone foun- dalton and cement floor with the roof covered with composition paper. The building is to be 9Ox4ox24 feet
 The work on the building owned by James L. Crawford on Main street is rapidly progressing. The front of the building has been torn cut and new front is being built The rear of the building and side walls are being rein forced The workmen are now gaged in blasting for the extension of the rear of the building.
 The house at the corner of West Thames and Brown street being built by Charles I: Rathbun has been boarded in and the roof has been put on. The building was recently sold to John Rush who will make it his home when 1t is completed.
 At the Majestic roof the work on the erection of the moving picture screen is being done by M. J. Zuckerman. The screen is being housed in so that the wind and rain will not effect the screen and will give the best possible results for an outdoor picture place The seats are being overhauled and repaired.
