Brotherhood Gathering Tonight Town Meeting Next Week-Church Acuvities-Sleigh Rides Planned Forestville NewS-Items.

The PlainVillc Realty company has in the East Broad street and Linden street districts. The work was finished last month and had covered period of several months. James E. Bent, of Hartford, contractor, had charge of the work and made a remarka ble record for this section by completing more than half of them last June. The building are of one and two ten- ements, the majority of them being one story. This district will eventual ly be the finest of Plainville and stand out as a selected section of the town There still remains some dozen or more houses to be occupied. The PlainVille Realty company is con- trolled by John II. Trumbull, Henry Trumbull and F. T. Wheeler.
 The majority of the tenants are workers of the Trumbull Electric company but there are however, others who live there. The project of building this group of houses was started when the housing situation became so serious shortly after the V r. The town was crowded with
 
 shortage of accommodation. The first number of houses which sprung up were quickly occupied and aided con- siderably in relieving the situation. There is no fear of a shortage in the town at present, as with the closing of the two large factories, the Standard Steel and Bearings plant and the Bristol Mills, many moved from the town. The Standard St gel workers were outsiders and with the closing of the plants, naturally moved.
 The houses built contains all inn provements and are not built on the style which the usual factory tene- ment is. The entire ground of the Realty company covers 1855 acres and extends almost to the side of the mountains, beyond the swampy dis trict. A new street Uinden street) was recently made which extended into the new district, and comes out upon the trolley tracks near the Trumbull factory. A concrete walk has been laid and the houses will soon be built along this section.
 One feature the Realty company has accomplished, is the draining of the swanrDy land beyond the hous- ing district. There is a brook run ming through this section and the land about 1t, for a great distant e, was reduced to a muddy, wampv, almost impossible ground, that was regarded as being worthless. Opera tions were started about three years ago to lower the level of the brook. It proved to be successful. Today the land is completely drained of it's water and will in the near fu- ture, be suitable building place. The saving of this land meant a great deal to the future of Plain vile. The brook level has been lowered almost 36 inches
 This property will mean lot also to the East Broad street resi- dents as eventually it will be con- verted into valuable planting ground, The work of lowering the brook and making improvements on the land
