Many New Dwelling Hou.e..

The past year seems to have been one for building new dwelling houses in the city and town Of Norwich, IS A permits Tor new dwellings were issued by Fire Marshal Stanton and there has also been considerable building of new dwell ings In the town which Is outside of the Jurisdiction of the fire marshal. Proba- ably from 40 to 50 ne~ dwellings have been erected outside the city limits, sec tons that have shown activity in this line being at Norwich Town, Thames Vile, the upper end of Greneville and Taftville. It is to be noted that the names of those building dwellings in- dicate they are of the thrifty class of sur foreign born residents who have ac- eunulated capital through the wartime wages of themselves or the members of their families and are putting their mon- sy into homes for themselves or fol renting purposes.
 Altogether more dwelling houses wifi have been added to Norwich by tho building activity of 1921 than for many q year.
 As authorized by town meeting which voted an appropriation of $200, 900, the erection of .he new schoolhous' on Elizabeth street to take the place O the old Mt. Pleasant street school, vii be the most important addition to tn public school buildings of the town il many years The work is under wa.

though there was some remodeling of
 homes and other such work. The high cost of materials that pre- vailed during the greater part of the past year, high wage scales and general depression in business activity, all pointing to lower building costs, were large factors in delaying various plans | for building.
 In relation to building activities in Putnam statement in December by Rev Charles F. Bedard, pastor of St. Mary's parish, that the parochial school | is to be materially enlarged during I 1922 may point to the fact that the building industry is about to experience another revival and that this will be a year of activity for those locally engaged
 in the building trades.

LITTLE BUILDING ACTIVITY
 WAS SHOWN IN PUTNAM

Erection of new buildings in Putnam during 1921 suffered slump from the feverishly active years of the war period. However in the business section, two new projects are underway-one brick auto mobile sales station and garage at the Robitaille property, corner of School and Front streets and a new business block that is to front on Mechanic street, near Buck street, for Wolf and Kaninsky Work cn the Robitaille structure is well advanced, while only a recent start has been made on the Wolf and Karninsky building, which. for the present, is to be but one story in height and will provide business places for several firms.
 There was no mill construction in this territory turing 1921, and this Is notable on accct1nt of the steady expansion and almost steady building by some manu- fs1eturins conSerns. notably the Mar hasset company, during the period of tthe plant and added to this by constructine war. The concern developed a fine what amounts to small village of mod ern homes.
 Few dwelling were erected in Putnam or the immediate surrounding territory during the year that has just closed, al-

During the preserc year, the new psy- chopathic ward has been opened at the hospital. most valuable addition to the equipment of the institution. It has been declared to be without an equal as to the completeness of its appointments and furnishings for it's purposes. It has a capacity for 100 patients and was erected at an approximate cost of Sa5o,- 900. Another new building opened during year was the tubercular ward for which there has long been a need. It win &C., commodate so patients and was built at an approximate cost of sso.ooo.

 Provision for an unfsiling water sup ply for the hospital has been made dur ing the year by a contract for water | from the Norwich reservoirs. Before this the state hospital had to depend on driven wells and its own reservoir. both of which have proved inadequate with the growth of the hospital.

ANOTHER NEW WARD FOH
 NORWICH STATE HOSPITAL
 Through an appropriation of s25O,0oo granted by the general assembly. the Norwich state hospital at Brewster's Neck is to have added to it this year an- other new ward for 100 patients. Work on this has already been begun. The Norwich state hospital has a capacity, which, under ideal conditions, would ac- commodate 1850 patients, but the neces- sity for caring for the mentally affiict- ed unfortunate of the state is so press ing that ideals have to be abandoned tc actualities, as they do in all institutions with the result that 1t is found possible to care for about 1,50o patients at al | times at the Norwich hospital.

MORE BUILDING IN NORWICH
 THAN FOR MANY A YEAR Not at any time for the past ter. years has such an amount of building work been carried on or contracted for in Norwich as in the year 1921.
 Fire Marshal Howard L. Stanton ;s- sued IFS building permits in the past year which was T more than he is sued the year before and is more than that he has issued for any time in the past ten years. Three big contracts on which work has been begun, the new F20O.O Mt Pleasant street school building, the new St. Mary's Roman Catholic church and the new Young Mems Christian Association building, sggregsting close to half a million dollars, helped materially to swell the grand total in the city building work to S7s3900 Last year there were only 107 city building permits for a total of $350,925.
 To be added to this building total for the city Is the construction of about 40 new dwellings in the town limits, which are not covered under the fire marshars permits, and new ward at the Norwich State Hospital for which the aporopria- ton is S2s0,oo0, and additions at the Norwteh state tuberculosis sanatoriun1 for which there are appropriations of Ss.5oo. This brings the grand total for Norwich building to S1,170,400.
