 Joseph Neri, part owner of tho
 Neri block in the center. denied this
 morning that the building had been
 sold. A story has been going the
 rounds that a deal was consummated
 whereby Dugald McMilan of New Britain had purchased the block, but !, MT. Neri stated this morning that 1 Mir. McMillan had been in PIainyille
 the other day and had looked the l building over but had not done any i thing about buying it.
 I When asked if il was for sale. Mir. Neri stated that it was providing he would be able to get his price for it. He would not say what value He placed on the property.
 It had been rumorcd in town that
 the Neri property has been for sale
 for some time, but this is the first
 time that the intentions of the pro- prietors has been definitely an nounced. It is stated on good author ity today that an option which eX- pires in so days has been taken on the property by a New Britain party. but Mr. Neri would. neither affirm or deny this phase of the subject.
 The block is the largest single structure in Plsinville and adorns the cast side Of Central Square. It con tains six stores, is four stories high and is occupied by numerous offices and tenements. IT is probably the most valuable piece Of property in the town with respect Co location and probably price. Its transfer will probably be the biggest in the town.
