MANHASSET PLANT IS SUBJECT OF MORE RUMOR
NO IMMEDIATE PROSPECT THAT VALUABLE MILL PROP ERTY IS TO BECOME ACTIVE.-NEW JERSEY
 CONCERN LOOKS IT OVER
No Word After Several Weeks Consider ation-Naona Rhe
 Expanding.-To Run Night and Day.

The periodical rumor that the fac t5rv buildings owned by the Putnam Land and Mills Company formerly occupied by the Maahasset Manu- fscturing Company. are Co be leased 5F sold and that some textile con- eern ls soon to begin operations has again come to the fore. For several wears past such rumors have been current. but as yet the buildings are vacant except for that part If the plsnt occupied by the National khea company, a concern that is expand irg by the removal of it's de-gumming plant from PeppereIl. Mass, to this city.
 For the past two years and more, rumors have been intermittently broadcasted that the Fisk Tire & Rub Der Company had leased the build ings. Each time that such a rumor has persisted investigation has dis closed that there was little foundation for it
 The most recent rumor is t0 the effect that a New Jersey manufaetur- ing concern is to lease or buy the property and begin operations. This rumor has also been investigated and found disappointing. While II IS true that representatives of New Jersey corporation have looked at fhe plant and jt may be said, are con sidering it as a manufacturing site. the prospect of any deal being con summated is very uncertain, and the rrospact af the plant being occupied and operated is still very remote. There is nothing in Che present -situa- t.0r that leads those in close touch with matters as they now stand t7 give any encouragement that this aree mil property is again ta be come active.
