Mattatuck Country
 Club Will Enlarge
 Present Golf Course
Additional Property Has Been Purchased and an Additional Nine Hole Course Will Be Added Within the Next Two Years
iRx JOHN A. CLUNEYl


 Through the sale of adjacent property from Meriden road norther- ly to the Mattatuck Country club, directors of the organization expect to be able to begin the construction of an additional nine hole golf course which will be ready and playable within the next two years. A special meeting to consider the project Will be called within a few days py President Charles Mcdonald at which time the latest developments in the plan will be discussed. The Democrat learned today.
 For the past year or more. rum ors relative to the possible extention of the present course to an lS hoie layout have been prevalent, and in- ouiry among those close to the club s business, elicited the fact that workable financial plan was the only hold-up to the procedure or negotiations. At the next meeting according to Fred J. Carr, a direc- tor of the club and chairman of the greens committee, it is expected that A proposal will be made to negoti- ate for the sale of property alreauy owned by the Mattatuck club from Meriden road northerly to the club house, which has never been useu for any purpose.
 This parcel of land would com- prise about 300 building lots in the estimation of one club director. who was of the opinion 1t would bring at least $60,O00 If sold. which amount would be sufficient to insure an IS hole golf layout, that would be among the best in Connecticut. Slowly but surely the club packers with an IS hole course in mind. have been acquiring needed property to connect the present links with a possible continuation, and that much has been accomplished.
