Architects Drawings Approved d By Officials
 For 2 New Structures
Present FaciIites-Over I5O,OOO Involved in De- veOpmentaI Plans-A Additional Land Obtained

cern, 1t was disclosed today. Plans completed call for the construction of two four-story additions which will add Q total of 5o,S7e square feet to the present floor area of the plant.
 The cost of the two buildings, ex- elusive of plumbing, heating and electrical work, will be, 1t is esti- mated, $00,000. Tn addition, the Lux Clock Manufacturing company has been obliged to buy additional land in the rear of its present holdings in order to make room for the new structures.
 Estimated Cost
 Furthermore, before the work on the buildings is actually begun the company just built lengthy rec taining wall to bring the land to an even grade. The cost of the wall will be approximately $26,000.
 Therefore, figuring in the $o0,000 cost of the two structures, the $26,- 900 for the retaining wall and the expense for plumbing. heating and electrical service, the undertaking of the Lux company represents an outlay of about $l50,0o0.
 Contract Awarded
 The contract for the erection of the two four-story structures has already been let by the Lux coTn- pany to the Austin company of New York. This company will merely erect the two structures. Additional contracts will be let later for the plumbing, heating and electric wir- ing. One of the additions to the factory will measure l4l feet by A feet. The other one will measure l4o feet by 46 feet.
 A deed formally transferring two parcels of property to the Lux con- pany was filed shortly before noon today in the offlce of Town Clerk Dora A. Egan. The land is in the rear of the present factory and is bounded by property now facing on Johnson, Fairview and Manhan streets and also by the right.of-way of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company.
 The decision of the Lux company to erect two new additions is the result of gradually increasing busi- ness. The factory was one of the busiest in Waterbury throughout the entire depression period and at the present time is maintaining one of the steadiest employment schedules in the city or vicinity. The in- crease in the size of the plant will, 1t is believed, means increased eIn- ployment facilities here.

Admitted Drinking
 Admitting that he had taken a drink from a bottle he carried in his car, Scott declared that he was not under the influence" He said he had stopped his car in Middlebury to take a drink, but that he was not affected by the liquor. He said he was on his way to Hartford to meet @ friend and that he had quit work for the remainder of the day. Scott is an insurance adJustor.
 The accident occurred when he at- tempted to pass Kenny's car on the right hand side. Tn trying to get between Kennys machine and arl- other car parked on the side of the street, he locked lenders. Damage to his own car and to Kenny's was slight but Scott was arrested by Motor Patrolman Alfred OVerton when the bottle of liquor was found in the rear of his car.
 Under Influence

 MT. Kenny also said, after being brought back to the stand twice for further questioning, that Scott was apparently affected by the liquor He said, however, that he felt he was not qualified to judge to what de- gree the man was intoxicated.
 Witnesses "Fair"
 Before imposing the fine, Judge Mascolo said that Q summation of the evidence indicated that all the witnesses had been "very fair" in the presentation of testimony. He said that Scott, from the nature ot the business he is engaged in, should have realized the seriousness of the charge against him and have asked for medical examination.
