'SCreeC project puSned along. The property recommended for purchase and on which the city now has options is as follows: D5 and o7 Baldwin street, owner John T. Phelan: Olympia DiVito, 94 Baldwin street and River street, owner Olympic DiVlto; 64 Baldwin street and lS4.16e-l64 Mill street, owner Thomas J. Shannahan.
 Fair Prices Paid
 Under the city engineers plans the municipality would pay el3,60O for the DiVito property, S20,0Oo for the Phelan property and S24,000 for the Shannahan property. These figures are fair, City Engineer Cairns informed the board in Q special communication, the prices being based on the assessed valuas ton of the property plus percerlt- age representing the difference be- tween the assessed valuation and the fair market price and also plus an additional allowance for the arkbi- trary nature of the proceedings.
 The bridge project is one of the largest of It's kind undertaken by the city in the Baldwin street Sec- ton in years. It calls for the re- moval of the Phelan building at the corner of Baldwin and Bridge streets, the DiVito building at the corner of Baldwin and River streets and the shannahan building at the corner of Baldwin and Mill streets.
 The city will raise the grade of Baldwin street six feet to do away with the sharp dip now existing from Union square to the present old bridge. The bridge, River and Mill street corners will be turned into sweeping curves 50 as to make Q very attractive approach to the new bridge.
 scovlII Company Plans
 Furthermore, the Scovill Manu- featuring Company is completing plans which call for remodeling of It's factory building at the southeast corner of Mill and Baldwin streets. When the manufacturing concern completes It's part of the project the approach to the Baldwin street section will be one of the most beautiful in Waterbury.
 The demolition of the Phelan building at Bridge and Baldwin streets will provide sweeping curve into Bridge street andSwill eliminate the present narrow and hazardous traffic point. City Engineer Cairns in his communication to the board pointed to the growing tendency of eat bound traffic to follow the Baldwin street. Bridge street, Hamil- ton avenue Silver street route.
 AS was expected the board once more turned down the petition of Mrs. Leda Bouley for Q change in the Zoning regulations governing her property ct the corner of Wolcott street and Manor avenue. The property Is now ii tne residential zone. She wants 1t placed in the business zone.

INSTALLMENT
 SELLING INCREASES

The rapid increase in instalment selling is reflected in the fact that during 1885 total department stores gained 70 while instalments sales rose 35%. This survey by the Na- tional Retail Dry Goods association indicates that retail instalment sales volume for 1036 will reach five bil- lion dollars. In 1929, when retail sales were approximately 50 billion dollars, 13% were made through in- stalment selling. Apparently the percentage will be higher this year. --(Sales Management.)

G. r. Kicker, general manager, anc
D. r. Glossbrenner, of Indianapolis
as secretary-treasurer.
The development, Mr.. Bryson con
tinued, is a result of intensive study
of the kaolin resources of the area
since 1928 by Mr.. Kicker. This is the
first of a series of developments con-
templated in that area by the com
pany, the geologist is informed.
The main building, according to in
formation from Spruce Pine, will &c
240 by 125 feet and from one to three
stories high. 1t is designed to produce
minimum of 80 tons of clay a day
and from 20 to Is tons of mica. Mr..
Bryson made the first report on the
properties and has consulted through
out on the development of the entire
project.
Reports have also been received on
plans of the Harris Clay Company to
have in operation this fall a new
kaolin refining plant at Lunday, also
in the Spruce Pine section.
This development, it is pointed out,
followed extensive research to deter
mine the best methods of mining and
refining the kaolins of the district.
These studies were first undertaken
by the ceramics laboratory of the
Tennessee Valley Authority at Norris,
Tenn, and indicate that production
on a commercial scale of the high
grade product should be successful
Tests indicate, according to Geolo-
gist Bryson, that the Spruce Pine
clays are suitable for the manufac-
ture whiteward, and he believes there
is a probability of the location of pot
teries for the production of high
grade products in that area.
Mr.. Bryson declared in his bienial
report that there are millions of tons
of recoverable clays in the section.
Research" he asserted, has shown
that the North Carolina clays, in
some respects, are the most outstand-
ing clays ever discovered"
Samples of porcelain made from the
kaolin produced by the new refining
methods and fired electrically are
said to be equal to the highest grade
European product. These tests, it was
pointed out, support predictions made
several years ago by Geologist Bry-
son in Department of Conservation
and development reports that the
wnlteware industry was a possibility

tnat the major materials used in it's
manufacture was to. be had in close

FIRST WORLD WAR DAY-BY-DAY

20 Years Ago Today-A new series
of air raids upon England began.
Eleven airships left German hangers
and nine crossed British coasts, sepa-
rately on different courses, to make
anti-aircraft defense more difficult
The L~36 began peppering east Lon
don with 20 bombs at lis p. m.
Searchlights quickly made her an easy
target for land guns, and one daring
r. F. c. pilot, Brandon, stuck to her
like a leech for 20 minutes, boring
her through and through with ma
chine-gun bullets. Her quick witted
commander got her away by dump
ing overheard everything that could
be spared, and showed her eastward.
But, faced then with the probability
that she would tumble into the sea,
he brought her down to earth near
Colchester Thus a specimen of the
latest type Zeppelin fell into the
British army's hands. for study, and
important structural secrets we're
revealed.
Meanwhile, the L-31 and L-32 had
come up upon London from the
South and bombed the outskirts.
Upon orders from the Kaiser, Com
mander Mathy did not drop any pro-
jectiles where they might hit Buck
ingham Palace as he crossed the
heart of London, and Mathy's fear
that a shot might go astray saved
most of the city. His own ship, the
LIB, was caught by anti-aircraft guns
and fell, aflame, in Sussex. British
casualties were Al, but German loss
was greater.
