HOUSING PROJECT
 MAY BE STARTED
Out-of-Town Parties Re- ported Interested in
 Erecting 200 Homes

Out-of-town building promoters were understood to be interested still in plans to build 200 houses on the end of Clough Road, near its intersection with Park Road, &C., cording to reliable information heard here today.
 The project, which is designed to provide housing for employees pre- sumably of the new Waterbury Clock Company assembly plant be- ing built just across the Waterbury town line along Park Road exten- sion, was first mentioned several weeks ago. Recently it was claimed that the housing plans might be abandoned because the city could not see its way clear to extending water mains the necessary distance to supply the homes. It would en- tail expenditure of between $30,000 and $40,O00, 1t was claimed to Ser- vice the section.
 It is understood that the promo ters still are confident of securing WIPE priorities and securing the necessary permission to proceed with building. Of recent weeks 8 number of other large building pro- jects were virtually assured with re- ceipt, here of permission to build and the necessary priorities on crit ical materials involved.
 The fear has been expressed by city officials that should the new plant being built in Middlebury be abandoned after the war it might mean abandonment of many of the nearby homes. The developers claim, though, that they plan to build a permanent type of house and that the site will be desirable one even after the war, provided, of course, such services, such as city water, are obtained.

NEW RECORDS IN
 CAR SHIPMENTS
Work of Local Committee Headed By Frank Green
 Given COilmendatiOn

Much more eficient use is now be. ing made of railroad freight cars . the result of the activities of such groups as the Waterbury Car Enl- ciency Committee F. J. Green, chair man of the committee and secretary of the Waterbury Chamber of Con1- merce, declared today.
 The local freight car eficiency committee, he said, is one of more than 360 similar groups which cover the entire country. The committees, organized under the leadership of the 13 regional Shippers Advisory Boards, are inducing as many ship perS and receivers as possible to fol~ low those practices which will irl- crease the usefulness and capacity of the rail plant in the war emer- gency. These practices include heav- fer loading of cars and more prompt loading and unloading of them.
 So effective has the work of these voluntary groups been, the local chairman continued, that shippers and receivers are setting new rec ords for efficient handling of freight cars. As an example of the effective ness of the committees, he told of a company that had consistently been using freight cars for storage in- stead of their essential business of transportation. A call by the car ef- ficiency committee in that city re- suited in the firms increasing the number of its loading crews, and now the company is unloading cars on the day they are received instead of holding them two or more days.
 "There are hundreds of similar instances in which shippers are CO., operating with the railroards," the local chairman concluded. But ship pers must and will do even better to keep cars moving to meet the na- tion's war transportation needs"
