ARTISAN WELLS
 FOR NEW PLANT
Fear of Larchm0nt Lake Water Shortage Allayed
 by Factory's Plan

Artesian wells will be sunk to pro- vide water supply for the new plant of the Waterbury Clock Go at Park road and Straits turnpike President Charles H. Granger saio today.
 His statement allays fears of year. round and summer residents in the vicinity of Larchmont lake, near the property purchased by the factory that the plant would draw on the lakes water. The section has be- come increasingly popular with Wa terburians in recent years and many homes and cottages have been built there.
 Construction of the 100000 as- sembly plant will begin soon and is due for completion by June l. The location, partly in Waterbury and partly in Middlebury, was seletced in large part because it is far enough away from the city's business section to allow working under the dust free conditions necessary for pre- cision work.
 The plant will employ from 500 to 1000 workers, some of whom will come from the present main plant on Cherry avenue.

CHESHIRE COUPLE
 WIN LEGAL SUIT
Judgment of $390 Plus Costs Given Against In=
 surance Company

Judgment for MT. and Mrs. John Gaug of Cheshire to recover dam ages of $390 and costs, in their civil action against the Baltimore Amer ican Insurance Co. of New York City, was entered in a memorandum of decision, filed by Judge John F. McDonough in common pleas court today.
 The Cheshire plaintiffs had brought suit charging that the New York concern had failed to make payment on a $500 fire insurance policy, after fire had destroyed a barn owned by them in Cheshire which was covered by the terms of the contract.
 According to the provisions of the policy, two barns, designated as Barn and Barn 2, were protected from fire loss in the amounts of $500 and $500, respectively. A dis pute arose over which barn had been razed by the fire, the plaintiffs contending that Barn 2 had been destroyed, and the defendant that the other was demolished by the 1 flames.
 An offer of $50 in settlement of the claim was rejected by the plain tiffs.
 Judge McDonough, in his memo randum, points out that the wording of the policy was obscure, but that evidence indicates that Barn 2 was destroyed.
