COMPANY APPEALS
 ZONINC DECISION
Majority of Residents of MiddIebury Reported in
 Favor of Petition

Preparation of brief for presen- tation to the Middlebury zoning board of appeals is being undertaken for the US Time Corp, by it's at torney Edward B. Carmody. The company is appealing the recent de- cision of the towns zoning board which denied the request that the concern be permitted to expand it's Middlebury plant facilities by the addition of another story for hous- ing the facilities needed by the lab- oratory, office and personal rela- ticns departments.
 The original denial was not done arbitrarily it was stated but in con- forming with the present zoning standards which were established some few months after the company erected it's plant there.
 As reported in the Democrat s story last week individual property owners are said to be opposing the expansion particularly one group of these owners. Opposition is predicted on the belief that cheap" housing facilities may be erected around the plant.
 It was stated to the Democrat that the majority of the townspeople are said to favor the move in the be- lief that expansion of the plant may serve as a postwar medium of em- ployment as well as providing some $40 ,OOO in taxes annually.
