There is a very strong possibility
of still another good sized manufac-
tury locating in South Norwaik with

Forge Company, of SouthingtonI
Conn, prosperous manufacturers of
1001s, has announced that they are
to remove from that city soon. It is
understood there is considerable critl.
cism being heard in Southington con‘
cerning the manner in which the
Thompson Company has been used at
the hands of the sewer commission-
ers of that'Vity, and it is said it is
because of this the firm will move.
A Sentinel man. this morning, was
in communication; over the telephone,
with the manager of the Thompson
Company. Asked if there was any
liklihood of the concern moving to
South Norwalk, the manager stated
that they were seriously considering
moving to this city. He said, how-
ever, nothing definite has yet been
decided upon, but that their plans for

The fact that the jury which has
been sitting continually since January
1 in the Superbr Conrt is soon to go
out has led to considerable emulation
in legal and paiticai circles as to the
likelihood“ of the King-Light-Beard
libel suit over coming to trial. The
fact that thisscose has not‘oven ap«
poured on the trial list where it could
be assigned for a date is significant
and has been commented on among
the legal fraternity, the opinion being
almost general that Mr. King has no
intention of bringing the suit to trial.
