,_ Contracts for a large factory build-
ing to be built by the American ln—
nulator company on property at 209-
215 Main str‘, will be let out within
hree weeks. This announcement was
rmade this morning by H.” G. Bond, sup-
eMtwdentyf the local branch of the
concern. .
An architect today is drawing up
blue pl‘lnts for the factory. which will
pe constructed of cement blocks. Then
buildig. according to present specifi-
cations will be for several hundred
feet in front and will extend back as
far as the railroad tracks. It will be of
one~story type. .
A rumor that the contract had
already been awarded to the Austin
Construction company, which has
done considerable work in Norwalk
was denied by Supeflhtendent Bond.
,The rumor was generally circulated
throughout the First and Second Dis-
tricts.
“We cannot let out the contract un-
’til the blue prints are finished." said
Superintendent Bond. “The contract
'will not be awarded for nearly three
weeks." .
Vl'hlle -the cost of the factory
planned by the concern cannot be ac-
curately estimated at this time. it is
beliey'ed that it will be. ve. $50,000.
'At the present time: American
insulator Company occupies a two-
story plant at 46 Main street. These
quarters are temporary in character.
however.
About forty—persons are employed at
the temporary plant. but this number
is expected to be largely increased as
soon as the new plant is completed
and ready for occupancy which will
probably not be until early spring.
The local plant is but a branch of
the Amcrcian insulator company
which has a large factory in New
