ALBION, R.I. (AP) - Berkshire Fine Spinning Associates, Inc. to-day started a program to revive the old New England mill village in modern form when it broke ground for housing to accommodate 204 families near its mill here.

The company plans to build ranch-type houses for 178 individual families and duplex houses for 26 more. All will be rented. The housing is intended to attract added workers needed for plant production.

The project is expected to cost $250,000 and may have to be expanded, mill owners said.
