Fire Committee to Meet.
The Berlin fire committee which is
composed of residents from KensinG-
ton and Berlin street, has received a
communication from A. E. Magnet,
the chairman of the New Britain fire
commissioners, stating that he will
meet them next Tuesday evening, in
order to settle the question of fire
protection for Berlin. The commit
tee is DESTROYS of making arrange
ments with New Britain whereby the
fire department of that city will re-
spond to calls from Berlin. 1t is the
prevailing opinion among the people
of the town that the time has not yet
come for a separate fire department,
and that the only way Of solving the
problem is to arrange for temporary
protection from New Britain. This,
would, Of course, involve some ex-
pense, but that would only be NOM
inal. Protection of property is well
worth the expense of bringing the
New Britain department here when
ever necessary. The two fires which
occurred recently were strong advo-
Gates for adequate fire protection.
After much delay, upon these occa-
sions, the city of New Britain was
called upon for aid. The committee
will meet with the commission and
Will later make a report at a town
meeting which is to be held some
time in the near future.
