Fire Protection Urged.
It has been argued by several resi-
dents of the town that Berlin should
have a fire station and apparatus of
its own now that both districts of the

ply.
Those in favor of such a step say
that 1t would be cheaper in the long
run and the people Of the town would
feel safer with ample protection
against fire losses in town. AS it is
now, if a fire occurs 1t is necessary
to send to New Britain for the fire
apparatus. A building or house
could be totally destroyed before the
trucks reached their destination.
This has happened in the town. one
