UNDERWATER SURVEY
OPENS IN This CITY
Result Will Determine
Classification of Fire
Insurance Rates

George l.. Swan. a representative of
the National Board of Underwriters
of New York city, was in conference
today with Chief william ]. Noble of
New Britain fire department in refer
ence to the work of the underwriters
to be done in this city within the next
two weeks.
Two additional members of the or
ganization are expected in town and
with Mr.. Swan will examine and
study all fire fighting facilities in New
Britain. An effort is being made TO
have universay hose couplings in all
cities and towns in this state. The
fire apparatus, water facilities and
conditions will all be included in the
survey.
The two platoon system and water
facilities in other places have helped
to put many cities in Class A and it
is hoped, following this survey by the
underwriters, that New Britain will
be In Class A. If the city is placed
in this class the insurance rates will
decrease as New Britain is now in

cent was turned out by the three
Connecticut establishments making

In addition. nearly one-third or 32.2f
per cent of the s12,ss3,s42 worth Of
firearms made in the United States

necticut which concentrated their ac-
tivities on these implements.
