MAPLE HILLS NEED IS ANNEXATION

The decision of the board Of fire commissioners that fire protection will not be extended into Maple Hill will perhaps do more to impress upon the residents and property owners of that hamlet the adVlsa- bility of making itself part Of the territory of New Britain, than will all the oratory that has re-echoed through the legislative halls anent the proposed annexation.
 Maple Hill is faced with serious problem. The fact that use of New Britain's fire apparatus has been requested is ample evidence that our neighbors to the cast are aware they are not properly protected. Fire insurance companies are not slow to seize upon every excuse or reason for lacking up rates in unprotected communities or communities where protection is not such as safeguards it's risks. Maple Hill, as a part of Newington, also has it's school prob lens which, in common with all other towns will grow rather than relieve itself. The town now uees city water from New Britain under a contract which this city may can- eel at any time; it's market for commodities is mostly in New Brit ain, and it Is in many other ways tied up with this city.
 Annexation 10 New Britain would give Maple Hill fire protection, would insure uninterrupted city water. would take care of it's school problems with less difficulty than the town now faces. Commun>y y leaders would do well to hasten the day of annexation.
