avoidable by highway construction
 heads residents are realizing the existence of d fire hazard which l they are asking to reduce by off, cials in charge of the construction l work.
 Fire protection coming from New | Britain over a route which is now being constructed into a permanent | highway, it is feared that emergen- i cy calls to the New Britain fire de- partmcnt would suffer delays through the numerous one way stretches and detours. Added to the , usual delay between the alarm for Britain trucks, Berlinites fear a seri- ous situation in the event of a blaze in this town.
 The opening Of the Beech Swamp road on both sides will do away with a large part of the fire hazard in kensington, residents says. The stretch from the New Britain city line to Upson's corner is now on a one way basis and while fire trucks would have the right of way over other traffic, it is still believed that the narrow stretch would prove a delay. Highway authorities predict ed the opening of the thoroughfare to through traffic before the end of the week but as the concrete near Upson's corners is only freshly laid it is doubtful that the whole stretch will be opened before the early part of next week.
 Beyond Upson's corner, conditions are worse. The underpass being blocked, fire trucks would take the detour route from Tpsons corner. back onto Pennington avenue at Jacobs corner, narrow, rutty road which would prohibit any speed by the engines. Calls to Worthing- ton ridge would suffer considerable delay by the dctour, residents aver, and they ask for an opening of traf- fife through the underpass in case of emergency.
 The excavation activities of the T.. G. I. Co. on the detour stretch have rendered conditions still worse. several one way stretches resulting from trench digging in that section. It is considered doubtful that New Britain engines could answer a call from Worthington ridge in less than 15 minutes to a half hour. East Der lin is considered in an even worse fix than the other two districts.
