POST TAKES STEPS
 TOWARD FIRE DEPT.
Committee Will Consider Situa.
 tion Existing in Berlin
SCHULTZ NAMED CHAIRMAN
sewing Circle to Hold Annual Ban ouet at Hearthstone Tavern - Claude W. Stevens to Explain Bi-Annual Election Bill at Meet inc of Mems Lyccum Tonight.

Bolton kasica post, American Le- zion, took it's first step towards the survey of the existing fire situation Saturday when it appointed Adolph Shultz chairman of committee 10 be picked by him which will gather attenuation which possibly Will terminate in the installation Of some permanent fire fighting service here.
 Until this time, the greatest argu- ment given in opposition to the pro- posed fire service is that it would be too expensive. The Legion points out that Newington, with much smaller grand list of assessment, supports a full time fire department with adequate apparatus. Plainville with a grand list of about s6,000,000, supports a volunteer fire department. The fire records of the two places, plainly point out the advisability of the service, the Legionnaires state.
 The main difficulty which will be encountered by the promoters of the fire department will probably be the fact that a day time force of vol unteer firemen would be almost inn possible here as a greater part of the population is out of town during the day, employed in New Britain and Hartford. Those who would be in touch with the volunteer system during the day are mostly farmers and widely scattered and some ar engagement which will cover both these situations must be drawn up before the question will receive any attention at the hands of the voters of the town. it is believed.
 The Iegion's activities in the fire protection direction come after tong period of delay at the hands of the town fathers who have expressed 'h"mseives as favoring the existing system of New Britain protection. To learn whether or not this method Of fire protection can he improved upon. is the object of the Legion's investigations and if definite im- provemcnt can be found by the com- uittec of the organization which hes been appointed, it is probable hat the plan will be submitted to the next town meeting for a ballot.
 The main arguments of the Le- g:on stress existing conditions in East Berlin and Blue Hills, two dis trcts which are far removed from New Britain. In the Blue Hills. dis trict. road conditions combine with the distance to present a formidable condition. Legionnaires state. In Eaqt Berlin. although served by good roads. some delay would neces- sarily follow the calling of the New Britain department. they further aver.
 The fire protection problem has found little favor with officials in the past, and 1t Is not known just how the latest endeavors of the local post will be received. Bolton- Kasica post has been an institution which car.ied out Its movements to the last ditch and indications point to- wards a lengthy argument on the question.
