May Close Shop
 Patsy Sisti, proprietor of the bar Der shop in East Berlin, stated this morning that there was a possibility of the closing of the barber shop re- gently opened in East Berlin, as there was not enough business to warrant the running of the shop. He stated that if there was no increase the shop would be closed the first of June. The shop is the only one in East Berlin but, though it has been used by few persons, the ma jority of East Berlin people patronize the Middletown shops.

 Bill for S.OO
 The town of Berlin has received a bill from the city of New Britain for s20y for services rendered at the fire a short while ago on the old fair grounds. The fire was a cost ly one for the town. as the taxes on the property will not be collectable because the house was a total loss, and on top Of that there will be the bill that must be paid to the New Britain fire department.
 Resulting from a meeting of the New Britain board last Tuesday there will be d meeting between the officials of the two places to decide on q new rate for fire protection from that city. Many of the resi- dents feel that there is no object in paying the added amount, which may be double the present rate, when the forming of q department in Berlin would not cost such great deal and at the same time there would be q great reduction in the insurance rate within the present fire districts of the town. The American Legion has been active in forming a volunteer fire department and at present there is one, but it has not been active due 10 the fact that ther is no equipment on hand.
 Several places have been suggest ed as possible houses for the de- partment, but it is not expected that any action will be taken until the New Britain board actually re- fuses to answer alarms from Der lin, if it does
