 Fire Board to Confer
 The New Britain fire board voted last night that a committee be nam ed 10 confer with the officials of the town of Berlin in regard. to the fire protection here. At this meeting it will be decided whether or not New Britain will continue to give fire pro- lection to the town on the contract now iii force or whether there will be an increase in the, rate per hour. At the present time the rate is $50 an hour and it is thought that the New Britain authorities will increase this, as they claim that the cost per hour is too great to allow the pres- ent rate to be continued. Many of the people in Berlin feel that an in- crease would be justified and that the protection of the New Britain department is satisfactory and should be continued.
 James J. Butler, chairman of the New Britain fire board, will appoint a committee to meet with the select ment of this town in the near future 10 decide on this matter and it's re- port will be voted upon at the May Rrta in fro board.
