 FIRE PROTECTION
New Britain Board to Get Report
 On Berlin Contract
ACCEPTANCE IS PREDICTED
Special Town Meeting to be Ca1letl koon-Tra6ic Lanes Painted st Bad Corncr-TOwn Court Tonight Tickets Go Rapidly.

The New Britain fire board Will meet tonight in New Britain to take final action on the matter of the fire protection of Berlin.
 Harry Beckwith and James Ii. passerini will turn in their report to the fire board. and it is assured that the report will be accepted. The date of cancellation will be settled upon and the town of Berilp Will DC formally notified of the date ac- Ct pted.
 The new contract will be offered to Berlin and will be voted upon dt . town meeting in the near futWe' according to First Selectman Leon G. Hail. Under the new contract the rate will be raised from the present $50 to $l00 an hour. It Will also be necessary that the town as- sure additional insurance on the hre truck that is used to answer alarms here. An additional clause of the contract will be that compensation will have to be financed by the local authorities to take care of any in- juries that may be suffered by nre- men while or duty here.
 Local residents feel that the new contract will be the most satisfac- tory way of settling the fire question, IS the cost will be much less than if a new department were to be created fin Berlin. This matter will be voted upon, however. at town meeting that will be held as soon as there is a formal cancellation Of the contract TOW in effect between New Britain and Berlin.

The matter of the extension of
the course of the normal schools to
four years, and throwing the ap-
pointment of teachers in local
schools open to competition between
local and out of town applicants,
as provided in the conferee's report
on the District appropriation bill is
the principal item which has
aroused the ire of the educators.
Scored BY GiIIigan
Henry Gilligan, chairman of the
committee on legislation. reported
that the action of the conferees "ts
entirely contrary to the expressed
wishes Of the board" He ,sug-
gested that some protest be made.
Superintendent of Schools. Frank
W. Ballou declared sit is too late
now, by the time we protest it will
be the law The Rev. F. /, A.
Bennett remarked that Congress
seems to have overlooked many of
the recommendations of the board,
while Isaac Cans declared that the
situation shows that the District
needs some kind of representation
to protect its interests.
Acting on the request of the Co
lumbia Heights Citizens Associa'
tion the board voted to throw open
to the public the stadium Of the
Central High School for use as a
playground whenever 1t is not being
used for purposes connected with
the school. Such use, however. the
board decided, must be carefully
supervised and this task was turned
over to the Community Center De-
partment.
The action was taken as setting
"a precedent which will eventually
esult in the more general use Of
ublic school property by residents
of the neighborhood IN which 1t is
located.
Restrict Graduate Lists
The board took up the vexatious
question of who should be furnished
lists of prospective graduates of
the local schools. Superintendent
BaIlou recommended that hereafter
these lists be made available only
institutions of higher learning.
This would curtail the number OF
those now receiving the lists, which
includes business schools and other
organizations. The matter was re.
ferred to the committee on rules

PAY BOARD

The personnel classification board
and the comptroller general have q
last gotten together on the alloca
ton of at least one government
position.
Comptroller General McCarl, known
for many months to be at odds with
the board today handed down a
ruling sustaining the action Of that
body in allocating a position in the
Veterans Bureau.
McCarI held that where there is a
dispute between the emplOye on the
one hand and the board and the ad-
ministrative office on the other, the
employe loses.
Floyd w. WOolley, administrative
assistant at the bureau. had filed a
claim for 1925 due him, he said,
"as the result of the unlawful re-
ALLEGATION downward of the position
of administrative assistant by the
personnel classification board.
When the position which Woolley
fills was created, it was classified

the position in 1925, and then the
classification board, ION its own
motion and without request of the

ploye" placed the job in classified

protested against the recIassification
downward, but later acquiesced in
the decision because the duties of
the position had been changed since

NAL TB|E'S
|. PROGRAM.
NEARER

The Maltbie traction merger
resolution has q better chance
of coming before the Senate
as a result Of an announce
ment by the Senate Steering
Committee yesterday giving
the reapportionment bill q
definite place on the senate's
program.
The reapportionment bill is
blocking action by the Senate on
the merger. No attempt will be
made to bring the merger up until
after the reapportionment bill Is
disposed Of.
Nevertheless in spite Of this
favorable turn Of events the merger
resolution has slight prospect of
being approved by the Senate at
this session.
Last Few Days
The fact that II it comes up In
the Senate at all it will be during
the, last day or two of the session
precludes almost any possibility of
it's passage. Opponents OF the
legislation could too easily talk it
to death at that stage of the pro-
ceedings.
It now seems almost certain that
| the merger legislation will be left
over for the special session begin
ming in April. There should he an
excellent chance Of enacting 1t al
that time because the District Com
nittee of Both Houses would be able
to report it out and get 1t on the
calendars soon after the beginning
of the session.
| With a quick start of that kind
| it would have an unusually favor
| able position on the calendars OF the
two houses.
Wilson Hopeless
The suggestion heard quite gen
orally q few weeks ago that the
| activities of the special session
would be limited to farm relief ano
revision of the tariff seems to have
gone by the boards.
It is now believed in most quarters
that the merger and other local leg
isIation will get as much considera'
ton in the special session az 1t
does in any session.
Harley P. Wilson, merger nego'
tiator, is said to have about given
up hope Of merger legislation Al
this session. Nevertheless he Is
seen quite frequently on the Senate
side of the Capitol and is believed
to be doing all he possibly can tc
get it through.
