SCHULTzEXPLAINS VOLUNTEER SYSTEM Le6iOnnaire Dissatisfied With
 Fire Protection Decision
 WANTS SEPARATE DEPT.
says Insurance Rates Would Be R"- duced - East Berlin Wins First Game From Kcnsing gton-Quicker Fire Service promised-Bricfs.

In letter to the Herald today, Adolph Schultz, chairman Of the fire protection committee of Bolton kasica post. American Legion. of kensington, sets forth figures show ing the benefits of a volunteer SES- tenn of fire protection, which were not, in his mind. made clear at the town meeting last Tuesday.
 The letter is as follows:
 Tn order to clear up some of the misunderstanding 1 would like to say that the American Legion is al ways willing to do all they can 10 improve conditions in their co'n- munity. The fire protection proo- lem comes under this community welfare work. The Legion has in vestigated as far as possible and has found that conditions as they existed did not give all property owners me best protection a>ailab ble. Going into it deeper we found that the New Ensland Insurance exchange did not recognize this protection at all. How ever, they would recognize Vol'ln- leer fire department and give all nropertv owners within two miles of the station and within 500 feet of a hydrant reduction from s1.o2 to Csc on a hundred dollars and all property outside of the water district and within 1 mile of a fire station a reduction of from S.37 10 sl.o2 on Il hundred dollars for the three years insurance. This would cover East Berlin if truck were stationed there. By carefully placing the Worthington fire district and the kcnsington fire district we touni that truck could be placed in a central point to cover practically all of both distrts. The extreme llftleS from one hydrant limit to the other is about Az miles. The central point would be Tn the vicinity of the B"r- lin Auto Sales company.
 "'Td king this all into consideration we found that the full cost Of n TWO or thrt Q company fire depart ment, spread over period of ye"rs. plus the cost of maintaining the @dHlp, NOulu HOl 'e tll tAptlloe |" the town, as the insurance rednc. ion would be much greater thar he cost All facts stated here were ,nlled to the attention of the recent own committee and after investiga
 ion received their full approval
 "The method Of calling the N"w Britain fire department has caused more than one serious delay in th''r ,rrival However the New Britain authorities would not tolerate any ,hance until last week. Our object ms been to secure better fire pro- cct1on for the town and we believe he new system of calling the de ,"rtment is step in the right di- .cctinn.

CHERRYDALE TRACK
ISSUE IS UNSOLvED
Conference Is Held on Wash
ington & Old Dominion
Problem.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP,
staff Correspondent of The Star

CHERRYDALE, Va, March 27-The
old problem of what to do with the
tracks of the Washington & Old Do
minion Railway through Cherrydale re-
manned unsolved today, despite the eff
forts of engineers of the State Highway
Commission to work out a plan.
The tracks have always presented a
barrier to the widening of the Lee High
way through Cherrydale, beginning at
the point where the work of the high
way was stopped last year, but not UNI
til this time has it become vital. since
the State intends to continue the
widening this year to a point beyond
Halls HILL
Stores Present Problem.
With the stores on one side separated
from the road by only a very narrow
sidewalk. and on the other side by the
double tracks of the trolley line, it
becomes necessary to move one or the
other, and the engineers feel that 1t
would be impossible to move the stores.
The problem was discussed at length
yesterday afternoon by F. D. Henley,
right-of-way engineer. and Herbert
Darden. right-of- agent, both of the
State Highway Commission; c. l.. Kin
nier. county directing engineer. and E.
G. Turnburke, supervisor Of Washington
district. The only logical plan offered
for consideration was that the railway
be required to operate upon single
track through Cherrydale.
Bids for the highway project have not
yet been advertised. but 1t Is expected
that they will be within the next few
weeks, since it is planned to carry out
the widening through this Summer.

pike and construction of Glebe road,
