lowered to a great extent and that the saving would pay for the up- keep of the fire department here.
 In case a fireman, in line of duty. is injured. the town will have to pay his compensation from the time Of his injury to the time he is return- cd to duty. In New Britain, under the compensation laws. a man is not paid the first 12 days he is off duty. The town of Berlin, however, will have to pay all time he is off duty, under the terms of the contract.
 In case of an injury and a man is permanently out of the fire depart ment the town will have to pay him only to the time he is pensioned by the New Britain board. From that time his pay comes from the pension fund. This is a new angle on the case and as yet has not been changed in the terms of the con- tract, according to James J. Butler, chairman of the fire board in New Britain. Under the plans of the new contract the town will have to pay compensation to the time of the death of any member permanently injured This will be eliminated be- fore the meeting Tuesday evening.

 Telephones Changed
 Telephones in Berlin are being changed over to the four party line system today and this morning very few lines were open for calls. The work Of cutting over the wires is difficult
 The system is one that the resi- dents of Berlin have long looked for as there will be no need of having correct change at the telephone each time New Britain is called.
 Although there is higher price per month charged for the new type of phone. only two or three people in the entire town have not agreed to the new rates and phones.
 It is expected that the work will be completed this week and that all telephones will be clear for use soon As all numbers have been changed no number may be obtained without first getting the new one from the operator. This will be remedied by the issuing of new books the first of the month.
