 A reduction in fire insurance rates has been made as the result of add ed facilities for the Bristol fire de- partment and increased protection against fire damages for Bristol res- idents. The tariff rate on mercantile buildings has also been reduced ten per cent, a change which will affect nearly every building of this sort in the city.
 The reductions have been made following the opening of the new fire station on Pennington avenue, ac- cording to Fire Chief John Hayes. who said this morning that the addi- tional protection afforded was large ly responsible.
 The new station. which is one of the most advantageously located, has direct access to the largest residen- tal district in the city, namely the Federal Hill section, and. at the same time, is so situated that the men posted there may reach the business district quickly by way of Farming ton avenue and North street. Another facility recently acquired by the Bristol fire department is the new LaFrance fire bumper, which. it is estimated. will greatly increase | the efficiency of the firemen in ex- ] tinguishing fires in the hill section, where they have been greatly handicapped in the past by the low water pressure in that vicinity. | Two important changes have been made in tho insurance rates.
 On single roof buildings, housing one and two families, the rates have been reduced from soc to 45c for three years, and on non- n-combustible roofing the rate has been changed from 45c to 4Oc.
