E. BERLIN WANTS WATER
Residents Would Have Mains EN- 1cndel-Fire Protection Question Three Decades Old-SChool Prob lem still NeXatiouS-S0n Born.

At the annual meeting Of the Worthington Fire district held last night at the town hall, the tax rate for the coming year was set at 6 mills, the same as that for last year. Of this mills are for water and mills for lights in the district.
 It was voted to place additional lights in the town as follows: two lights on the East Berlin road east Of Charles Hawkins residence, two on Baxter avenue near the old far grounds. and one on Patterson street. the extension of school street west. This will be all the extension that is planned for the coming year, Water mains will not be extended this year according to present plans of the board.
 Directors reelected were as fol- lows: r. l.. Wilcox, r. C. Hickey. and M l.. Rhodes They make up the board of control of the WorthIngton fire district Lester Dcming was re- elected secretary, treasurer, and col lCCiOr or lIe group
 The treasurers report showed that there was an increase in the funds of the district and that the outstand ing taxes were very low. The indebt edness of the bonds has been lower ed from its original S7o,00o to s6G,- o0o by the annual payments of s. 900 on the bonds.
 It was stated that there was a possibility of lowering the tax rate one mill but that the wiser thing to do was to have d little money on hand in case of an emergency such as arose last year near the klIhy house in Kensington when the water main broke and it was necessary for the Worthineton district to pay for the repairs that were required.
 East Berlin Wants Water
 Many of the residents of the town feel that the water district should be extended to East Berlin as soon as possible. At present there is no city water in East Berlin and the resi- dents efel that without fire protec- ton they should not be charged for the cost of that protection as paid 10 the city or New Britain out of the taxes of the whole town.
 This matter is expected to be taken up at a meeting of the East Berlin Community group before any final action is taken on the town fire protection problem.

RETIRE BILL
PUSHED

Government employees are
urging action on the civil SER

Senate Civil Service Commit
tee at this session of Congress,
it was learned today.
At the office of Senator Porter
H. Dale of Vermont, chairman of
the committee, it was stated that
numerous requests for consideration
of the bill by the committee at an
early date had been received.
Numerous inquiries as to when the
committee would meet have poured
into Senator Dale's office.
1t was indicated. however. that
the chairman will defer any meet
ing until he has definitely learned
from Senate leaders whether the
bill will be permitted to come up
for consideration at the extra ses-
sion.
While the Senate possibly might
pass the measure, as it did at the
last session of Congress, action by
the House today was deemed
practically hopeless, because of the
House leaders expressed determine
ton to restrict their legislative pro-
gram to farm relief. tariff revision.
and reapportionment.
Government employees, who are
actively interested in getting the re-
tirement law passed, know the at
titude of the House, but are hoping
to push the bin as far as possible
toward enactment at the extra SEES
sion.
