of Berlin is 10 pay for calls whether there is fire or not.
 It will be remembered some time ago there was false alarm from Berlin which was answered by a New Britain fire company and which, at the time aroused some comment regarding the liability of the town government in cases of that sort. However, the situation was settled amicably, and at a meeting of the New Britain fire board held shortly after the settlement of the bill the board sent vote of thanks to the town of Berlin for the promptness with which the bill was paid.
 At one of the special town moG = ings held not long ago the New Britain fire department was author ized to answer any calls coming from Berlin, regardless of who calls in. Up to that time the fire depart ment could not come to the town unless it was authorized to do so by either the sclectmcn or some other responsible party. From time to time it has been asked just how the town officials would act if there were q prevalence of false alarms. This or course is state of affairs which hinges on mere possibility, but neN- crthclcss these questions have come I'D. In q case of this sort, the select men are authorized to revoke the freedom granted, and calls will m- vert to the former system of calling only with permission from some authority,
