RECEIVE CONTRACT
 FROM NEW BRITAIN SeIeCtlnen Are Given Fire Pro- lection Agreement and Approve NEW ARRANGEMENT SOUGHT Tsloist-ioi.i1lSloleTST4 Cutler Would Permit Any Resident
to Call New Britain Apparatus Legion Outing Planned-Church NotiCcs-Berlin Briefs.

Members of the Berlin fire con- mittee and the seleCtmen met last night with the members of the New Britain fire board at a special meeting in New Britain. Those at tending from Berlin were First Se- lectman Leon Hall, Third Selectman Frank Pierpont, Claude Stevens and R. o. Clark.
 The contract offered to the town of Berlin was formally presented 10 the town officials and it was stated that they approved of it in all details.
 Chairman James J. Butler of the New Britain board asked that the voters Of the town be asked to vote on the matter of calling the New Britain department in case of fire here. At present. under the terms of the contract, only selectmen and a few others are authorized to send in an alarm. Chairman Butler ask cd that everyone in the town be given the right in case of fire, fore sailing any additional loss that might occur in case the selectmen could not be reached. This would make the town responsible in case of false alarms, but it would also tend to lessen the fire loss. At pres ent anyone may call in and, by using the name of the selectmen, get the department to the fire.
 Regarding the fire" last week that turned out to be false alarm, First Selectman Hall stated that the fire board of the town would act upon the matter of paying for the call This will be taken up at the town meeting Tuesday night
 At the meeting next Tuesday a special committee will report on the comparative costs of the New Britain fire contract and the cost of a department in the town, con- sistlng of three stations, one each in Kensington, East Berlin and in Berlin. Complete investigation of the matter has been made by the members of the committee, and it is hoped that some final action will be reached at the meeting of July 30.
 The meeting will open at s o'clock at the tow hall all voters of the town being urged to attend.

BERLIN MAN RAISING RABBITS
Russell Case Grows Rodents for
 Meat and PeltS

Fox farms, chicken farms. dove
 cotes and like activities are 10 be
 found throughout Berlin, but the latest among these activities is the
 raising of rabbits. which is begin
 ming to assume the proportions of
 a minor industry. Russell Case of
 East Berlin within the past year interested himself in the furry
 gentry and. more as a hobby than
 anything else. began to breed some for his own use. At the present time he has nearly a hundred rab-
 bits of various types, such as the ! Flemish Giant, Chinchilla and nu- merous other well known breeds. The fur of the Chinchilla is espec-
 ially valuable. the pelts being worth approximately four to five dollars each.
 The rabbits are kept in modern hutches. one of the hutches being
 what is termed a self cleaning type
 capa ble of holding more than SC "a bbits each having its separate com partment. Then there is the open pen which is so constructed that the rabbits never come in con-
 tact with the ground itself but are on wire runway about eight inches above. The bucks are all ' l +.l, fryl,$ instantly if put together, and SC fiercely do they battle that one Is
 generally killed or maimed.
 The New York market for rabbits
 is very brisk and the demand
 greatly exceeds the supply. The
 meat of the hare is very palatable and is considered a delicacy. Not only can the meat be sold at good
 profit but the belts, particularly those of the Chnchilla, are In con- stant demand Due to the lack of knowledge by many in the raising
 of the rabbit. breeding has beer
 neglected. but in Mr. Cases opinion
 there is a tremendous opportunity and future in the breeding of rab-
 bits to, the one who is willing to
 give it the time.
 The common rabbit may, be
 raised profitably for the market without much of an outlay for food. as it does not take very long to bring it to the required market poundage. Some of the bucks and
 does for breeding purposes are val ued at from s5 to S15 each and always find ready market. Mir
 Case plans 10 expand his equipment so that he will have one of tho largest rabbit hutches in the state NeWtoWn. Mass. July 27 (UP)-

Everyday Law Cases
Is Provision In VIII Limiting
Executors Fees Valid?
RY THE COUNSEII0R
BY THE COUNSELLOR

Frank Hays was informed that he
had been named as executor in the will
of his deceased friend, Charles Roy. He
was pleased to have the appointment,
as Roys estate was large and the COM
missions to which he would be entitled
by statute for his services were sure to
amount to an attractive figure. A read
ing of the will, however, disclosed that
the executor was to receive $500 for his
services in lieu Of all statutory COM
missions.
Hays qualified as executor and adj
ministered the estate. When he was
ready to make distribution Of the
assets, however, Hays asked the court
to allow him to take the statutory COM
missions, which amounted to $4,000, In.
viii. He commended that the provision
as the statute which governed executors
commissions would be thereby contra
vened.
The court refused to allow Hays to
obtain the statutory rate, stating:
IF will provides O sum less than
the statutory compensation, the executor
has his choice of refusing the appoint
ment or accepting 1t on the terms fixed
by the testator, and II he accepts he Is
entitled to no other or greater compen-
sation than the will allows.
I'm one State the limiting provision
has been held invalid, while in several
others the executor has the right to
renounce the provision within q Speci-
fed time and elect to receive the statu-
tory compensation"
