WOULD MAKE BERLIN PAY THE FIRE DEPT. Charge of $60 Per Call Recom- mended by Commissioners Plans will be discussed, and prob- | 2bly adopted ,at a meeting of the | New Britain Fire Commissioners this evening whereby the town of Ber- lin, which has received considerable protection from the New Britain fire | department of late, may be called upon to pay the local department for all services rendered hereafter. The fire commissioners will discuss the matter in detail. 'The New Brit- ain fire \department has been sent down to Berlin to fires many times and no charge has ever been made, but the new plan to he considered would be to advise the board of se- lectmen that in the future when the local apparatus is called to Berlin/ a charge of $60 shall be made and the rate shall be $50 per hour, the time to be recorded from the moment the apparatus leaves the home = station until it returns. The town of Berlin must also assume all liability for damage or injury to apparatus or men while going to, returning from or at any fire in Berlin. Another matter to be taken up will be to ask the Ber- lin authorities to adopt an official list of men who can call on the local de- partment for aid and no calls from other than these men will be honored. The New Britain fire commission- ers are said to feel that their de- partment should be reimbursed for service in Berlin. They feel that Berlin, like Plainville, ought to pro- vide its own fire protection and in failing to do this should be willing to pay. The condition of the roads in Berlin, especially the stretch between Kensington and Berlin streets, is also a subject of comment by the fire commissioners who think that the de- plorable conditions of these highways jeopardizes not only the apparatus but the lives of the men as well. © Among other things to be taken up by the fire commissioners will be a new plan for building inspection to lower the fire risk. It is possible that a fireman may be detailed as a per- manent man to inspect all buildings with the assistange of other firemen. A plan of inter-city fire protection service will also be considered.

Following the order from Washing- ton permitting all draft registrants not needed to fill up any deferred quota to enlist in the army or navy on or before December 15 the offices of the first and second exemption boards are flooded with applications for certificates entitling registrants to enlist. An eligible man, not needed to fill any deferred quota, must get | a certificate so stating from his ex. | emption board and thus far about 50 such certificates have been issued, It was stated this morning that these Voluntary enlistments will not be credited to New Britain’s quota on the new draft. As yet no information has been re- ceived by the local exemption boaras as to when the final 15 per cent. of the first draft is to be called away. Work of preparing to send out the government questionnaires is pro- gressing in order that on December 15 five per cent. may be mailed and five per cent. more on each succeed- ing day until all registrants not in camp or, enlisted shall have received | one. HALIFAX IN FLAMES AFTER EXPLOSION, (Continued from First Page) of the naval department were trylng‘ | to get into touch by wireless. Station Collapses. Truro, N. S, Dec. 6.—Reports reaching here early this afternoon sald it was feared several scores of people lost their lives when the railway-sta- | | tion at Halifax collapsed. Twenty- five railway workers were killed on the track near Richmond. The advices further stated the ship which collided with the munition ves- sel was a Red Cross liner. WARMER GLOTHING ORDERED IN SCHOOL (Continued from First Page.) schools at from 65 to 67 degrees and not to permit it to run higher. In order to make this possible, teachers are requested to give their attention to the following: 1. See that the rooms do not become overheated by keeping a temperature record for each hour of the school day. Keep this on the blackboard in figures large :enough to be seen by teacher, Janitor and supervisory officers. 2. Advise the pupils to dress warmly enough to keep com- fortable in a temperature of.65 to 67 degreeés. 3. Clothing should be worn by the teacher that is sufficient to insure comfort in a temperature of 65 to 67 degrees. Summer- weight waists and short sleeves will not be a sufficient protec- tion. I am confident that these matters should receive serious attention of all teachers. To fail will be to neglect a patriotic duty in a time when every loyal American must do his full duty. STANLEY H. HOLMES, Supt. of Schools. STANLEY POST ELECTION. At a meeting of Stanley Post, G. A. R. last evening Spencer H. Wood was re-elected commander of -the or- i ganization.

'\ The Company a Public Necessity The tremendous commercial growth of the state - and the national demands for funds have caused a scarcity of money available for mortgages. The large increase in population in the last three years has resulted in a legitimate demand for mortgage accomodations which cannot be filled. The increased demands for mercantile expansion must also be pro- vided for. Therefore an investment in the stock of this Com- pany constitutes not only a safe and attractive in- vestment but it also adds to the prosperity of the State of Connecticut, because every dollar loaned for necessary mortagages is a public benefit. Why the Company Should Be Successful - . S There is a state-wide demand for a Company- of this character. . Tt will benefit builders and real estate interests in general by providing a wider field for placing mort- It will benefit manufacturers by furnishing money for homes for their employes. It will divide mortgages into $100 parts guaranteed thereby providing investors with a convenient and doubly safe mortgage investment. .Interest will be mailed the day due, and all details will be attended to by the Company. The requirements for mortgages passed upon by the Bankers Mortgage Co., Inc., will be subject of the strictest care as the Company will have at its service the best appraisers, architects and real estate men in the state. This will safeguard the investor and create a demand for the company’s mortgages. The Bankers Mortgage Company, Inc., of Connecticut, is patterned after a New York com- pany which earns about 25% annually and pays 16 % dividends on its stock. Every $1,100 originally invested in this company is now worth almost $3,000. We offer stock of the Bankers Mortgage Company at $110 per share—payments to be made as follows: FRISBIE & CO.,, National Bank Bldg., New Britain GOODWIN BEACH & CO., 38 Pearl St., Hartford, $55.00 on purchase; $55.00 on Japuary 22, 1918.
