Weld to a gath- ering of about 225 members of the traffic bureau and their guests at | their third annual banquet at the‘C Burritt hotel last evening. The mayor called their attention to the fact that New Britain has been troubled since fts early exis- | tence with numerous railroad cross- ings which pass over some of the city's most important thorough- fares. He urged the representatives of the New York, New Haven and Hartford raflroad to consider. New ' Britaln's raflroad problems, the greatest of which 1s the incon- veniences experienced in traffic tie- ups on the Main and Elm street crossings. He sald he belleved the matter of changing the present system would impress itself in time and that when the time comes New Britain will have to decide on whether or not it would have an overhead or under: ground ralflroad. The mayor's talk was the opening address of the evening. After he had welcomed the guests he called their attention to the great possibili- ties of New Britain, the “Hardware City of the World.” Other speakers fintroduced b Judge William C.

At the time the Maple Hill Fire District was organized, the rate on unpro- tected property was $1 per hundred for a three year term. Recently the | rate was Increased to $1.50 per $100. | On the basis of the old rate and a preliminary inspection, a rate of 53 | cents per $100 was believed to be possible. Since the new rate of $1.50 has been established, the rate of 53 | cents cannot be secured, and it is im- possible to guess what the new rate will be. It is sufficient to say that the new rate will be proportionately lower because of the protection which the new water service affords. No definite agrcement has been attempted with the City of New Britain pending the report of the New England Underwriters. 1t has been tentatively agreed that in case | of a fire residents of the district may call “fire headquarters.” This call given the operator on the New Brit- ain exchange will immediately con- Girls!
