Berlin News L. FRED JORNSON - MADE SELECTHAN Kensington Farmer Elected at Regalar Board Mesting REPORT ON FIRE DEPT. Ofticials Back Legion Fire Protec- tion Project—Local Woman Ob-. tains Divorce in Superior Court— Other Items of Interest. C. Fred Johnson, Kensington farm- or, was appointed to the board of selectmen as third selectman at the regular weekly session of the board held last evening at the office of the town clerk, to fill .the vacancy left by the death of the late Willlam H. Schroeder. In making the announcement of the appointment the selectmen stat- ed that the choice was made of a Kensington -resident as that district had missed being represented for the past several years and also because Johnson was the natural choice for the position. The new selectman is one of the best known farmers in the town, be- ing a prominent milk dealer and a former member of the board of as- sessors. He is an active member of the Kensington Congregational church and one of the foremost members of the Kensington Men's Lyceum. It is thought that the new appoint- ment will be satisfactory to all the districts and especlally to Kensing- ton, which asked that the cholce be from that district to insure repre- sentation on the board. The board of selectmen now consists of George B. Carter of the Worthington dis- trict, Raymond F. Dyer of East Ber- lin, the democratic representative, and C. Fred Johnson. Johnson will fill an unexpired term of five months on the board. Officials Support Legion At a recent meeting held iIn the Worthington Community House on ‘Worthington ridge which was attend- ed by members of the Worthington fire district, the Kensington fire dis- trict and the East Berlin fire d trict, and the committee on fire pro- tection from Bolton-Kasica post, American Legion, the Legionnaires presented their plan for a local de- partment and explained the situation, numbering the benefits to be derived from the installation of the new force in regards to insurance rates. It was voted by those present at the conclusion of the meecting that the American Legion be given full support of all officlals present in or- der to bring the subject before the people of the town for thejr vote. ‘The statement of the chairman of the fire protection committee, Adolph W. Schultz, was as follows: = “The following are the recom- mendations of the committee on fire protection. Thers should be two trucks in the fire department. One truck should be equipped with two chemical tanks and deslgned to carry 1,000 feet of hose, ladders, axes, etc. and should be stationed in East Berlin. The other truck should be equipped with a 500 gal- lon pumper designed to oarry 1,000 feot of hose, ladders, axes, two 25 gallon chemical extinguishers, ete. This truck should be placed between Kensington and Worthington ridge. "The department should have at least one full pald man on duty at the pumper and a suitable number of call men or volunteprs who would answer the fire alarms. These men #hould have regular drill periods so both silk and s trimmed at values now at you have. Our | ments at the all sizes, priced $28.95 up You Get spring styles Cost. fighting fires. They should also re- ceive some payments for each alarm which they answer., “The insurance rates on a one or two family house of frame construc- tlon and with a combustible roof in Class F, are $£50 a hundred for three years, in Class E, $1.12 a hun- dred for three years and in Class D 57c a hundred for three years. The requirements for Class D are that the MWuse should be within two | miles of a station and within 500 (feet of a fire hydrant; for Class E the house must be within one mile {of a fire station or within 500 feet of a hydrant in a CI E town or within 1,000 feet of a hydrant in a Class D town, and Class F Includes | all houses more than one mile from ta fire station and more than 1,000 | feet from a hydrant in a Class D |town. The -insurance companies jquote & separate rate on farm prop- erty. “At present Kensington and Worthington fire districts are in Class E and the East Berlin fire dis- trict is in Class F. By having our own fire department we will come within the requpirements of the in- surance exchange for a lower rating 30 that Kensington and Worthington will be in Class D and East Berlin will be in Class E. “Also the town of Berlin will be means that all property more than 500 feet and less than 1,000 feet from will be changed to Class E also duction in their rates. In other words people who are within 1,000 feet of a hydrant or will be within one mile of a fire station and are paying $1.50 a hundred for insur- ance will be reduced to $1.12 a hun- dred there by saving 38 cents a hun- dred and all those now paying $1.12 a hundred will be reduced to 57 cents, thereby saving 65 cents a hundred. From the above you can sce that the fire districts will receive the greatest reduction in their in- surance rates, therefore we believe the fire districts should pay 50 per cent of thg purchase price and also 50 per cent toward maintaining the apparatus each year. The other 50 per cent should be paid by the town | so that the entire town can get the benefit of both trucks. A first class pumper can be bought for $7,500 and a chemlcal truck for $3,500 fully equipped but without hose. However, thess do not have to be paid at.one time but can be bought | on the partial payment plan, extend- | ing the payments over a number of years. “Hose must be purchased separ- ately and must be replaced every | five or six vears and taking 15 years as a depreciation basis on the trucks * [then the depreciation of the trucks and hose plus the rent, gas and oil, charging the chemical tanks and paying the full paid man and call men of the department will amount to about $4,000 a year, plus 10 per cent will be $4.400. Taking 50 per cent of this as the town's share then they should pay $2,200 a year. After subtracting the amount paid at pres- ent to the New Britain fire depart- ment $1,500 from the $2,200 will leave an increase of $700 per year or about 1-10 of a mill additiopal on a grand list of over 7 million. The grand list of the three fire districts amounts to about $5,513,220 and 2-5 of a mill on this amount will be $22.05 which is 50 per cent of the carrying charges of the fire depart- ment. “Under this plan the increase out- side of the fire district will be only 1-10 of a mill each year and in the fire districts the additional 1-10 of a mill town tax plus 2-6 of a mill in fire districts tax a total of 1-2 of a mill. “A one or two family house of frame construction with a combusti- ble roof in Kensington or Worthing- ton fire districts which is assessed for $6,000 would pay a total of 1-2 a mill additional tax or $3.00 a year. Such a house perhaps would be in- sured for $5,000 and the furniture for $1,000 making & total of $6,000 on which there would be a siving of 66 cents a hundred or $33.00.in changed from Class E to D which | a hydrant which are now in Class F | the farms are entitled to a slight re- | ALL NEW COATS Yours at Maker’s Cost Price Our entire stock of mixtures, plaids, twills, satin and faille coats, plain and fur Maker’'s Cost.

S. Prom Friday—Build- ing Permits Issued—Funerals— Posadas Granted Divorce. A burglar alarm system set off by sound waves and a vault ventila- |tor have been installd by the Plainville Trust Co. and are believed to glve absolute security to valua- bles in the bank and to the lives of employes. The two valuable pleces of equipment, which cost -in the neighborhood of $2,000, were de- signed especially with regard to con- ditions in the local bank and were installed by C. E. Johnson of the O. B. McClintock Co., Minneapolis. They are the latest developments in | banking safety and cvidence the { high class of service furnished by | the local bank. | The burglar alarm centers upon an instrument somewhat similar to (a radio microphone. TiMs 1{s sus- pended from the ceiling of the vault and catches the sound of pounding on the door or cven of shouting. "T)\f-se noises pass through this | “mike” and are transformed into | current which sets oft the alarm, | ringing gongs in the bank and on ‘!ll«. outside. Mr. Johnson said to- {day that the system did not guar- | antee to bring a policeman to tha | | scene, but he believed that the noise would scare away any burglars. If fwanted, the alarm eystem may be | tuned so fine that it will catch the | slightest noises, such as wRispers or {the sound of a broom knocking | against the wall. Tt is belleved to | be absolutely burglar-proof, as any leffort to hburn through the steel |walls, cut the wires, or attack the vault in any other way will cause a | reaction which sounds the alarm. | The system is connected with & {clock, which turns it on automati- cally at 10 o’clock each night. It also | gives warning if it is not working | properly as in that case it will not i sound a test call, which can be made !before closing the vault. | The Ventilation System" The ventilator is designed to solve ‘one of the most serious problems confronting the personnel of a bank, that of being locked in the vault behind time locks. The air supply in a vault is scanty, as it has | to be made airtight. It is no un- common thing for someons to be |locked up in a vault accldentally. [Also it is a common practice of hold-up gangs to drive bank officers {and employes, as well as customers, into the vault and lock them ther This problem has long “stumped | vault bullders, but it has at last been ! solved. On the outside the plece of equip- ment presents an uncompromising face of hardened, heat-resisting stecl but {f anyone in the vault needs ven. tilation he can wunlock the steel screwed in core of the eylinder end and withdraw it, then slide into its place a copper ventilating shaft cquipped with a high-speed electric fan. The result is ample air supply for any number of people, fresh air heing drawn in and foul air forced out through the double cylinder. It is also possible to pass food and |water through the opening, even a Inewspaper, and thus the vault is transformed from a possible horror- chamber into a comfortable place of I refuge. A Dutton inside the vault will al- |low anyone so imprisoned to sound {the alarm and bring help. This help {would be of little use if the time- fclock were on, as blasting, chiseling, jor burning would be necessary to open the door, but the ventilator al- |lows the rescuers as much time as {needed and in fact enables the pris- joner to remaln comfortable and alive untll the time lock is released. | Buttons will also be placed at var- i{ous places in the bank where em- | ployes may reach them in case of a Ihold-up and give the alarm to the |outstde world. The customers and |employes of the Plainville Trust Co., |will appreclate these provisions for {thelr safety. struck By Auto | Fadlas Sorochinski, 36, of 51 Fast Main street is in a scrious condition |at the New Britain General hospital |with injuries received about 10:00 | 7:30 | elected: Superintendent, Miss Ma- | belle Barnes; assistant superintend- jent, Royal Morse; secretary vinifred Barnes; treasurer, Victor | Belden; missionary superintendent, | Theodore Carns; assistant mission- |ary superintendent, Frank Kramer, {Jr.: organist, Miss Edith Noble.
