Berlin News " INNEXATION TALK IS REVIVED AGAIN . New Legislature May Discuss‘ Kensington Question | ACTON IS ANTICIPATED Churches Tomorrow I Scrvices n Norning—Two Basketball Games fhis Evcning—Profcssor Stanley pin Gives Lecture—Bricfs, | | With the proposed abandonment of the fire protection contract be- {we=n the town of Berlin and the Uity of New Britain, speculation is urisng among the residents of Ken- wington as to whether the agitation for the annexation of Kensington and New Britain will be renewed. "'his question has often been dis- | cumecd by promiuent New Dritain cit zens. With the loss of adequate fire piotection facing K msington at the same time that the 1929 legislature is opening its sessions in Hartford. there is & possibility that the sub- ,ect of annexing Kensington to New | Britain will be brought up. The bill | must pass the legislature before it can become a reality. ! Kensington is supplied with water by New Britain, Annexation to New tain would provide Kensington with all the facilities that the tax- payers of New Britain enjoy. Only & short time ago a number of well known residents in Kensing: ton predicted that the time of an- nexation to New Britain was near at liand due to the fact that New Drit- #in road was being built up and new houses were being erected con- tinuously. In case the fire board of New Britain goes through with its pro- posed action in canceling the con- tract and the annexation bill is vassed, it would mean that Berlin street would be forced to call on the Meriden firc department for aid in case of fire. Just how effective | this plan would prove to be is un- known because on the great distance the Meriden department would be forced to travel.
