N Berlin News OPPOSED T0 FIRE HOUSE IN BERUI Kensington and East Berlin Residents Doubtfal of Benefits NO INSURANCE ~CHANGE Some Want Three Companies; Oth- ers, None—Poppy Sale Returns Total $98—Many Attend Art Ex- hibit—Coale Better—Briels. Residents of Kensington and East Berliu have voiced their disapproval of a fire department in the town to have headquarters mnear Berlin street. They claim that the taxation necessary to suport such a project would be unfair, as fire rates in Kensington and East Berlin would not be lowered. This is true, as fire Tates, to be lowered, there must have i & fire station within two miles of the ! property and a hydrant within 100 feet. With one fire station in the town, very few houses would be in line for lower rates and all would be taxed the same in the water dis- trict. ‘With the greater part of the town not protected by city water and hy- érants, a volunteer department would be of little use save for the hejp that could be gained through the usé of chemicals. It has been usggested that there be three departments in the town, one each in East Berlin, Kensington and Berlin. This would be the an- swer to the demand for lower rates n the fire insurance but there is no water in East Berlin and ‘in many parth of Kensington and Berlin there is no city water. With a contract with the Ne Rritain fire department in force, in- surance rates in the town would not be lowered but, it is pointed out, the expense would not be as great as * that ef a separate department in the town. AY the rate of $100 an hour, it is net expected that the bill for the year will not be over $1,500, and Men’s Shop—Street Floor the art exhibit at the Kensington grammar school last night.

The veterans had first planned to install the memorial, which is to consist of a bronze figure of a “Hiker” soldier, a base of natural stone, and two plates ex- plaining the purpose of the memo- rial, on the Memorial boulevard, and their plans were approved by the park commicsioners. Objection was later raised by Bristol residents who appeared at the comimissioners’ meetings, so that the park officials finally rescinded their vote. Keeling that they were not being dealt with fairly, the members of the memorial committee ‘then asked for a special meeting of the park board at which they might be represented. The re- quest was granted by ayor W. Raymond Crumb and Superinten- dent ot Parks William J. Tracy, and in the period i:nmediately preceding the meeting a study of the situation was made so that a solution satis- factory to all concerned might be found. Agreeing that the Memorial boule- vard already had as many memo- rials and embellishments as it could safely support without its general beauty being impaired, the mayor and park commissioners nevertheless were unanimoutly in faver of the Spanish war veterans' having a me. morial to their dead comrades on a prominent site in the city. The mayor and park commission- ers decided to give an entire section of Reckwell park to the veterans, and this plan was heartily approved 2 by the latter's memorial committee. The site, which it was decided thould be known as Spanish War Memorial park, 1s a spacious section, 'g¢ lawns at one cf the main entrances to the municipal park. Plans for the park included the installation of the memorial in the center of the lawns, within a circular walk, with other walks convergent to the memeorial from the outermost bounds of the new park. Benches and shrubbery were to complete the improvements and developments. Other Difficulties Arise It was later discovered, however that the change in plans for a site would necessitate the expenditure of more money than had originally been allotted to the veterans for the installation of the memorial and at a recent meeting the city council made an additional appropriation of $1,000 to help defray the increased expentes. A study was then made by the city officials and the mem- bers of the memorial committee so that as much as pessible might be saved for the elaborate dedication which is planned for September 14. Atter a prolonged search a large Loulder, weighing about 20 tons, was located within a half mile of the proposcd site, and it was found that this base could be moved 1o the proposed park location with compar- atively little difficulty and expense. The boaulder is believed to be suited in every respect for the purpose and has sufficient room en its face for the installation of the two large bronze tablets. To Finish Plans Tonight At the meeting of the memorial comniittee and city officials in the Chamber of Commerce offices to- night the final plans will be made. 1t will be known at that time how much money will be left for the dedication and the program. ard the lists ot guests will be prepared. Following tonight's meeting, the installation of the memorial will be begun within a few days and the invitations will be sent to the prom- inent military officials of the state whe are expected to attend the dedi- catfon servi Many military and patriotic organizations frem cities throughout the state will participate in the ceremonies, which are to in- clude one of the largest parudes held in this cf The bronze figure of the “Hiker,” which was donated by Mre.
