ORDINANCE ORDERED
PROHIBITING HEAVY
TRAFFIC ON NORTH A

Heavy traffic will be prohibited on
North A street from Fifth to Sixteenth
streets if the orders of the board of
works as conveyed to the city attor-
ney Monday, are carried out. The
board ordered the city attorney to
frame. an ordinance to this effect, for
Introduction in council. Signs will in
form drivers of heavy motor trucks of
the city's action.
Although the board decided to i'm
prove North Nineteenth street by lay
ing cement curb and gutter, near the
railroad, the improvement will not be
made until next spring, the board
ruled. Hearing was held on this and
one other improvement Monday. The
other was on a cement sidewalk from
Fourteenth to Fifteenth streets, on
North D. This resolution, too, was con-
firmed
Three petitions for improved alleys
were received and referred to the city
engineer for plans. They cover terri
tory as follows:
Alley between North Thirteenth and
Fourteenth streets, from D to E; be
tween North Sixteenth and Seven
teenth streets from c. to E. and be.
tween South Tenth and Eleventh
streets from G to l.
Stop Use of Street.
Action to keep the circus from us
ing South B street, from South Twen
ty-first to Twenty-third streets, was
taken by the board, when it ordered
police commissioners to notify the
concern to that effect. This street has
been newly graveled.
Plans for the comfort station to be
put in under the city light plant office
were adopted by the board when pre-
sented by the city engineer. The
board ordred separate bids advertised
| for and for the general construction
plumbing, heating and lighting con
| tracts.
Pending decision by the city anc
county concerning the improving o.
Northwest Seventh street, the city
engineer was ordered to block the
street at the Dennis school building
and put up a warning light to keel
/ motorists from using the street, which
/ was declared to be dangerous.

COAL FOR DOMESTIC
USE MAY BE SHORT,
FACTORIES SUPPLIED

Domestic consumers appear to be
the ones most likely to suffer from
coal shortage in early fall, according
to reports Monday. Manufacturers,
almost without exception, have coal on
hand to keep their plants running un-
til about the middle of September or
the first Of October, number of them
say.
Supplies of fuel at the various coal
yards is rapidly dwindling, dealers
say, and the chance for replenishing
seems slim. One dealer stated that
the supply he now had would be ex-
hausted by the last of this week, and
another reported that his supply was
far below normal, with many orders in
| for coal now on hand.
Probability of a rise in price de-
pends upon the price that will have to
| be paid for the coal at the mines, the
| dealers say. One member of a coal
| company said he believed the domes-
! tic consumer would not be supplied
with coal by shipment until the rail-
roads and other utilities had been
cared for
Florists of the city are needing very
/ 1StAO >Ooi al PAC CoCAI' anu appear u
have plenty to last until October or
| November One florist stated, how.
ever, that his winter supply for this
year was not in, contrary to the gen
| eral rule.
| No serious need for coal appears te
be immediate. Factories are continu
! ing, and domestic consumers report
that they are waiting for settlement
of the strike situation. Both the Rich
mond city waterworks and the mu
nicipal light and power plant report
sufficient coal for present needs.

WAYNE and PREBLE
VISITED BY STORM;
ONE MAN is KILLED

Portions of Wayne and Preble coun-
ties Monday were in the path of,
severe electrical and hailstorm which
claimed the life of William Trone, 3S
years old, of near West Manchester,
and caused heavy crop damage.
Hailstones the size of hens eggs
were reported 10 have fallen at Bethel,
and the hail falling at Braffettsville,
Ohio, was said TO have been heavy
enough to scoop up with a shovel.
Damage to corn in many sections of
the two counties, and such a flood of
rainfall that threshing will be set back
for four or five days occurred. Win
dows were broken by hail and large
tree limbs blown to the ground in some
sections.
The storm did not continue long in
any locality, but was very intense dur
ing its stay. While wind accompanied
the storm in most places, it is said
that the greater portion of the dam
age is the result of the large hail
stones. Lightning was a factor in the
storm at all parts of the two counties.
NEW PARIS, Ohio, July 31-Wil-
liam Trone, 3S years old. living one
mile south of West Manchester, was
struck and instantly killed by light
ming Monday while picking blackber-
ries on the Elmer Hoover farm, three
miles north of here. 1t is said that
he was walking alone across an open
field when the lightning struck him.
The bolt of lightning which caused
his death was a part of a heavy rain
and electrical storm which visited
this community near noon. The storm
| did not last long, but was accom-
panied by severe electrical display.
! Mr.. Trone is survived by his widow,
six children, his mother and six bro
| theirs and sisters.
BETHEL, Ind, July 31.-Hail the
size of hens eggs fell here for about
Is minutes Monday morning during a
| severe rain and thunder storm. Win
| dows were broken and much corn was
! damaged. Limbs were blown down
ard the heavy rainfall will make
| threshing impossible for several days.
The storm was accompanied by
| lightning but no damage from that
source is reported Beginning about
10:30 o'clock, the storm continued for
about half an hour. and seemed to
cover only about a mile in and about

| The storm continued for about 45
minutes. No great damage was caus.
ed according to reports. Little vino
! was present but the lightning was ex
ceptionaly active.
WEST MANCHESTER, Ohio, July
31.-A heavy rain storm struck West

minutes. Little damage is believed to
