Aendance at the weekly Kens-

 co,iderably so far this season be-
 cese Of the absence Of bus accom-
 rdations to the field on Percival
 senue, and efforts to get the Con-
 acticut company to run bus on ,unday during the hours Of the game have met with i'll success so far.
 Yesterday one of the best attrac- tions of the season was offered base ball fans in Berlin and vicinity but the attendance was not up to that expected because Of the lack of transportation to the field. At the present time fans who wish to at tend the game from New Britain or vicinity must take Connecticut company trolley which takes them within a mile of the field, and the prospect Of walking that distance does not appeal 10 them.
 In an effort to meet the Connecti- cut company half way, the manage ment of the te~m has made an offer 10 assume the responsibility of a de- f1cit If the company will allow them this extra accommodation.
 Since this is the only day Of the week when many Of the people liv- ing great distances from the field have to enjoy themselves, it is the hope of the citizens of the town that some agreement may be reached which would be beneficial to all concerned.

Bic Tanks Are Drained
The water tanks in Chevy

Unable to Wash
Thousands Of residents in Chevy
Chase and surrounding territory
were unable to obtain even enough

THE break occurred in q 12-inch

the, Biz reserve tank in Alta Vista,
at point on Jones Mil Road near
the northwest corner OF the Column

The pipe burst about midnight,
but the break was not discovered
for several hours and then was not
located until about a. m. today,
because of its inaccessibility. It
is away from homes or buildings.
BY the time engineers had dis
