James Baker Wins In Tournament


Mr.. Jno. N. Baker sends us from
Springfield, o., clipping from
Springfield paper, containing an ae-
count of winners in junior tennis
tournament in Clark county, also a
picture of the champions. Among
them Is Mr.. Bakers son James who
was winner of the boys junior sin
giles title. The contest was among
boys between 16 and 18. James
was presented a cup in honor or
his skill. The fact that he was
winner speaks well of his ability.
as the players and courts were
strange to him, and at that he lost
only one game out of all he played,
taking them in straight sets and
winning over two eX-champions.
Mr.. Baker says that he himself
is feeling right good now, and that
he has been informed by his doctor
that he thinks he will be able to re-
sumo his work about Sep. 1. He
does not know as yet where the
Metropolitan Insurance company
with which he is employed, will
place him.

out in receiyership proceedings. 1t
is stated that it will more than pay
out. For a number of years it was
one of the outstanding business
firms of Coshocton. Lessened fac

Water Famine Threatens Bristol;
 Drought and Heat Tax Facilities

road, the department took advan- tage of the opportunity to augment the supply by substituting 16-inch for 12-inch where the change of grade required that the old main be lowered. A gap of 1,400 feet was left in the 16-inch main, where it was not necessary to lower the pipe. It is the purpose of the wa ter department to fill in this gap as soon as the pipe can be procured. Next season the 16-inch pipe will probably be continued down Divin- ity street to the corner of School and West streets.
 If plans which manufacturers are making for substituting water from wells which they are now get ting from the city supply do not soon materialize. it will be neces- sary to build another storage reser- voir.
 The monthly report of Water Su- perintendent G. Earl Lourie shows that Reservoir No. is down 20 inches and Reservoir No. three inches. Even during May. in the course Of which rainfall was nor- maj, the consumption of water in this city increased by 1s3,00O gall Ions over the same month in 1928, and the drought and heat of the past week have put an even heav- fer strain on the facilities of the water department

Especial to the Herald)

Bristol, June 19-With a view of guarding against water shortage in the city, the board of water com missioners at meeting held last evening issued the following state- ment relative to the present situa. tion:
 "The large amount of water used during the past week for irrigating lawns and gardens because of the drought, in addition to the extra consumption because of the heat, has resulted in a total consumption of 30 per cent above the normal. which taxes the water mains from the reservoirs to the city to their capacity.
 The latter part of the day the water pressure is several pounds be- low normal throughout the town. and on two or three occasions the highest attitudes have been without water for a few hours.
 If the drought and heat con- tinue. it may be necessary to ask that the use of hose be discontinued. In the meantime it is hoped that water will be used as sparingly as possible in order that all may be supplied.
