 G. Earle Lourie, superintendent of the water department, reported at a meeting of the board of water commissioners held last evening that 1t would require at least 40 more days to use excess water in Bristol reservoirs over the amount in stor- age a year ago, 72 million gallons. Bristol, he said, was in no danger of a water supply shortage, as the amount in local reservoirs at the present time aggregates 302 million gallons. The reservoirs are nearer full today than they have been at this time of year for many years.
 Reservoir No. 1 is 22 inches be- low its brim; No. is four feet be- low; No. is eight feet below, and No. 5 is four feet, two inches be- low. Despite the unnaturally dry weather which has been experienced for two months, the superintendent reported, 9 steep decline in the us- age of water during September was recorded. Seven hundred and fifty thousand gallons less of water was used during the past month than during September of 1929. The aver age daily consumption was 1,7T4,- 500 gallons.
 12j11c II, Saptnr1 har amounted to S17.6lS.02, or S1,447.0l less than the same month last year. Bills for water unpaid on the first day of this month aggregated S5,- | 95S.42, while bills for work done by the department reached S69,520.G6. State chemists reported on the local water supply under date of October II: The numbers of bacteria grow 1 ing at 20 degree is little higher than In the last sample, but the i count is not excessive and no ob 1 jectionable types were found in ten cubic centimeter volumes of water tested. The supply appears to be en- tirely safe for drinking purposes un- der existing conditions"
