water pressures throughout the
town and give a preliminary esti-
mate of the cost of improvements
needed. The engineers also agreed
to submit copy of the report to
the State Department of Health.
Following the completion of the
report the engineers would hold a
conference with the city council
to discuss the report.
The basis for additional work,
which would include the plans and
specifications for work to be per-
formed, preparation of detailed
estimates of construction cost of
the various portions of the project,
the furnishing of complete general
supervision of construction, the
furnishing of resident engineer
and any necessary inspectors to
supervise the construction, would
be on percentage. If cost of con-
struction was $4,000 the cost would
be 8 percent. The percentage
would decrease in proportion to
the greater amounts with the per-
centage being As percent if the
cost of the project went between
S500,000 and million dollars.
The town meanwhile agreed to
make information available, to
furnish surveys of property, ease
ments and rights of way, legal
services and other general items.
If the work went forward ac-

cording to plan the Engineers
would credit the town with the
$500 cost of the original study.
Should the town agree to have
the Chester Engineers do the ac-
tual construction and supervision
the cost would be percent for a
$4,000 program, or Is percent if

lion dollars.
The entire agreement is on rec
ord at the council office on Third

About the Baker Family
The Baker family won the coun-
ty award in 1854, and it the fourth
Garrett county family to receive
the regional award.
Other regional winners have
been Mr.. and Mrs. Clark Schloss-
nagle, Mr.. and Mrs. Lenwood Bit
finger, Mr.. and Mrs. Ross Grove.
The Schlossnagles were the sweep
stakes winner in 1852, covering all
counties in the program.
The story of the Baker family is
told in the project booklet. eve
feel farming has brought us a
better living. Stanley now works
shorter hours than a few years
ago and spends more time with the
family" said the family in the
booklet.
A visit to the farm by FFBL
members showed a neat farmstead
and a modern, comfortable brick
home with many conveniences.
The 258-acre farm of the Bakers
is primarily a dairy operation.
They have Guernsey, Holstein and
jersey cows producing an average
Of 9,235 pounds of milk per year
per COW. The herd is bred artificial
ly, unproductive cows are culled
regularly and there are drinking
cups in the barn. Plans for the
future call for increasing produce
ton without adding to the herd, by
better stock, by culling, by care
full feeding and good breeding.
The farm has been in the Baker
family for about 68 years. Stanley
took an active part in Future Far
mers of America activities in high
school and after graduation worked
for his father until 1913. Since that
time he has married, has built
himself the brick home and has
been working in partnership with
his father. Mi. and Mrs. Baker
have two children, Constance Sue,
~ years old, and Nancy Jean, 5.
They are active in Farm Bureau,
PIT. A, church and Homemakers
club and other groups.
In answer to how they achieved
their position, a quotation from
the project booklet tells: eve plan
to make farming as near a one
man operation as possible. We plan
to use more efficient methods and
strive for higher production. We
plan to keep buildings in better
state of repair and remodel to use
and accommodate modern methods.
Keep mere cows, use less labor,
spread lime and fertilizer on the
fields, clip pastures and remodel.
Production has increased about 81
600 pounds per COW in ten years.
We now sell hay and feed less
grain

Charles T. Hunt, ST., "a
widely regarded as America:
Mr.. Circus" died Unexpectedly
yesterday at his home in Flor
ence, N. j.. the winter quarters
of his Hunt Brothers circuses.
Mr.. Hunt, a native Of Kings
ton. N. Y, who even as late as
q few years ago accompanied
his productions on the road
probably can be remembered By
several generations Of Wash
ington area circus goers as the
slight, wiry Snowman with the
small white mustache, who
darted about the tents and
stands in nearby Maryland and
Virginia.
He had not been i'll before
his death.
AS the Oldest living operator
Of a circus, Mr.. Hunt had been
known for years as the dean Of
his profession.
With an interest in animals
dating back to childhood, he
entered the circus business in
August. 1892. at the age Of 10,
when he took to the road with
four horses, two wagons. q
rented tent. and six employees.
His efforts. confined for the
most part to the eastern half OF
the Nation, met with immedi-
ate success. At the time of his
death his rolling equipment
numbered more than 20 pieces
and his payroll totaled 100.
Although his circuses were
never on the huge scale of the
renowned Ringing Brothers
and Barnum and Bailey organi-
cations. they nevertheless won
him fans by the thousands,
particularly in this area.
For many years. the Hunt
Brothers Circuses wintered in
Baltimore.
Principal among his local
