MAN HURT ATT
TERRA GOTTA
Joseph Fodor in Hospital
With Broken Foot.

Joseph FNdor, f~orty-fiye years old,
a Hungarian employed at the Tot
teuyille plant of the Atlantic Terra
Gotta Company, is in the st. Vincent
hospital, West New Brighton, with a
compound fracture of the bone Of
the left foot as the result of a fall
with an elevator in the pressing
shop at the plant about 1920
yesterday morning. Fodor,
who is a clay tender for the pressinG
department, had just taken a load
of clay from the first to the second
floor and unloaded it when the acct
dent happened. He was about to
descend to the lower floor when the
elevator, without warning, came
down with FOdor on it. His foot
got caught and was injured. DR.. r.
w. Renwick, of Prince Bay, who
was called, dressed the mans foot
and advised his removal to a hospi-
tai, but he would not consent. He
was taken to his home in Weir lane
near the plant and about 6 o'clock
vas taken to st. Vincent's hospital
in the auto ambulance. 1t is eX-
pected that he will be at the hospi-
tai for several weeks. Just how the
accident occurred could not be
learned. The elevator has safety
stops on it and was only inspected Il
few weeks ago. 1t was running
again after the accident.

Highlands, June 8:-The Board
of Trade Of this place are d~ispieased
with the treatment they have re-
ceived at the hands Of the officials
of the Central Railroad Company IL
regard to the station lights. 1t Is
claimed that a committee from the
Board of Trade and the Central
railroad met a few days ago In CON
ference over the subject Of having
the station platform lighted at night
time by electric lights.
After the conference 1t was stated
by some of the committee hat the
officials would grant the request
and have the kind of lights asked
for installed, but yesterday some
workmen for the company came to
town and placed two oil lamps In
the old fashioned glass side wall
brackets and put them on the posts
of the station with instructions to
light them when necessary.
The platform is about 175 feet
long and it is claimed by the resi-
dents that there are as many people
who leave and obard the trains at
this station as any station along the
line and they believe they are en-
titled to better accommodations.
