Alex Knowles was painfully in
jured 5 o'clock yesterday after
noon when a pile of lumber he
was working at the South Florida
Contracting and Engineering cem-
pany toppled over. Mr.. Knowles
fell a distance of about 10 feet,
one of his limbs being broken
when it struck a beam. He was
also injured in the right leg and
head. He is resting easily today
at his home, 1908 White street,

Rossiter S. Scott, representing
the Nicholas H. Hill, Jr., com
pany of New York, addressed the
city council last night relative to
sewerage disposal and water
system. Mr.. Scott thinks that as
water is here the sewerage is Sc
riously considered. Once the wa
ter is here the sewerage will nat
urally follow, he said. Mr.. Scott
explained that his company had
submitted a proposition for the
water system to the Monroe coun-
.ty water district board and said
if his company's proposal was ac-
cepted the matter of the sewer
age system would be discussed
with a view to its installation.
