He was taken to the Naval Hos- pital at the head of the island, and an X-ray photograph showed that, though his back was badly sprain- ed, no bones were. fractured.

That was about three years ago, and 18 months or so ago a sailor broke his neck when he dove from the pier and died of his injuries. The pier was constructed for the purpose of accommodating small craft, most of them fishing boats, on that side of the island. They have been tying up there, after returning from a fishing trip, but swimmers are in the habit of div- ing off its pier, and when that is done at low tide they run the risk of injuring themselves. Immediately below the head of the pier are flint-capped sand- stones, which are sometimes cover- ed with a thin coating of sand. From the top of the pier, the bot- tom appears to be sandy, which makes it treacherous for those per- sons who are unaware of the dan- gerous stones there. A Key West lawyer, in discuss- ing the three accidents toda said it behooves the City of Key West to at least put up a sign at the head of the pier, warning swimmers of the danger in div- ing off of it.

After water is supplied the city through the reservoir, a sam-, ple of it will be sent to the State| board of Health to be analyzed. Should it be approved the com- mission will then authorize the using of the water for drinking} purposes. Water has been supplied in Key | West for several weeks, but not} for drinking. The Board of Health specified that it would not test the purity of the water until the res- ervoir had been put in use. The reservoir would resemble a mosque if it, the reservoir, had a minaret atop of it.
