Reports The Marathon Chamber of Commerce has started a move- ment to establish a bank at that place. Growth of Marathon, the Chamber says, has reached that point where the establishment of banking facilities is essential to the business interests in the community. Members of the chamber there are behind another movement that has as its object the provid- ing of more running water for residents in Marathon whose homes and business places are east of the pumping station in ) that place. As explained by W. A. Par- rish, chairman of the Monroe t county commission, when the pump is operating, not even a dribble of water can be obtain- ed in houses east of the pump. West of the pump a’ provision has been made for the attachment of a six-inch lateral. The cham-} ber intends to request the Florida Keys Aqueduct System to con- nect a lateral west of the pump and extend the lateral one mile to the east, where houses can be connected and have even greater pressure while the pump is op- erating, as is the case now with buildings west of thé pumping station at Marajion. 6 LLhheatouhudathe Late Bulletins (By Associated Press) MIKHAILOVITCH CASE | BELGRADE.—The prosecution, lin the treason case against Gen- eral Mikhz/ovitch, announced, lon re-opening the case this morn- ling, that he would conclude the cross-questioning of the general ltoday.
