Two prominent citizens are claiming
the honor OF being Wilmington's port
physician. The matter is attracting
much attention and was brought before

port physician in 1898 to succeed Dr.
Willard Springer, who resigned the
Office in that year. held the appointment
until several weeks ago.

crnor and Governor Hum recently ap-
pointed DR.. J. W. Bastian to succeed
Dr. Hughes. DR.. Bastian received his
commission on February 90. lie was

crivcd II month salary from City Coun-
Gil several days ago
II was said that Dr. Hughes received
his salary FOR the past month, hut when
asked about the matter last night he
stated that hr had received no salary
for the past month.
The port physician is an cy-ofllcio
member of the Board of Health and re-
ceves pay from City Council the same
as other members of the hoard
Both Dr. l'astian and DIR. Hughes
were present at the meeting Of the board
yesterday when the matter was brought
up. The hoard decided that it was
outside its jurisdiction and thought the

ion that from the fact that he. DIR.

New Toll Gate.

A few weeks ago another toll gate
was erected ON the kcnnctL pike Il
short distance this side Of the Lower
Brandywinc Presbyterian Church, in
order to prevent various parties get
ting out of paying the proper fee for
travelling over that thoronghfare in
going to and from this city. Some
thirty or forty years ago Il toll gate
stood on the pike opposite the Will
son property but it was removed on
the ground that the expense of keep
ing it up it seems was considered
mure than equal to the money paid
by those who otherwise escaped.
