COM. BISPHAM
REAPPOINTED
Again Named as Inspector Of
Fourth Light House
District
FEAR PHILADELPHIA
WILL GET OFFICES AGAIN

Commander H. A. Bispham, inspcc-
tor Of the Fourth Lighthouse Dis
trict, with Offices in this city and Phil
adelpha, was notified to-day of his
re-appointment as inspector Of the dis
trict under the new law recently pass
cd by Congress governing lighthouse
districts and the work Of that depart
ment.
Commander Bispham has been the
head Of the Wilmington office since
the retirement of Captain L. II. Rand,
who also was United States engineer
for the Wilmington district. Before
coming 10 Wilmington Commander
Bispham's sole duties as inspector of
the lighthouse district, had to do with
buoys and lighthouse supplies, while
Captain Rand in addition to his posi-
ton as United States engineer of
rivers and harbors in the Wilmington
district, also looked after the erection
and repairs TO lighthouses. Since his
resignation, however. Commander
Bispham has been looking after both
buoyS and supplies and the erection
and repair work Of the lighthouses.
Under the law recently passed there
will be but one head Of the light
house district, and he will be the in
spector Either a civilian or an army
or naval officer may be appointed to
the position of Inspector, the latter for
a term Of not more than three years,
Commander Bispham's appointment to
that position makes him the Inspector
for the Fourth district, at least for
the present
Those connected with the local
lighthouse Office feel that the new
law, which goes into effect Tomorrow,
means that the Wilmington and Phil
adelphia Offices will eventually be con
solidated, and it may be that the Will
mington Office, which was brought to
Wilmington through the efforts of
Major c. A. F. Flagler, will be moved
back TO that city There was nobody
in the local Office to-day who could
give any information on the subject,
and Chief Clerk Smith, of Commander
Bispham's Office in Philadelphia, when
! spoken 10 over the telephone, said
that all he could say was that Com
mander Bispham had been reap
pointed.
There are some who fear that in the
event of the lighthouse Office being
removed from this city, the United
States engineers Office, of which
Major r. r. Raymond is the head
will also be taken away, in time, and
the work of Improvements 10 this dis
trict directed from Philadelphia.
