MAYOR REYBURN ASKS
MAYOR SPRUANCE FOR MODEL

A communication from Mayor Spru-
ance was read before the Board of
Water Commissioners this morning IN
which he recommended that the board
send a model of their filtration plant
Ia the third annual convention of City
Planning to be held in Philadelphia
this spring.
The request for such an exhibition
from Wilmington comes from Mayor
Revburn of Philadelphia, and Mr..
Buchholtz Of the convention commit
tee.
After lengthy discussion it was
decided that the model wound cost
too much for the board to have made.
Furthermore it was pointed out that
there was no chance of it being of
any marked advantage to the city, and
Mayor Spruance will be so notified. II
was decided, however, that the board
should send many photographs and
other data to the convention for dis

not yet ben carefully gone over by MIR.

probably have some changes to sug-
gest to the supervising architects
office
Under the present plans there are
practically no changes TO be made TO
the old buildings, except possibly to
change the locations of two vaults and
some stairways. Postmaster Jester
thinks the present public corridor
should b. enlarged and an entrance
placed at the Orange street end Of the
building, the same as at Shipley street
He also thinks that the POstmaster's
and assistant postmaster's rooms
should be closer than they are at pres

He was not i'm a position to state to-
day. however. just what he would sug-
gest to the supervising architects Of

Inquiries are being made every day
at the local Postohice relatives TO the
postal savings bank, which the Gov

One man on last Friday night called

could be convinced that the local Office
has not yet been authorized To accept

BOOSTING THE
PORT BUSINESS
Local Business Concerns Join
in Movement to Keep
City Higher
JANUARY RECEIPTS
TO BE RECORD BREAKER

With $4,000 already in sight as
duty on imports, the local Customs
House officials are looking forward to
the biggest month In the eXistance of
the port In fact they expect that the
duty receipts for the month viii ax-
coed the sum received during last year
despite tho good showing made in
that period as compared with the
year 1909
This big increase in the receipts OF
the Customs House is due 10 the ef-
forts being made by Collector of Port
Raymond and his special deputy,
John Titus, to increase the business OF
the local Office proportionate 10 the
size and importance Of Wilmington
That their Efforts are meeting with
success is certain.
Among the biggest importers is the
L. I. DUPONT doNomours Powder Com
pany. This concern. which some
time ago entered most of its imports
through other ports. is now entering
everything it can through the Will
mingtOn Customs House and Is doing
everything possible to make Whining
ton one of the biggest ports of entry
of amy city its size. Not only this
concern, but other business houses
and importers. who have given the
matter little attention in the past and
had their imports entered through
other Offices. notably Philadelphia,
are joining in the movement to give
Wilmington a prestige az Washington,
which will insure larger appropria-
tions into the future for harbor im-
provements here.
Large quantities Of hCIs for local
broweries. imported glass for Will
mington concern, and even radish seed
for a local firm are some OF the arti-
cles that have been entered through
the local Office this month.

JOHNSON IN SAME BOAT.
Tor political Reasons" Blcasc Re-
fuses to kcappOint IIim-WiiI Not
Recognize Successor.

Anderson, March lO.-Thcre is
trouble brewing over the position Of
magistrate at Sandy Springs, this
county.
W. Earle Green. agent for the Blue
Ridge railway there, has been COM
missioned by Gov. Blcase to succeed
:. NJ. Johnson, who was recommended
by the delegation in the legislature,
but whose commission was refused
by the governor for political rea-
sons"
Mr.. Green received his commission
day or so ago, but as yet has not
had it recorded by the clerk of court.
Mr.. Johnson said today that he will
not recognize the appointment of Mr..
Green. THE law clearly tells me-"
he said, that / am magistrate. and
| expect to mold pat until the supreme
court has acted in the matter, or
until the legislature meets again. In
the meantime" he continued, II will
continue to do blsiness at the same
old stand"
Mr.. Johnson said that he had been
advised by attorneys as we'll as by
many good citizens that the position
he has taken is the correct one.
When the commissions Of the
magistrates for the county first began
arriving, it was rumored here that
II. II. Garrison was to succeed Mr..
Johnson. in spite Of the fact that the
latter had been recommended by the
delegation in the legislature. Today
it was said that Mr.. Garrison had re-
-'sed to accept the appointment. Mr..
johnson has held the office Of magis-
trate for some time and has always
filled 1t with credit There were only
political reasons" on the part of the
governor for his failure to reappoint
him, expressed to State Senator Sui
livan of Williamson when he called
on him and asked why the commits
sion had not been issued. Mr.. Blease
told Mr.. Sullivan, Mr.. Sullivan SAYS
that his political reasons were that
Mr.. Johnson did not support him in
the recent election.
There is no objection to Mr.. Green
nor is there any hard feeling between
him and Mr.. Johnson.
