MILFORD EMERGENCY
HOSPITAL WILL OPEN SOON

A meeting of the Board of Trustees
of the Milford Emergency Hospital
was held on the evening of May 9,
1921. DR.. Frank L. Grier, president
of the Board of Trustees, presided at

taken up at this meeting was the de-
cls1on of the Board of Trustees to ap-
point a highly qualified woman super
intendent for the Hospital. This wo-
man superintendent is to be, not only
trained nurse, but one who has had
considerable hospital experience as a
manager and directress of nurses.
Every effort is being made to make
this appointment at the earliest DOS
sible date after the rules and regula-
tions for the management of the Hos
pital are adopted
Considerable progress was reported
in the matter of preparing rules and
regulations for the proper manage
ment OF the Hospital. The Board of
Trustees will meet with Mr.. Macken-
zle OF the State Board of Charities on
the evening of May 16 to discuss the
rules and regulations which he has
been drafting in cooperation with
members of the Board.
The Board of Trustees feel that the
Hospital can be opened at an early
date when the rules and regulations
are adopted and the superintendent
appointed.
Contributions which were reported
from other towns in Sussex and Kent
counties show a great interest in the
HOSPITAL.

THROWSDOUBT ON VAL
IDTYOFLAW FOR FERRY
PART OF LEWES-CAPE MAY FERRY ACT
MAY BE ALL RIGHT, BUT OTHER
PARTS NOT COVERED BY TITLE.
so SAYS A JERSEY OFFICIAL
MAY PREVENT ANY MOVEMENT TOWARD
ESTABLISHMENT OF A FERRY Line
FOR The time BEING.

Chief Engineer Charles M. Upham
of the Delaware State Highway Com
mission has received a cOmmunica-
tion from A. Lee Grover, secretary of
the New Jersey State Highway Com
mission, in which he encIOses an opin-
ion by AttOrney-General Thomas F.
McCran of New Jersey, declaring the
act establishing a ferry between Cape
May and Lewes to be unconstitutional.
This may prevent any movement to-
ward the establishment of a ferry
line between the two States for the
time being.
At the recent session of the Della
ware Legislature an act was passed
providing for the ferry from the Del
aware side, with the understanding
that New Jersey would take similar
action. The opinion of the New Jersey
attorney-general is as follows:
L am replying to your inquiry of
April 22 last, concerning the proposed
new ferry between Cape May and
Lewes, Delaware. The Highway Com
mission desires you say, to be advised
as to the obligation placed upon the
commission under the authority of this
act of the Legislature known as Chap
ter of the laws of this year. There
IS a similar staute in force in Della
ware, approved by the governor of
that State on April z last.
Il have examined these two statutes
and am of the opinion that land and
water. right may be acquired at Cape
May or vicinity, as authorized in the
statute, and that your commission NAV
erect thereon buildings, and also
piers, wharves, docks to be used for
boat landings and for the CARRYING
and transportation of automobiles and
other vehicles.
'The title of the statute is as fol-
lows: "An act by gift, devise, grant.
purchase or condemnation, land and
water rights, and to place structures
thereon as part of the State High
way System, and providing for the
cost thereof. You will observe that
the title says nothing about purchas-
ing boats or operating ferry between
cape May and Lewes, nor does it au-
thorlze the making of an agreement
between the States for the operation
)t ferry for the carrying of passen-
gers and vehicles and the collection
1f tolls.
Il am of the opinion that such pur-
pose, as expressed in the body of the
lct in sections and 6 thereof, is for
IN object not expressed in the title,
ind to that extent the statute is un-
I think, however, that
hese provisions are severable and
hat the statute may be carried out,
o the extent to which 1 have indi-
'ated, by your commission, if the do
ng so will operate to effect the pur-
'ose of the statute without the inval-
d provisions indicated being carried
ut at this time.
I have this day, by telegraph, noti-
ed Mr.. Ogden, president of the Cape
lay Chamber of Commerce, in re-
ponse to letter of inquiry from him,
hat 1 am advising you.
CSigneD Thomas F. McCran,
AttOrney-General."

KILLED BYFALL FROM TRUCK
PAUL SMITH met WITH FATAL ACCIDENT
LAST SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

A distressing accident occurred
last Saturday afternoon on the du
Pont Boulevard, when Paul Smith
aged IA years, son of Mr.. and Mrs
Eugene Smith, of East Front street

zard, had accompanied Allan Ben

without regaining consciousness. Fu-
neral services were held Tuesday af-.
ternOOn at his late home, Rev. c. E.
Dryden officiating, and interment was
made at Odd Fellows cemetery.
Following the accident rumOrs
spread around Milford to- the effect
that Mr.. Tucker had refused to bring
the boy to the hospital without being
paid for his services in advance. This
rumor has been thoroughly investi-
gated by Raymond D. Ingram, State
police, and the authorities
and Mr.. Tucker has been thoroughly
Allan Bennett states that
Tucker did not demand money before
bringing the injured boy to Milford,
and that he did all in his power to
get him to the Milford Emergency
