Mayor had intended to make public good
deal OF correspondence on the subject. but as
Mr.. Gray had failed to enclose him an impor-

The resignation OF Mr. Gray has grown out
OF charges which he made In the Board OF Fire
Commissioners some months ago. He stated
that the superintendent Of supplies. Charles

MIR. Gray in his letter. reminds tho Mayor
that he would have resigned when he first
called attention to the high price paid for sup

leagues had been uncomiortably strained. but
that the Mayor prevailed upon him to remain
In the Board, at least until the Mayor was rendy
to appoint a successor. Mr.. GRAY remained
until yesterday. when he was relieved by
the appointment Of Mr.. Robbins. Mr. Robbins
