that he has been planning for some
time to relinquish the position of
city commissioner. He has been urg-
ed by different interests to engage
in the mercantile business. Before
becoming commissioner more than a
year ago he was in the mining and
farm brokerage business.
1t is said that no personal griev-
ances are behind the resignation as
regards the dealings Of the commits
sioner with other city officials. One
strong reason assigned for the retire
ment is the desire of his family and
intimate friends that he escape the
turmoil of being commissioner. 1t is
also limited that the mayoralty bee
has been bothering Mr. Lilienthal of
late.
