NEW YORKER.
Civic Honesty Of Robert c. Winters
Is Applauded by His
Superior.

NEW YORK. September 15.-"Wha-a-
att gasped Borough President Cyrus c.
Miller of the Bronx yesterday to the
borough's assistant superintendent OF
buildings, Robert C. Winters. Let me
grasp your meaning fully. Did l hear you
say you were going to throw up this
four-thousand- a-year tob!"
you did" responded Winters. firmly.
and .he added the immortal words: Il
will not draw salary for this lob because
there Is nothing for me to do.
'.This," said Miller, who. while a :e
former. knows practical politics. lis the
most remarkable case I ever heard Of.
Come, now Bob Do you mean it?"
Eyes. indeed" responded Winters. THE
job is sinecure. The superintendent of
buildings does the work himself and I do
not feel that can accept money
from the. city for work which l do not
''We-e-ell'' calculated the borough
president. with a long breath. IN bet
you're the first man in the history of
New York who. ever gave up high
paying city job because there was moth
ing to- do. Winters, you're fine fellow
for coming to me so frankly. Let's
shake"
Can't Quit Now.
Winters wanted the resignation to go
into effect at once, but the borough presi-
dent will keep him in office against his
will until October I.
Miller was elected on the fusion ticket.
On taking Office January I last he re-
moved the Tammany assistant superin-
tendent of buildings. Winters came into
the job May 1. He is republican and
lives at No. Ill East 176th street. When
he was questioned last night he said:
What is there for me to say? I did
only what any honest and fair-minded
man would have done. 1t is not posi-
ton created by the charter and the place
is unnecessary"
Every politician in the Bronx heard
last night Of the resignation. What they
said Of Winters view OF ofice-holding
may be guessed.
