cided that he wanted Keller too, and got
busy with an offer that is likely TO he &C

Quits Aqueduct Board at Last. After
Years of Effort.

Harry ". Walker, who had been secre-
tary of the Aqueduct Commission on a
salary OF $4,000 a year since 1925, succeeded
in severing himself from that position yes
terday. According 10 his story, he has re-
signed sixteen times, more or less. sine.
he first became secretary of the board, but
was unable TO get any of the designations
accepted until yesterday.
Il resigned" said Mr.. Walker last night
simply because L felt that I was not
doing work to justify my receiving the
money that the city paid me- It was a
matter of honesty
The new Aaueduct Commission will prob
ably not have so easy time In dispensing
with the services of many of the other en-
ployes who are doing little to earn their
salary.
