ASK GRESsER'S REMOVAL
Queens Citizens Demand Imme-
date Action by Governor.

Albany. July IA demand for the i'm
mediate removal from office of Lawrence
dresser, President Of Queens Borough
was made to Governor Dix to-day by rep
resentativeJ Of civic organizations Of that
borough which have been active IN the
charges OF neglect of duty and incompe-
tencv preferred against Mr.. Gresser. Re
Gently Samuel II. Ordway who was ap-
pointed by Governor Hughes az commits
sioner to hear the charges. reported TO Gov
ernor Dix that Gresser should be removed.
4 hearing on this report has heen nXed
by the Governor for September Il.
The delegation included Arthur E. Keat
ing, Charles Pope Caldwell and william
Matthews, OF the Citizens Committee, ano
George w. Foren. secretary and counsei OF
the Progress Society OF the RockaWays-
They contended that they had spent thou
sands Of dollars in preparing and prosecut
ing the charges and that the fixing OF the
date so far off may deprive the Governor
Of power TO act. because the proposed ne"
charter for New York takes away from
him the power OF removal over borough
presidents.
In a petition filed with the Governor the
delegation refers to his speech OF accept
ance. from which they quote:
I promise on behalf OF the Democratic
party that II intrusted with the power.
shall seek out and close every avenue by
which the public funds have been wasted
or stolen, that we shall remove from the
roll Of oficeholders every man whose ser
vices are unnecessary or unproducuVe OF
good results and shall punish In q manner
which shall stand as an example TOT years
to come such men as were recreant IN the
trust imposed upon them.
We put no faith in those VINO are IN par
responsible for any temporary failure ano
for official neglect of duty in those whom
the people have trusted. But the people OF
this state understand that remedy wnlch
lies at hand in a government by the people
Is TO turn out the unjust stewards and 20
continue the process until the VIII OF the
people is respected and their rights pro-
tected.
The following quotation is made from the
Governors inaugural address:
I shall always bear in midland in this
I speak for all those elected to ONCE with
me at the recent election and also for my
party-that the crying need OF the hour is
efficient and unselfsh public service; that
public officials are the servants or all the
people and are pledged solemnly TO dis
charge their duties with an eye single TO
| the public welfare.
The Governor told the visitors that he
was not disposed TO change the date Of the
| hearing.
