BINGHAM BACK ON
NEW YORK ROLLS
Gaynor Approves Appointment of
His Foe as Engineer at
$4,000 Year.
CONTINUED on page 2.)

New York April Brisadier- General
Theodore A. Bingham. one OF Mayor
Gaynors arch enemies, was appointed
Yesterday chief engineer OF the bureau OF
highways for Manhattan Borough. at a
salary of $500 year. by Borough Presi-
dent McAneny.
McAneny q action created a sensation
in political circles particularly when IT
was learned that he had made the ap-
pointment without consulting or notifying
the mayor of his intention. Mayor Gay
nor, however, lost no time in issuing a
statement approving Of the appointment
In this statement the mayor said that
more than year ago, when he exercised
considerable influence over McAneny, the
latter named General Bingham as con-
sulting engineer in connection with the
repairing of sewers in Manhattan and on
that occasion asked if the mayor would
have any objection to a temporary ap-
pointment.
General Bingham is to have complete
control of the streets and highways as
well as the sidewalks and the repair and
maintenance Of pavements He is also
to reorganize his bureau ms he desires,
dismissng and appointing the men he de-
cides upon in connection with his work.
General Bingham and McAneny are
warm personal friends. Recently, since
criticism of the condition of the pave
ments has become pronounced, McAneny
has been endeavoring to persuade Bing-
ham to take the place. He believes that
o will be able to maintain the pavements
Of Manhattan in a manner that will prove
satisfactory to truckmen and automobil-
lists.
Bingham was graduated from West
Point in 1879. and entered the engineer
corps Immediately. While detailed at the
White House during President Roosevelt 5
administration he had charge Of the
streets of Washington. During the last
year of Mayor McClellan's admnistratlo
Mayor Gaynor preferred charges to Nc
Clellan against Bingham In the case OF
George b. Dury. a Brooklyn youth. and
Mcclellan demanded his resignation.
During GaynoTs campaig ign for mayor in
1909, he referred contemptuously to Bing-
ham In nearly every speech. and Bingham
responded by taking the stump for Otto
>. Barnard, the republican nominee fol-
mayor, and criticisng Gaynor sharply
Later he brought a suit to recover 500,
900 damages for libel against Gaynor
which is still pending
