THINK IT CALAMITY

After many years service In the
city government. Charles T.. Boiling
yesterday morning rendered his
resignation as city engineer TO the ad-
ministrative board. No definite ac-
ton was taken by the board.
I'm presenting his resignation, Mr.
Boiling handed the board a letter In
which MT some length, he gave rea-
sons for his action
When seen by "A Nireinian reporter
last night. Mr.. Boiling said that his
letter 10 the administrative board
made as clear as possible his reasons
for retiring from the office TO which
he had devoted a number of his most
useful years
II have given the subject most seri
Gus thought and consideration for
some time" said MIR. Boiling. THE
work which Is accommodating in the
Office. and which keeps my force AT
work day and night. and keeps me
at my desk or before some council
committee or the administrative
board many hours Il week, is growing
to such magnitude, that it is impossi-
BILE 10 properly attend to 1t with the
/ force that is placed al my command.
II do not mind the long hours. nor
the tedious sessions which must Ne
part of my daily routine. hut the
men In the Office should receive some
consideration AS il stands now. 1t Is
absolutely Impossible 70 make head
way on many propositions which this
office must. In the nature OF things,
eventually take up and solve.
1 No Personal Feeling.
: There Isl no personal feeling in the
matter. I have reached this conclu-
sion deliberately. and after full con-
sidaration.
II cannot say what I might do In
,Rv.fs tx~a
piles me with the sinews Of force,
because | cannot anticipate any action
which that body might take.
THAT is the situation, however. My
letter to the board states my case ex-
deity II the board decides TO give
this office relief which II needs. then
that Is another matter. But cannot
express myself upon that until the
beard takes Some step.
AS the matter now stands my
resignation Is in the hands of the ad-
ministrative board, and 1t Is there in
Il good faith"
Mr.. Boiling would make no state
ment In connection with the report
that he had been offered a high posi-
ton with one Of the railroad COM
Ipanies but ii is generally understood
that he had been offered an important
and lucrative position with one Of the
big railroad systems in this section OF
1.-THE country.
What the Board Did.
! When Mr.. Bollngs resignation
came up for consideration in the
/ board yesterday, Commissioner Beck
| moved that 1t be passed by.
Mr.. Whittet, as substitute for Mr.
BeclS's motion. suggested that the
resignation be declined, and that MIR
! Boiling be notified that the board
would at once see that his office re-
ceived the attention it required, Sc
that work in that department might
| proceed,

Then Mr.. Hirschherg moved that

AS Mayor Gaynor wants or they will
be entertaining more policemen than
patrons
chief Edward G.. Wallace, Of the
bureau of licenses. has submitted TO
the mayor report which describes
the abuses Of New Yorks dancing
craze, and which recommends that
restaurant and hotel dance halls be
conducted decently or be put out of
business.
The mayor, Commissioner Waldo
and Chief Wallace, now say that there
will be no interference with decor
ously conducted trots but that all
dance halls must operate under super
vision, and that practices dangerous
10 the morals fyoung women and
young men must he abolished.
After investigating twenty-five res
taurant dance halls under his con-
troll. and observing what has been
going on in some Of the big hotels. not
within his jurisdiction, Chief Wallace
has reported to the mayor that one OF
the evils of turkey trotting at present
Is the opportunity afforded high school
girls and young women from good
homes or associating with men and
particularly with women whose trades
have no polite names,
ban orr Pea Time Trot.
Chief Wallace recommends that tea
time trotting be forbidden in restau-
rants where liquors are sold. If the
tea time trotteries can get along with
tea. all right If they insist on serving
champagne. cocktails and SUCH. close
them up.
There are six hundred dance halls
In the FIVE boroughs that must have
licenses. Mr.. Wallace says that $50
licenses have expired.
Mayor Gaynor's idea is that there
is nothing Objectionable in a cabaret
show. provided the decencies are OBJ
served. and that turkey trotting within
reasonable hours within excise re-
strictians, and under proper super
vision. is not harmful. But the mayor
makes 1t plain that what he terms
iascivlous orgies have got TO stop,
Evelyn Thaw Dances.
Dancing on Sunday as conducted by
Bustanoby's. In West Thirty-ninth

establishments which has fifty rooms
and can therefore qualify under the
law as a hotel, has a right to offer
dancing and to sell drinks, Mr.. Bus
tanoby was considerably cheered when
he heard that his Sunday high jinks
were In no danger,
Today and tonight his trottery was
