Because Mayor Julian A. Gregory
of East Orange, had not given him

resignation of Water Commissioner
Samuel Whinnery, a well-known con-
sulting engineer. The resignation is
to take effect on March l. The mayor
has accepted the resignation.
Mr.. Whinnery accompanied his
resignation with letter in which he
takes issue with the policy of Mayor
Gregory with having a personal rep
resentative on the various city boards
and adds that such member could
distate the policies of the boards
No self-respecting men would serve
on a board where such a condition
existed" he added
