ALL POLITICS,
SAYS SPENCER
Will Fight Being 0usted
from Tax Board Place.

The report that Edward Harmed,
of Woodbridge, will probably be
named to succeed, William A. Spen-
Ger, Republican secretary of the Mid
dlesex Board of Taxation, is branded
by Mr.. Spencer as a political deal,
which has been in the state of cul-
mination for more than a year. Ac-
cording to the present secretary, he
was appointed May 4, 1910, by the
board, and the appointment was
made under the civil service law,
which provides that appointees shall
continue in Office until they are re-
moved for cause or resign of their
own volition. Mr.. Spencer states
that he intends to fight the effort to
remove him to the last.
In talking of the situation to a
NEWS reporter this morning he said.
1.-THE office came to me without
solicitation. If anybody cares for the
job and can show that he needs it,
| may turn 1t over to him. 1t is no
%sinecure. But | understand there are
POLITICAL reasons for having me re-
moved and if such is the case l will
fight to the limit. Though | am a
Republican, if the law respects my
Office under the civil service, l will
continue to hold same until charges
are preferred and proven to cause my
removal. My office is open for in
vestigation twenty-four hours a day"
