there was never any serious difficulty
between him and the Health Commis-
sioner. It was said at the City Hall.

Of the Mayor, deciied to reiinQuish his
work a. head Of Mount Sinai Hospital
at the beginning OF the Mitchell Ad-
ministration 1t was with the UNDER

that he has decided to retain him at
any cost.
Tho salary Of Health Commissioner
u $3.50 . year. It Is understood DR..
Goldwater had an income Of $4,000
q year while he was connected with

cern. -.. -..
| Mayor Mitchell professed to know
nothing of Mr.. Bruere's intention TO
resign. He referred questioners to

Brusre said: My present intention
II that I won't remain for the rest
Of the Mitchell administration. Just
how soon ] shall sever my connec-
tion I don't know. But l have de-
tsrmined TO seek new nelds.
The prevailing impression in city
administration circles is that Mr..
Bruers will resign his city post per-
haps In six months and surely by the
end. Of the year.
Mayor Mitchell hopes to retain Dr
0oldwater for at least the remainder
of the present year. With this end In
Wow he to-day called Philip j. Good
hart, acting president OF Mount Sina!
Hospital. to the City Hall. The Mayor
asked Mr.. Goodhart II 1t would be
possible for the hospital authorities
to dispense with the services OF the
doctor, at least in part, for the re.
mainder Of 1915. The Mayor said he
had big plans under way and would
need the assistance of u man of DR.
| I0oldwater's calibre. Just what action
the hospital trustees will take Is no,
known.
