Forty-seventh Street, last evening TO
make the formal announcement
Mr.. McAneny denied emphatically
that any dissension or misunderstand-
ing with Mayor Mitchell or other mem
bers of the city government had any
thing TO do with his purpose TO resign.
lie said he had informed the Mayor re-
Gently Of his intention. He would leave
the city service with deep regret, he

of service at the City Hall was suf-
ficient sacrifice OF his personal fort
unes, and that he should be allowed to
improve the present opportunity TO
better his affairs permanently.
Two years as President Of the Board
Of Aldermen under the Mitchell admin
istration he deemed a sufficient period

some time ago. but that he had given
II serious consideration only during the
last two weeks.
