Mayor Mitchel Is the Cause of Resignations Is Denied. It was announced to-day that City Chamberlain Henry Bruere, Mayor Mitchel’s chief adviser, and Dr, Sig- mund 8. Goldwater, Health Commis sioner and President of the Board of Health, are to resign. The City Chamberiain, it is under- stood, has received an offer to be- come the director of a bureau organ- ized to install a new form of muni. cipal government in many of the largest cities in the country. Dr, Goldwater, who resigned os super- intendent of Mount Sinai Hospital, a year ago last February, to accept the Health Commissionership, is now wanted badly by that institution. It Proposes a million dollar enlargement of the hospital plant. There were. rumors that friction existed between the Mayor and Dr. Goldwater, because of the Health De- partment order calling. for the mus- zling of all dogs. While the Mayor was flooded with letters of protest, there was never any serious difficulty between him and the Health Commis- sioner, it was said at the City Hall, Dr. Goldwater's resignation will go into effect the firsc of next month, untess Mayor Mitchel to-day succeeds in Inducing him to remain until the end of the year. For the first time it became known to-day that when Dr. at the earnest solicitation , decited to relinquish his work as head of Mount Sinai Hospital at the beginning of the Mitchel Ad- ministration it was with the under- standing that he would remain head of the Health Department for only one year, Mayor Mitchel has become so im- pressed with Dr. Goldwater's work, particularly his crusade against the traction companies for overcrowding and unsanitary conditions in cars, that be has decided to retain him at any cost. The salary of Health Commissioner is $7,600 a year, It is understood Dr. Goldwater had ‘an income of $25,000 @ year while he was connected with Mt. Sanai Hospital. Since he has been Health Commissioner it is said Dy. Goldwater has received an offer of $190,000 @ year from a private con- cern. Mayor Mitchel professed to know nothing of Mr. Bruere's intention to resign. He referred questioners to the City Chamberlain himself. Mr. Bruere_said: “My present intention is that I won't remain for the rest of the Mitchel administration, Just bow soon I shall sever my connec- tion I don't know. But I have de- termined to seek new fields. ‘The prevailing impression in city administration circles is that Mr, Bruere will resign his city post per- haps in six months and surely by the end, of the year. Mayor Mitchel hopes to retain Dr. Goldwater for at least the remainder of the present year. With this end in view he to-day called Philip J. Good- hart, acting president of Mount Sina! ‘Hospital, to the City Hall. The Mayor asked Mr. Goodhart if it would be possible for the hgspital authorities to dispense with the services of the doctor, at least in part, for the te- mainder of 1915. The Mayor said he had big plans under way and would need the assistance of a man of Dr. Goldwater's calibre.
