The election promises to be a very quiet one, owing to ths lack of serious opposition to the regular nominee*, and, besides, the people of tlija community are 'tired of elections.

DANNENBERG RESIGNS. His Resignation Tendered Yesterday to Go Into Effect at Once GIVES HIS SEASONS THEREFOR To tin all Sqooro Park Had Botblngto Do With It, bat tho Work of the Board Took Vp Too Uwch of Ilia Time, Mr. J. Dann©nb©r£, chairman of tbe board of public* works, ha« resigned from the board. Mr. Dannenberg’s resignation was tendered early yesterday morning, with the request thst it take effect alt one;*, and aa there uaa been little or no har mony between Mr. Dannenberg and the other members of the board, there fc* n> question about the acceptance ot h!a roslgna'tion. Mr. Daruii-nberg'a reslgnatlqn will be learned by tile public with great sur prise/ as it is remembered' that he posi tively deoClned to resign when by reso lution tbs dty council soma time ago asked him to do 00. Ho suited then that ho would not resign, but things havo changed. Only half of the coun cil* -that o«ked him to resign are now In office, and Mr. Dannenberg does not feel that lie la gratifying those who ashed him io resign. For some reason Mr. Dannonberg'o resignation wua kept ao exceedingly <lulct yesterday that very few knew of it, and 'ihh» fuinouncemlnt of it will be read with surprise even l)y many of die city officials, who ar« supposed to know all that is going on.ia city flffans, but that It h a fact the Trie- graph has Mr. Dasmenbeffg's own Statement. While noshrg about 'tho city hall yesterday a Telegraph reporter heard Just t*ho faintest rumor that it was probatfc? that Mr. Djmnenbcrg had re signed, or Would resign. Without wait ing .further, as no 00c about the hall i^epied to know any'tlilng, or if they did they, were” not inclined to talk, the reporter oouitfit Mr, IXunn -nberg at hla store on # i/hlnd street, and a^ked him if it was true that he hud resigned from the hoard of public works, and Mr. Dannenbepg unhesitatingly replied that bn had. "Mr. Daiwumfcerg, have you any ob- Jectkww to stating your reasons for re signing?” naked tile reporter. 'M'htive no objections whatever,'* re plied Mr. Danncnhcrg. "It required too much of my dm© to be a member of tht board, and I have contemplated re«JgnIng for a long time. As far back as last summer, when 1 was in New York I had my resignation written out, but afterwards decided to wait until a now council was elected tlo ra- sl'tu. and at tho request of Mayor Hfttae and many of my *frleod» I re mained a member much against my wklics. No man shtnild be a mcmb?r of the ii^ard of publlo works who cannot give lilu entire time to it." "Then, Mr. Dannetvberg, the improve ment of Tattnall square park over your protest had nothing to do with orour resignation?" "Tho park had nothing to. do; with it. 'fund. In fact, the work on the {park la carrying out my Ideas exactly. I have no compkidnt to make about the park, and It had nothing to do with my ac tion. The city, however, ha.s' n*> money to spend. You havo no Idseu of the con dition 'tilings aro In, and I wanted too got out of it." Mr. Danncnberg had no com pin In t to miko against Mws, Wan' ani Ellis tho other two public works commis sioners, but it was evident from 7 hla remarks that h> would not tot the old bjard of aldtrmen havo 'the privilege of electing his sucooeHor. Mr. Datincmberg’rt resignation leilVea not owe of tho original public vyorka ODmmlR«lori!*ts named In the new char ter tiiat went into effect one year ago. Tho original board was composed .of J.
