Sanford Will Demand Resignations

New York, 1895

The action of the excise board in Long Island City in ignoring the protest and petition of the Rev. Charles Park of the Presbyterian church, in relation to transferring a license to David Mark, has created intense feeling. Mayor Sanford denounced the action of the board and said that he would immediately demand the resignations of Commissioners Mitchell and Lankow. The mayor said, in the event of the refusal of his request, he would promptly prefer charges against the commissioners, and had in his possession ample evidence to insure their removal.
