Commissioner Weeks Resigned.

New York, 1895

Townsend B. Weeks, an excise commissioner in the town of Oyster Bay, tendered his resignation on Friday. No reason was given for his action, but it is believed that the fact that his brother commissioners refused to grant his brother and son licenses had something to do with it.
