Before Assuming Office He Severs Ties w ith Quasi-Public Corporations. Seth Low, before taking office as Mayor of New York, disposed of stocks and bonds worth more than a million dollars. They were good income producers, but Mr. Low thought he might be called upon to pass upon applications for franchises

by corporations in which he held stock and that some persons might question his decisions if he continued to hold such securities. Mr. Low will reinvest the money derived from the sale in securities of companies that ure never likely to come in contact with the city government.
