F. V. Greene is disappointed that Commissioner Roosevelt declined the invitation to head the street cleaning bureau for New York City. He believes the problem of municipal government is more important than the work of the Civil Service Commission and that Roosevelt would have direct influence in New York City, whereas on the Commission he is merely an adviser. Greene hopes Roosevelt might consider a role in city administration when his term on the Commission ends.
