City politics and civil service questions in Chicago report
The resignation cited a comment as cause and the former employee works as a chemist testing paving materials under Michael J. Doherty. Raymond Katz, Northwestern University graduate, replaces him at the yards though not a civil service employee. Opponents accuse Evans of tolerating the younger Pritchard in a stockyard role that financed water filtration, with disputes over civil service eligibility and private funding. A disputed City Forester ordinance limits tree owners from touching their trees without city permits.
