City employee Bandel accepts subordinate park post after 42 years
At age 79, Bandel agreed to step down as park superintendent to an assistant role at 100 dollars a month with 12.50 extra for car use. Council minutes from 1941 show the transition to an assistant position while awaiting a city employees retirement plan.
