Village to create general superintendent for public services
Forest Park Mayor Howard R. Mohr outlined a plan to fund a new general superintendent of village public services from changes in personnel. The position, paying 17 000 to 20 000 dollars yearly, would oversee the merged outside departments of public health and safety, streets and public improvements, and public property. The move aims to centralize operations, with the superintendent reporting to three departments’ commissioners and working to improve efficiency.
