Mayor-Elect Names New City Officials After Census Push
Mayor-elect William Charney ordered a special census with twelve canvassers to determine if Wheaton reaches 10,000 residents. He plans to place police and fire departments under a commissioned board if the threshold is met, reducing direct departmental control and impacting annual city costs. The slate includes City Controller Theodore Zettler and Chief of Police Edward Ritler among others, with appointments to be made at the board’s first meeting after January 1, 1922.
