Police Chief Glenn Axel was reappointed for the year along with Leo Grosjean to the Muscatine Municipal Airport commission. Homer Weis remains on the civil service commission. The Plumbing Examining board will be headed by retired Charles Rehwaldt with Alderman Duane Keough and three plumbers. Jes Wagner continues on the Cemetery commission. Edward Caliger will serve on the Board of Adjustments. The council unanimously approved 1968 appointments. Fire and Police trustees do not come up for reappointments this year. No appointments were made to the board of health since it was dissolved in October under a state law shifting Muscatine’s health services to county control, though study continues on whether Muscatine’s status as a special charter city exempts it from the new bill. The bill makes no mention of special charter cities.
