Appointment Delayed for Gettysburg Park Superintendent
The Gettysburg National Park superintendent appointment is delayed as 60 qualified applicants appeal. Colonel J Frank Barber, acting superintendent, filed an appeal and presented data to the civil service appeals board. The board will review new information before Major General DeWitt can decide, as 487 took the exam and the post pays 3600 yearly with a 300 cut. A new 500000 gallon standpipe on East Cemetery Hill is in use following a 14000 project. Alexander Ray and Clara L Settle, both named residents of York and Elmwood, married in Gettysburg.
