Quin creates two new offices in city shakeup
Mayor C. K. Quin forged a strategic move after a civil service clash by creating two new inspector posts in the fire and police departments to counter efforts by a pro Maverick dominated Civil Service board to block confirmations of Fred Littlepage and Duke Carver. The board has signaled it will not approve their payrolls, while Quin seeks ways to counter appointments made by former Mayor Maverick and to reshape the board with new nominees. The action intensifies a battle over civil service control and previews a tense political struggle ahead of the new administration.
