City Employees Lose Out In New Administration
The incoming city administration takes over next week and plans changes in the city staff. John Tay Cobbs shifts from utilities attorney to city attorney, Victor Keller returns to private practice, and Martin Arnold may succeed in utilities. Rumors tie Arnold to former Mayor Quin and Morrison. A strange new face, M. L. Roark, appears connected to the campaign and may replace Quin in the tax office. Freddie Huntress is slated to become chief deputy assessor, with others expected to resign or be reassigned as Callaghan reshapes the departments. Chief Hopkine and the police force face significant cuts while Fidelities loom over contract talks and park concessions.
