Superintendent to Revamp Personnel Subject to Group’s 0. K.
A truce in the struggle between City Park Superintendent A. C. Sallee and the Park Board for control over the $10,000,000 Park Department’s operations was reached today. Brewing for several months, dissension between the Board and superintendent reached a climax yesterday when Mr. Sallee threatened to resign unless allowed to reorganize the department. Mr, Sallee said it should be operated on a more efficient basis and that he should nave full control over personnel.
