On July 23, 1964, the following was printed in the city's local paper, The Revere Journal.

The City Council unanimously has named City Clerk Joseph McChristal as the Acting City Manager in the wake of the resignation of former City Manager Melvin Taymore. Taymore, who was named to the job in December after the sudden resignation of former City Manager Edward P. O'Toole, who has since been indicted on multiple counts of embezzling city funds, officially cited health reasons for his resignation. However, Taymore also said in his letter of resignation that he had been taken aback in his six months on the job by the constant tirades of venom and the deep-rooted influences of the past which continue to exert pressure for special privileges for the favored few. Taymore said that the City Council should oppose the upcoming referendum which seeks to return Revere to an elected mayoral form of government and said that the present Plan E government with a City Manager is running the city more efficiently and economically than a mayor could.[6]
