Francis C. "Skip" Moorehouse (May 1, 1923 - March 17, 1982)[1] was an American labor relations specialist who worked for General Electric and served as Town Manager of Saugus, Massachusetts.
He graduated from Saugus High School in 1941 and went on to attend Lowell Institute and Mississippi State College.
[2] In 1970, Moorehouse took a sabbatical from General Electric to serve as Town Manager of Saugus.
[3] During his tenure he dealt with youth crime,[4] attempted to have a $190 million oil refinery built in town,[5] and succeeded in having Wheelabrator Technologies build their incineration plant, which would become the first commercially successful incineration plant in the United States, in Saugus.
[8] In 1973, Moorehouse's sabbatical ended and he chose to return to General Electric rather than remain as town manager.
