CLEVELAND NEWSPAPER DIGEST JAN. 1 TO DEC. 31, 1838
CITY GOVERNMENT· Finance (Cont'd)
of the city council, the Board of Health was entrusted with the duties
of overseers of the poor and the disbursement of all funds for their
aid or support. The subject of a transfer of this charge back to the
township officers has recently been agitated in the council, and are·
port from the Judiciary committee recommends this transfer on various
grounds, the strongest of which is, that by the charter of the city, the
city council have no legal right to levy a tax for that purpose ••••
The council would sustain their own dignity by sending back this report
of the Board of Health with orders to 'expunge' from it everything but
the acts and doings of the Board until the duty of giving the 'lie direct'
to one of the co.mmittee was enjoined upon it by them· wi 11 they do it?
Or will the board like a certain 'foot step treader,' ask leave to withdraw
the pettifogging plea for the continuance of its pay and office."

270 • H&G June 22:2/4 - In a letter to the editor, "Check" says: "While
the 'Chairman of the Judiciary Committee' is giving information to 'Second
Ward' (in the INTELLIGENCER of yesterday), will 'Second Ward' inform
the people whether there is not some $1,500 belonging to the School Fund,
which should be in the city Treasury • will he inform the people how this
$1,500 is now invested? And perhaps he can further inform us when the
old Treasurer intends paying over the School Fund to the present Treasurer. tt
