Ohio House Debates Emergency Cities Relief Bill
The Ohio House debated an emergency cities relief bill after the Senate passed it 24 to 6. Governor Cox vetoed a nearly identical measure earlier. The bill lets local districts decide at the August primary whether to raise Smith act limits to cover deficits before July 1, 1919. Nine of sixteen state employment offices would close July 1 absent new funds. An appropriation bill would cut office funding to prewar levels, threatening more closures. Doctors would face prosecution for not reporting occupational diseases under the Hughes bill now before the Senate.
