Wilson Bloc Fails To Pass City Budget In New Council
The newly elected Cincinnati City Council failed to pass the first ordinance for current expenses for the year ending December 1, 1930. The Republican minority including Woeste Yeatman and Patterson blocked a rules suspension, forcing Mayor-elect Russell Wilson to call a 10 o'clock meeting to avoid payroll crises. The dispute centered on proportional representation and Finance Committee membership, with debate over budget provisions for a probation department and court stenographers. The council’s majorities and minorities backed their nominees in the mayoral race, and Woeste’s motion to make Wilson’s election unanimous was carried.
