City budget estimates spark council debate and a tax levy push
The common council held a brief session featuring a juggling act by Controller Woollen and Mayor Sullivan. Woollen outlined city budget needs for the year ending Sept. 1, 1803 totaling 837,186.07 with expected receipts of 897,626.51 and a proposed tax levy increase from 60 to 70 cents per $100 plus 50 cents per poll. The mayor after opposing higher taxes sent a letter urging a levy rise, aiming to shift responsibility to the council. A separate note reports a Cincinnati lockout of 1,500 furniture workers and the Order of the Golden Rule behind on 41,000 in payments.
