Cincinnati Adopts Radical Modern City Charter
Cincinnati's first council under proportional representation will take office Jan 1 and elect a city manager to run executive affairs. The change ends the elective mayor system and creates a nine member at large council, signaling a major shift from machine politics. Cincinnatians approved the charter in 1924 by a 92 000 to 40 000 vote, after a reform campaign prompted by Murray Seasongood and efforts by the Birdless Ballot League. The move abolishes the mayor and cabinet posts and reshapes city governance.
