Tougher, No Easier for Cleveland’s New Negro Mayor
Cleveland Mayor Carl B. Stokes, in office since Nov 15, says the job is no tougher or easier than expected. He cites jobs and housing as top priorities while facing 13.9 percent unemployment in Negro areas and rising insurance rates after the Hough riots. He plans tax and urban renewal steps and reports from officials to heal ties with business leaders and curb discontent in City Council.
