Merchants oppose new forwarder charges at Perrysburg
A late 1830s Perrysburg and Maumee City meeting denounces elevated forwarding and storage fees. A committee is appointed to correspond with Toledo, Manhattan, Logansport, and other towns to resist the regimen, seeking to protect merchants and citizens from oppressive costs. The resolution also calls for publication in Fort Wayne Sentinel, Logansport Telegraph, Miami of the Lake, Perrysburg, and Maumee Express.
