Council Group Will Propose Vote on Income Tax This Fall
A seven member city council special committee recommended placing a municipal income tax proposition before voters in the November election. The group debated emergency adoption versus a referendum, with three in favor of letting the voters decide and four opposing. Council members Scanlon Sterling Frerichs supported a plan for council action, while Van Nostran and Davis favored voter placement. Baker opposed entirely and left the meeting. The issue arose amid concerns the city cannot fund police fire and services without new revenue. The committee chair noted historical funding from WPA and Timken taxes. The report heads to further discussion on Page 12.

Nickles Bond Case Delayed Again In Ohio Hearings
Municipal Judge James T. Cassidy postponed the arraignment of John C. Nickles of Canton to August 24 for receiving and concealing stolen property tied to a $5,000 Israeli bond from a $59,000 heist at the International Ladies Garment Workers Union. The delay marks the fourth postponement as a Chicago witness failed to appear. Nickles is also linked to a 1948 Akron theft involving $23,500 in government securities. The Akron license issue for Progressive Discount and Loan Co. was ruled non cancelable due to Nickles being a stockholder, not an officer or director.
