History of Cincinnati under council-manager governance
Richard S Childs recounts Cincinnati’s shift to council-manager rule in 1926, noting tax cuts, debt reduction, and service improvements. Col. C. O. Sherrill’s early savings funded better services, with $14 million in debt cut from 1933 to 1938 and a 1934 rate refund benefiting consumers. The piece contrasts pre and post reform performance and cites Reed and Reed on the city’s political overhaul.
