Cleveland Public Library Digital Gallery REFERENCE COLLECTION CLEVELAND PUBLIC LIBRARY 1853. KNIGHT & PARSONS’ BUSINESS DIRECTORY, OF THE CITY OF CLEVELAND, ALSO, CONTAINING IN ADDITION I A SKETCH OF THE EARLY HISTORY OF CLEVELAND, AND VALUABLE STATISTICAL IKFORMATIOH. EMBELLISHED WITH A NEW AND CORRECT MAP. CLEVELAND: PUBLISHED B r E. O. KNIGHT & CO., AND PARSONS & CO., 1 8 5 3 . PRINTED BY HARRIS, FAIRBANKS & CO. Printers. Stereotypen aod Bookbinders, Herald Building, Cleveland, 0, ADVERTISEMENT. The publishers, in presenting this Directory, which they flatter themselves will be found, in style and completeness nearly adequate to the wants of our flourishing city, in justice to themselves, and to forestall any criticisms which may fall unjustly on the work, would offer the following remarks: Wo expense has been spared to secure a thorough canvass of the city; every street, lane, and alley, has been reported to us, and we have had no reason to question the fidelity of those whom we have employed. Still there may be, and probably are, some errors in the volume, in reference to residences, places of business, and occu­ pation, arising from the fact that some of our streets are very deficient in numbers ; and especially will this apply to those recently laid out. The most rigid examina­ tion was made of the reports brought in to us, and all that care and industry could do to render the work full and accurate, has been done. The sketch of the city has been carefully prepared by our townsman, Dr. J. S Newberry; the historical portion of which having been principally compiled from the notes kindly furnished him by John Barr, Esq. As a glance at the past, present and probable future of Cleveland, they think it will be of interest and value. The map has been engraved expressly for this work, from the large map of the city recently published. It will be found to be of great utility as a matter of reference. The mechanical part of the book will speak for itself. The paper is from the mill of our friends Younglove & Hoyt, the printing done by Harris, Fairbanks <fe Co. Everything, with the exception of the cover, being the production of the artizans of the city, once known as “ the town six miles from If ewburgh, where steamboats occasionally stop for wood and water.” The publishers hope the book will commend itself to the citizens of the place and receive their patronage. Should this be sufficient to warrant them in issuing another and similar one, this may be but the first of a series of Cleveland City Directories. J an uary 1st, 1853. I GENERAL INDEX. PAGE.

  • School Desegregation in the North: Eight Comparative Case Studies of Commnity Structur and Policy Making
    SCHOOL DESEGREGATION IN THE NORTH: EIGHT COMPARATIVE CASE STUDIES OF COMMNITY STRUCTUR AND POLICY MAKING Robert L. Crain With Assistance of Morton Inger Gerald A. McWorter James J. Vanecko This research was supported by the Office of Education Department of Health , Education , arid Welfare, Project No. 5-0641-2.12- NATIONAL OPINION RESEARCH CENTER University of Chicago 5720 South Woodlawn Avenue Chicago, Illinois 60637 Report No. llO. April, 1966 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS A study such as this owes a huge debt to the two hundred persons who permitted us to interview them and who gracious ly made their files available to us. We are especially conscious of the sacrifices these men made since they were all very busy men and women--school board members , school admin- istrators , public officials , newspapermen , heads of civil rights groups. number of them gave us confidential documents , permitted us to borrow their personal files , and helped us locate other documents which we needed. They spent as long as eight hours in interviews with us. We remember several of these persons as especially helpful , considerate, or insightful; but we have decided not to attempt to thank any of these persons by name here. To thank one or two would be an insult to twenty others who also went out of their way for us; and to thank twenty would be an improper recognition of our debt to a hundred more. We will no doubt disappoint many of these respondents, who were hope- ful that we would present a series of recommendations which they could make use of; but as responsible social scientists we are convinced that our duty is to report facts and possible sociological explanations of these facts and let those who are qualified by experience or training develop specific proposals from this.

Credit: Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution - Advanced Imaging and Visualization Laboratory. 1 Abstract In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA, 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and the National Marine Sanctuaries Act (NMSA, 16 U.S.C. 1434 et seq.), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS) has prepared a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) that considers alternatives for the proposed designation of Wisconsin - Lake Michigan as a National Marine Sanctuary. The proposed action addresses NOAA’s responsibilities under the NMSA to identify, designate, and protect areas of the marine and Great Lakes environment with special national significance due to their conservation, recreational, ecological, historical, scientific, cultural, archaeological, educational, or aesthetic qualities as national marine sanctuaries. ONMS has developed five alternatives for the designation, and the DEIS evaluates the environmental consequences of each under NEPA. The DEIS also serves as a resource assessment under the NMSA, documenting present and potential uses of the areas considered in the alternatives.

  • Boats Built at Toledo, Ohio Including Monroe, Michigan
    Boats Built at Toledo, Ohio Including Monroe, Michigan A Comprehensive Listing of the Vessels Built from Schooners to Steamers from 1810 to the Present Written and Compiled by: Matthew J. Weisman and Paula Shorf National Museum of the Great Lakes 1701 Front Street, Toledo, Ohio 43605 Welcome, The Great Lakes are not only the most important natural resource in the world, they represent thousands of years of history. The lakes have dramatically impacted the social, economic and political history of the North American continent. The National Museum of the Great Lakes tells the incredible story of our Great Lakes through over 300 genuine artifacts, a number of powerful audiovisual displays and 40 hands-on interactive exhibits including the Col. James M. Schoonmaker Museum Ship. The tales told here span hundreds of years, from the fur traders in the 1600s to the Underground Railroad operators in the 1800s, the rum runners in the 1900s, to the sailors on the thousand-footers sailing today. The theme of the Great Lakes as a Powerful Force runs through all of these stories and will create a lifelong interest in all who visit from 5 – 95 years old. Toledo and the surrounding area are full of early American History and great places to visit. The Battle of Fallen Timbers, the War of 1812, Fort Meigs and the early shipbuilding cities of Perrysburg and Maumee promise to please those who have an interest in local history. A visit to the world-class Toledo Art Museum, the fine dining along the river, with brew pubs and the world famous Tony Packo’s restaurant, will make for a great visit.

  • Records of the Office of Governor, 1820-1858 State Archives Record Group No
    Records of the Office of Governor, 1820-1858 State Archives Record Group No. 005 History Before the adoption of the Constitution of 1818, Connecticut governed itself by the Fundamental Orders (1639) and the Colonial Charter (1662). From 1776 to 1818, the provisions of the Charter remained in force except for the elimination of the words “Crown” and “Parliament.” The Orders and the Charter created the office of the governor, but did not make it an independent executive department. Except when exercising powers in wartime as “Captain-General” of the militia, the governor did not enjoy the powers granted late twentieth-century Connecticut governors. He presided over the General Court, later known as the General Assembly, and could vote only in cases of ties. Under the Charter, he sat as part of the Council, the colonial upper house. The governor could also convene the legislature for special business. In neither government was the governor an independent executive. His influence depended on his political skills. The State’s first written constitution of 1818 created three independent branches of government, the executive, legislative, and judicial. It “vested” the “supreme executive power” in the office of the governor.1 Another clause further mandated that the chief executive “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” Only white men who were electors and had reached the age of thirty years were eligible for the office of governor. Annually in April all the qualified white electors in each town cast votes for gubernatorial candidates.2 On the first day of the May session of the legislature, the two houses examined the canvass reports and chose the governor.

  • Public Records of The
    The Public Records of the STATE OF CONNECTICUT FROM 1821 TO 1822 VOLUME XXI Edited in accordance with an Act of The General Assembly Douglas M. Arnold Editor Shelby Shapiro Bevi Chagnon Associate Editor Production Consultant Hartford 2015 Published by The Connecticut State Library Kendall F. Wiggin Lizette Pelletier State Librarian State Archivist © 2015 Connecticut State Library PREFACE This volume contains a transcription of the positive actions of the General As- sembly of Connecticut during the years 1821 and 1822. The manuscript which forms the core of this volume—and of the entire Public Records series—is the official record of the acts, resolutions, and appointments made by the General Assembly. It is housed at the Connecticut State Library [CSL] in Hartford in Archives Record Group 1. The records of the 1821 session reproduced here can be found on pages 407–561 of Volume 13 of the manuscript; those for 1822 can be found on pages 8–231 of Volume 14. The appendices to each ses- sion reproduce selected supplementary documents culled from the records of the executive department at the CSL and from contemporary newspapers. Time constraints did not permit exhaustive research. The footnotes high- light the major activities of the General Assembly, identify some significant themes and developments, indicate where additional primary source materials can be found in manuscript series at the CSL, and provide information about important public figures. Brief biographies usually appear in footnotes on the first appearance of an individual in a major office and other key figures are occasionally identified when appropriate.
