Each officer also generally kept numerous subject files and voluminous constituent correspondence. General topics include mass transit, utilities, parks, traffic, urban planning, and other policy issues.
Subject(s): Municipal Government, Politics and Government
Processing Notes: The Toledo Mayoral Papers originally consisted of separate inventories processed by various individuals over several years before being combined into a single finding aid. Because the order and method of processing have been largely retained, the names of the series vary despite many mayors’ records covering the same city departments and subjects.
Ollie Czelusta served two terms as mayor, with these terms being separated by the term of Lloyd Roulet. For the convenience of the researcher, the records of Czelusta’s terms are listed consecutively, followed by Roulet’s.
The papers of John Potter contain some overlapping material from Ollie Czelusta.
Record group XI consists of one box of miscellaneous publications. Those that could be identified as belong to an individual mayor are listed as part of that mayor’s particular record group, although all publications are contained in the same box.

Researchers bear full legal responsibility for the acquisition to publish from any part of said collection per Title 17, United States Code. The Ward M.

Information about the office of mayor
Mayors and vice mayors were elected by the nine members of city council from 1934 to 1963, when this decision was placed in the hands of the general municipal electorate. The election of 1965 was the first decided by a popular vote since 1934.

RECORD GROUP I: OLLIE CZELUSTA (1951-1952)
Biographical Sketch
Ollie (Aloysius Charles) Czelusta was born in 1896 to John and Josephine Czelusta, second- generation Poles. He attended St. Hedwig’s School and St. John’s High School in Toledo as a youth, and went on to attend St. John’s University as a student of law. Czelusta worked for the Willys-Overland company of Toledo, fought in France during World War I, and returned to Toledo to continue his educational career at St. John’s.
Czelusta’s political career began with a 1920 defeat in the race for a seat on the Ohio state legislature. He subsequently served as assistant superintendent of the State-City Free Employment Office from 1920-21, and assistant law director and police prosecutor for the City of Toledo from 1923-1924. In 1935, Czelusta vied for a seat on the city council and lost, but won a position on that body in 1937. He served as vice mayor in 1940, 1941, and 1943, and then was elected mayor by his peers on city council in 1951. He served as mayor for three terms: once from 1951-1952 and two consecutive terms from 1954 to 1957.
Ollie Czelusta died in 1981.
Scope and Content Note
Mayor Czelusta’s interoffice files include materials from the City Council, the Finance Department, the Health Department, the Departments of Public Safety and Public Service, and the municipal Welfare Department.
Finance Department files provide information on municipal taxes, including the City Manager’s report on city income tax for 1951 and correspondence regarding the payroll tax, as well as the Financial Auditor’s Annual Report for 1951. The general financial file contains summaries, reports, and correspondence on financial issues. Two files from the Health Department are comprised of constituent complaints and monthly reports from December 1950 to August 1951.
The Department of Public Safety was broken down into several divisions. Noteworthy files include the Inspection Division’s annual progress report for 1950, correspondence and constituent complaints to the Police Department about narcotics and other issues, and correspondence regarding parking, truck traffic, and street lighting to the Traffic Division.
Files from the Public Service Department include information on a wide variety of topics from several divisions within the department. The two general files on the department contain materials on the annexation of land to the city and on the Community Traction Company, the city’s mass transit service. Two files also deal with the Toledo Municipal Airport. They incorporate information on the federal airport act, correspondence to the Department of Commerce, and publications on planning airports in general. Two files from the Engineering Division deal with the natural gas shortage and the Interstate Highway Program. Three files are devoted to street maintenance. They consist primarily of constituent correspondence on street repair, paving, and lighting. Files from the Water Division include reports, correspondence regarding fluoridation, and materials from the Port Commission. Other files from the Department of Public Service provide information on the expansion of the city’s sewage treatment works, electric usage, a proposal for the North End Bridge, and the Municipal Garage.
Welfare Department files incorporate meeting minutes and correspondence from the Recreation Division, constituent correspondence on tree removal and pruning from the Forestry Division, and a proposal for a beach park from the Parks Division.
These interoffice files outline the major issues in Ollie Czelusta’s first term as mayor and help clarify his role in municipal administration.
Boxes five through eight contain materials related to Ollie Czelusta’s second term of office, from 1954 to 1957. City Council files for 1954 incorporate information on that year’s interviews for the position of city manager, councilmen’s salary increase, and council committees, as well as the presentation of a municipal service award to Gustavus Ohlinger (see also MSS-013). Files regarding the Finance Department’s activities in 1954 include materials on the city auditor, income tax, and supply purchases. Operating revenue reports from the Finance Department incorporate summaries of general fund taxes, departmental revenue, non-revenue receipts, and other income for the city. A single file representing the Health Department contains correspondence from 1954 and monthly reports from May, June, September, and December of that year. The Department of Public Safety files are composed primarily of correspondence regarding the director of that department, inspection, and traffic. Files from the Department of Public Service include several sub-divisions. General files are concerned with the annexation of Washington Township and the formation of a study committee for the Community Traction Company. Specific sub-divisions concern the dedication of the Toledo Express Airport, the Market Auditorium, the Engineering Division, and the Sewage Division. The file from the Gas Division deals with the debate over the Ferguson Bill (SR 3178), a proposal to revise the valuation of natural gas reserves. Other files from the department deal with constituent complaints about paving and trash collection (Streets-Garbage-Dumping file), fluoridation of city water, the Port Commission, and the extension of the St. Lawrence Seaway. Public Welfare materials conclude the interoffice files, and deal primarily with municipal parks.
Interoffice files reveal, to a certain extent, the organization of the Toledo city government, as well as the mayor’s role in municipal administration. For example, files on the dedication of the municipal airport and the Ferguson bill are fairly complete, but no files exist from the Law Department.
Alphabetical files are comprised primarily of constituent correspondence, but also include subject files. Topics include the American Red Cross, the Greater Toledo Community Chest, invitations received and extended by the mayor’s office, Proclamations, the Ohio Municipal League, and the University of Toledo (which was administered by city council at the time).
Files for calendar year 1955 are organized in the same manner as those of previous years. Interoffice files, however, incorporate an additional sub-field of “personal” materials. These files include congratulatory letters on Czelusta’s re-election and copies of his thank-you letters. Czelusta also kept copies of his speeches in this sub-field, among them a talk on the annexation of Adams Township, as well as radio and television appearances and campaign speeches. City Council files include information on committee appointments and a file on the Financial Policy Payroll Income Tax Committee. Finance Department files comprise materials on the proposed city income tax and operating revenue reports for 1954 and 1955. A file from the Health Department is made up primarily of citizen complaints. Public Safety Department files include correspondence from the director of the department, constituent correspondence on trash burning from the Fire Division, and citizen complaints on police conduct. The Traffic Division of the Public Safety Department includes constituent correspondence on parking and signage, as well as Safety Council materials from 1953 and 1954. Files from the Public Service Department incorporate materials on charity activities at the municipal auditorium, federal airport legislation, the Detroit-Toledo Expressway, the condition of city streets, and water fluoridation. Welfare Department files include correspondence and other materials on seasonal employment with this department, care of trees on city property, and Wilson Park.
Alphabetical files for 1955, like those of previous years, contain correspondence as well as subject files. Subject files include materials on “Clean-up -- Fix-up -- Paint-up Week,” a proposal to abolish the city manager form of government in Toledo, Civil Defense files, reports from the Division of Poor Relief, and materials from the United States Conference of Mayors.
Mayor’s papers from 1956 seem to contain more content-oriented material than files from other years in Czelusta’s terms of office. City Council files include lists of committees and their membership, correspondence regarding the Administrative Study Committee, meeting minutes of the Charter Revision Commission and Committee (1955-1956), and Financial Policy Committee announcements and correspondence (1955-1956). A tax rate summary, the 1955 City of Toledo Auditor’s Financial Report, and correspondence regarding the city income tax comprise the Finance Department files. The file on the Department of Health consists primarily of constituent complaints, as do the files from the Department of Public Safety. Constituent concerns included the inspection of sidewalks, “penny arcades,” and signage. One significant division within the Department of Public Service is the series of airport files. These materials provide information on the use of the Toledo airport by the Air Force, revenues and expenditures, parking, sale of airport land, and other fiscal policies regarding the airport. Another important file in this sub-group contains information on the Harris-Fulbright Bill, which proposed to raise gas prices. This file includes a paper opposing the bill written by Anthony J. Celebrezze, then mayor of Cleveland. Public water service was also an important topic during this period. Specific concerns included fluoridation, Senate Bill 102 (which created the Port Authority), and the impact of the St. Lawrence Seaway on local employment prospects.
Interoffice files from 1957 consist primarily of correspondence among and about the various departments. Materials related to the Finance Department include a national survey of license fees; ordinances, articles, clippings, and correspondence on the licensing of budget service companies in Toledo, and an ordinance regarding the city income tax. The single Health Department file provides information on departmental employees.
Documents from the Department of Public Safety consist primarily of correspondence from the Police, and Traffic divisions, but also include reports and plans from the division of Inspection. Files from the Department of Public Service are concerned with the Craig Memorial Bridge and the National Rivers and Harbors conference. Welfare Department files provide information regarding Crane Creek Park, an outbreak of Dutch elm disease in Toledo, and the fountain at the Civic Center. Unfortunately, the file on the Long-Range Recreation Planning Study consists almost exclusively of thank-you letters to committee members.

RECORD GROUP III: LLOYD ROULET (1952-1953)
Biographical Sketch
Lloyd (Emerson) Roulet was born September 15, 1891 in Toledo, Ohio. As a youth, he attended Sherman Elementary and later Central High School. He left high school after one year to work for the Roulet Jewelry Company, which had been founded by his father in 1877. He later became president of the company when his father died in 1932.
Roulet’s political career began in 1939 when, at the urging of some friends, he ran for city council. He won easily and was elected every two years thereafter until his retirement from politics. Roulet served the city of Toledo in a variety of capacities. He was a councilman from 1940 to 1941, and was elected vice mayor in January of 1942. After mayor John Carey resigned in November of that year, city council elected Roulet as mayor. He continued to win re-election until 1948, when he was defeated by Michael DiSalle in a 5-4 vote. Roulet was offered the vice mayor’s position, but declined, instead serving as a councilman from 1948-1949. He was defeated by DiSalle once more in 1950, and this time, he agreed to serve as vice mayor. DiSalle’s resignation in November of 1950 resulted in another defeat for Roulet, as he lost the mayor’s position to Ollie Czelusta. He was finally re-elected in 1952.
During his two terms as mayor, Roulet was primarily known for two accomplishments. In 1946, he appointed the city’s first board of community relations, a panel which worked to counter racial and religious discrimination in housing and employment opportunities. Another important issue during Roulet’s period of civic service was the establishment of Toledo Express Airport. Although the airport was built during Ollie Czelusta’s tenure as mayor, Roulet was a major promoter of its construction, which was accomplished without the use of federal funds. In 1957, Roulet retired from political life and returned to operating his family’s jewelry business.
In addition to his political career, Roulet was active in several community organizations. He was a member of the Old Newsboys Goodfellow Association, the Toledo Zoological Society, Toledo Museum of Art, Elks, Lions Club, and the Downtown Coaches Club, among several others. He also served on the board of the YMCA. He was an active member of the Masons for 65 years, which earned him the nickname “Mr. Toledo Mason.”
Lloyd Roulet died on February 6, 1985. At the time of his death, he had the distinction of being Toledo’s longest-lived mayor.
Scope and Content Note
Interoffice files from Lloyd Roulet’s term of office consist primarily of correspondence regarding departments and divisions as noted in the box folder list. There are, however, a few notable exceptions.
City Council files, for example, include materials gathered and created by the Committee for Investigation of Charges made by Fred C. Young, then a councilman. Included is a report on disputed right-of-way purchases made by the City of Toledo. This report was prepared by Arnold V. Finch, then City Manager.
Finance Department files include correspondence, summaries, and reports for 1951 and 1952. Board of Health monthly reports date from 1952 to 1953.
Materials from the Department of Public Safety include correspondence with the director of Public Safety, constituent correspondence to the Inspection and Police divisions, and materials on parking, safety measures, speeding and police conduct from the Traffic division. One file also contains materials on a department store strike, including correspondence regarding activities at Lasalle’s department store.
Files from the Department of Public Service include correspondence to and from the various divisions, reports, and resolutions. One notable file on the Port Commission contains an article titled “The Administration of a Port Authority” by Austin J. Tobin.
Welfare Department files include correspondence and reports on a proposal for a conservancy ordinance and a resolution regarding park fees.
The body of interoffice files from 1953 is considerably smaller than that of 1952. There are, however, many significant items in these files. Finance department files include a copy of the state auditor’s report, general summaries and reports, and an article titled “Nature over Art: No More Local Finance,” by Rowland Egger. Department of Public Safety files include reports and correspondence regarding the murder of Jung Fook Yee (October 1953), parking, garbage pickup, and the appropriation of property by the Toledo / Lucas County Planning Commission, as well as the financing of the Toledo Municipal Airport.

RECORD GROUP IV: JOHN YAGER (1957-1959)
Biographical Sketch
John W. Yager was born in Toledo, Ohio on September 15, 1920. He attended Longfellow Elementary School and DeVilbiss High School as a youth. In 1942, Yager received a B.A. from the University of Michigan, then joined the Marines and served in the South Pacific during World War II. Upon his return to the United States, Yager resumed his education, earning his LL.D. from the University of Michigan in 1948. He worked in his father’s law firm for a few years before rejoining the Marines during the Korean Conflict, where he was awarded the Bronze Star for his “outstanding administrative work.” Yager is the only Toledo mayor to serve in two wars.
Upon his discharge in 1952, Yager was employed as a general counsel for the Toledo Legal Aid Society. He served in this capacity for 18 months before returning to his father’s law firm in 1953. The elder Yager was an avid supporter of the city manager form of municipal government, and served as the first president of the City Manager League of Toledo. In 1954, John Yager became the chairman of a citizen’s committee for a levy to finance the Lucas County Children’s Home, and later gained a seat on city council on his first attempt in 1955. He served as the chairman of the Metropolitan Planning Committee during his term as councilman. In 1957, he was elected mayor, defeating incumbent Ollie Czelusta during the reorganization of city council. One of his more significant accomplishments as mayor was the re-establishment of the Committee on Relations with Toledo, Spain, which had flourished prior to the Spanish Civil War. Yager was elected chairman of the Committee in 1966. As chairman, he was responsible for raising funds for the Russell G.C. Brown Memorial Scholarship, which would allow a student from Toledo, Spain to study at the University of Toledo for one year. He served as chairman until 1971. From 1971-1986, he served on the Board of Park Commissioners of the Toledo Metroparks and was the Board’s president from 1973-1986.
John Yager died on January 31, 2000.

RECORD GROUP V: MICHAEL DAMAS (1959-1961)
Biographical Sketch
Michael (Joseph) Damas was born in Toledo, Ohio on 8 November 1913 to Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Damas, Lebanese immigrants. The youngest of seven children, Damas grew up in a section of North Toledo known as “Little Syria,” where he delivered papers. Along with Amos Jacobs – the future Danny Thomas – he also sold candy at the Empire Theatre downtown. He attended Lagrange Elementary and Waite High School, and eventually moved on the University of Toledo, but left college to work for the Electric Auto-Lite Co.
Damas first ran for city council in 1939, and was defeated. He attempted a second run in 1945 while serving in Italy during World War II, but was once again unsuccessful. Shortly after his return to the United States, Damas married Rose Ann Farris and was also employed as the business administrator of Willys-Overland’s Diagnostic Clinic, established by the CIO (his strong union ties are documented in the collection through the publications he received). Although initially unsuccessful at winning a seat on city council, he had more success at the state level, being elected to the Ohio House of Representatives in 1948. He was re-elected in 1950, lost another bid for council in 1951, and won a third term in the Ohio House in 1952. He was elected to council in 1953. Six years later, he was elected mayor, becoming the first Arab-American mayor of a large city. As mayor, he was an advocate for the establishment of a medical college in Toledo. He appointed members of the Toledo Medical School Study Committee and later became a charter member of the Medical College of Ohio Foundation. In 1971, he was appointed to the MCO board of trustees for one term, and was eventually awarded an honorary doctorate from the College.
In 1981, Damas was elected to the Toledo school board, and became board president the following year. In 1989, he lost his bid for a third term on the board and subsequently ended his political career, 50 years after he first ran for office.
Damas traveled extensively as a young adult, both for leisure and while serving in the military. He took an extended trip to Sao Paulo, Brazil to visit an uncle and served three and a half years in the African-Italian theater during World War II. Damas took advantage of military leave time to visit Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Jericho, and the Dead Sea shrines, as well as Egypt and Syria.
Michael Damas died on April 13, 2003.
Scope and Content Note

Subject files refer to materials not related to a particular city department and include correspondence, invitations, legislation, and proclamations, among several other subjects. Materials within the collection are arranged alphabetically as well as chronologically where there are multiple folders pertaining to the same subject.

RECORD GROUP VI: JOHN POTTER (1961-1967)
Biographical/Historical Sketch
John W. Potter was born in Toledo on October 25, 1918, to Mary and Charles Potter. The Potter family moved to Toledo from England and resided at 854 Ogden Street. Charles was a locomotive engineer for New York Central Railroad System. John attended Robinson Junior Elementary School and was a member of the class of 1936 at Libbey High School. He graduated cum laude from the University of Toledo with a B.A. in Political Science in 1940. After receiving his bachelor’s degree, he went on to attend the University of Michigan Law School.
During World War II, he served in the Field Artillery branch of the Army and was awarded the Bronze Star for his service. Upon his return to the United States, he completed his law degree. On March 7, 1951, he joined the law firm of Zachman, Boxell, Bebout, and Torbet, and began his political career when he became a precinct committeeman in a West Toledo ward before becoming a councilman. In 1961, he was elected the 46th mayor of Toledo, and was re-elected in 1963. Beginning in 1969, he was elected to the Sixth Ohio District Court of Appeals and won re-election in 1974. From 1971 to 1975, he served as presiding judge of the courts. In 1982, former President Ronald Reagan appointed Potter to the U.S. District Court. On August 1, 1992, he acquired senior status as a federal judge.
During Mayor Potter’s administration, the airport saw a great expansion of terminal services, and jet service began with the need for overseas flights. Toledo Express was established as a port of entry with Customs and Immigration facilities. There was an increase in development as Toledo entered the airfreight and cargo business. Annexations in the 1960s allowed the city to double its land size to more than 80 square miles, larger than any other major Ohio city except Columbus. By 1965, the city had annexed the land north to the Michigan state line.
Scope and Content Note
Mayor Potter’s interoffice files include materials from City Council, City Manager, the Airport Commission, the Commission for Community Development, the Finance Department, the Health Department, the Departments of Public Safety and Public Services, and the municipal Welfare Department. The City Council records include the Lucas County Plan Commission Staff Reports, the Annual City Auditor’s financial reports, and the Commission for Community Development. Files from the Department of Public Service include reports from the Division of Engineering and Construction, with Annual Reports on the annexation of land to the city. The Welfare Department files contain annual reports and reports of federal cutbacks.
The collection covers 1961 to 1967 – three mayoral terms – and is divided into five different series. Series 1: Department of Public Service includes correspondence, budget, and committee reports. Series 2: Office Files, the largest series, contains correspondence and other documents concerning various city issues, projects, and improvements. Series 3: Toledo-Lucas County Plan Commission addresses the issues of rapid annexation, transportation, and employment in the city. Series 4: Toledo City Journal includes the publication that recorded weekly city council activities for public record. Series 5: Speeches and Other Miscellaneous Materials includes addresses to city council and other organizations, as well as dedications and such events as commencements and the groundbreaking of the Fiberglas Tower.

RECORD GROUP VII: WILLIAM ENSIGN (1963-1971)
Biographical Sketch
William J. Ensign was born on June 21, 1924 in Cleveland, Ohio. In 1940, he graduated from East High School. Two years later, he joined the United States Marine Corps, serving in the 3rd Division and 3rd Amphibious Corps while stationed in China and Guam. In 1946, he was released from the Marines and attended Eastern Illinois State University. He later attended the University of Notre Dame, earning a Bachelor’s degree in Criminology and a master’s degree in Correctional Administration. He moved to Toledo in 1951, taking a job as a probation officer. He served in this capacity for nine years before becoming First Administrator of the Ohio Pardon and Parole Commission in Columbus. From 1963 to 1967, he was head of the Lucas County Welfare Department. In 1967, he was elected mayor of Toledo, defeating incumbent John Potter, who had held the office since 1961. He ran for re-election in 1969 and won by a landslide.
While in office, Ensign displayed a strong commitment to the community as a whole, and felt the need to communicate closely with Toledo’s citizens. To interact with his constituents, Ensign spoke every week on WCWA’s FM 104.7 “Ask the Mayor” radio show. Some of the important programs he supported during his term of office included the Model City Program, for which Toledo was chosen as one of only sixty-three cities across the U.S.; recreation, which included the addition of many community swimming pools, parks and the Ottawa Park Ice Rink; and neighborhood improvement through the Neighborhood Development Program. Legislative issues being considered while Ensign held the mayoral office concerned West Toledo storm sewers, jaywalking, burlesque, gun control, and pollution. However, his last few months in office were marked by financial troubles, including threatened layoffs of city workers. He resigned in 1971 after being named as director of the Ohio Youth Commission. In 1974, he transferred to the Ohio Department of Administrative Services. The following year, he served as Director of the Criminal Justice program at Ohio Dominican University, where he remained for the next 30 years.
William Ensign died August 8, 2011.
Scope and Content Note
The material in this collection consists primarily of the files from various city departments, institutions, and programs that Ensign oversaw during his time in office. There are proposed zoning change reports, constituent correspondence, computer printouts from Toledo Police Divisions, annual reports, model city plans, various legislation documents, and telegrams. Many of the topics coincide from box to box, but represent different years. The arrangement of the folder list places all topics alphabetically, although files may appear in different boxes.

RECORD GROUP VIII: HARRY KESSLER (1963-1975)
Biographical Sketch
A Toledo native, Harry W. Kessler was a Democratic politician who served as Toledo mayor from 1971 until 1977. He was born on August 15, 1927 to Harry and Mabel Kessler. After attending Greenbrier Military School in Louisburg, West Virginia between 1941 and 1945, he served in the U.S. Navy until 1947. It was also at this time that Kessler attended Ohio State University. He married Mary Lou Via on April 5, 1947 and together they had four children. In 1962, he attended the University of Toledo, continuing his studies in history and political science. In 1965, Kessler became a certified real estate agent, as well as helped with his father’s harbor supply company.
Kessler’s political career began as a Toledo city councilman in 1965. In 1969, the Council elected him as vice mayor, and when mayor William Ensign resigned in 1971, Kessler took over the post, and was re-elected for three consecutive two-year terms. In addition to his position as Toledo mayor, Harry Kessler served as chairman on a variety of committees, including TMACOG, Criminal Justice Planning Council of Northwestern Ohio, Community Planning Council, Channel 30, Regional Planning Unit, Federal Affairs of Ohio Municipal league, and U.S. Conference of Mayors. His notable contributions as mayor were the founding of the Citizen Committee for Effective Government and the initiation of plans to revitalize downtown Toledo.
Harry Kessler died in 2007.

RECORD GROUP IX: DOUGLAS DeGOOD (1977-1982)
Biographical Sketch
Douglas DeGood was born on May 4, 1947. A native of Tiffin, Ohio, he moved to Toledo in 1956, where he graduated from Whitmer High School and the University of Toledo. He was program developer for the YMCA and also served on the county Board of Education. He first ran for city council in 1973, finishing in 11th place. Two years later, he was elected to council in a 5-2 vote. When he was elected mayor in 1977 at age 30, he was the youngest big-city mayor in the nation.
DeGood’s three terms included some of the darkest and brightest chapters in Toledo history. Anemic city finances in the late 1970s led to labor problems, culminating in a strike of police and firefighters on July 1, 1979. The walkout resulted in 2 days of chaos: a TARTA bus driver was killed, another driver was robbed, and fires raged throughout the city. The mayhem was so great in some parts of the city that DeGood collapsed from stress and spent 24 hours in the hospital. Ultimately, an agreement was reached with city labor unions. In 1981, a 0.5 percent increase in the city income tax was rejected by voters, leading to layoffs of police and firemen and cutbacks in municipal services. However, voters approved a 0.75 percent increase in the tax in June of 1982, following a campaign led by the mayor.
During his term, the riverfront SeaGate complex was built and the Portside Festival Marketplace was started -- both cornerstones of Toledo’s downtown development efforts. He was the first mayor to use the new $61 million Government Center -- a city-county-state office building. In June 1983, after his endorsement by local Democrats, DeGood decided not to seek a fourth term, saying he lacked the drive for another campaign.
Scope and Content Note
The material in this collection consists mostly of files for the various city departments, institutions and programs that DeGood oversaw during his time in office. There are also subject files regarding industrial promotion, labor relations, police, Rivereast, correspondence, requisitions, and travel. The topics are arranged in alphabetical order. DeGood’s papers consist of numerous files: various boards, community development, urban renewal, travel, pollution, labor relations and other areas of service in the City of Toledo. The topics themselves are arranged chronologically within each folder.

RECORD GROUP X: ROBERT SAVAGE (1967-1969)
Biographical Sketch
Robert C. Savage was born in Toledo, Ohio on December 25, 1937. He graduated from Central Catholic High School in 1955 and attended the University of Toledo, where he earned a B.B.A in Finance and Insurance. In 1959, he co-founded Savage & Associates, a financial planning and insurance firm, with his brother, the late John F. Savage.
Robert Savage has a long history of leadership. He began his political career at the University of Toledo by serving as president of seven campus organizations. He supported the Democratic Party as Director of Lucas County Young Democrats and later as a member of the Lucas County Democratic Party. He was nominated as both Toledo’s Outstanding Young Man Award in 1964 and National Outstanding Young Man Award in 1965 before being awarded the title for Toledo’s Outstanding Young Man in 1965. He became the youngest man ever to hold an elected office when he became a member of city council in 1963 at age twenty-five. He was re-elected to council in 1965 and 1967. It was also in 1965 that he was awarded the Pacemaker of the Year Award by the UT College of Business. In 1968, he was voted into the office on the Democratic ticket for the position of vice-mayor, which he held for one term.
