Jones (1846-1904), a manufacturer of oil machinery, was elected See also:mayor by the Republican party ; he was re-elected on a non-See also:partisan See also:ticket in 1899, 1901 and 1903, and introduced business methods into the city See also:government. His honesty and sincerity inbusiness and politics 'gained him the See also:nickname "See also:Golden See also:Rule" Jones. The See also:independent See also:movement which he started was carried on under See also:Brand Whitlock (b. 1869), a lawyer and writer who was mayor of Toledo in 1906-1911. The city See also:council has 16 members, three elected at large and the others by wards, and there are boards of public service, public safety, public See also:health and See also:education.
The site of Toledo lies within an immense See also:tract of See also:land, constituting sixteen reservations, acquired by the See also:United States government from several See also:Indian tribes in 1795, and a stockade fort, called Fort Industry, was built here about 1800. In 1817 two companies bought from the government a portion of the tract, at the mouth of See also:Swan See also:Creek, including most of the land now occupied by Toledo. Upon the tract farthest up-stream the See also:town of Port See also:- LAWRENCE

Lawrence was laid out (in 1817). In 1832 a See also:rival company laid out the town of See also:Vistula on the tract immediately below Port Lawrence, in the following See also:year these towns were united and were named Toledo, and in 1837 the city was incorporated. The " Toledo See also:War " was a dispute over the boundary between Ohio and Michigan. When Ohio Territory was organized in 1800 its See also:northern boundary was described as a line See also:drawn from the southern extremity of Lake Michigan due See also:east to the Pennsylvania line, and the See also:official See also:map of the See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time placed the southern end of Lake Michigan at 42° 20' N. See also:lat. The state constitution adopted in 1802 followed the enabling See also:act in accepting this line, but made the proviso that if it should not intersect Lake Erie east of the mouth of the Miami river, then the northern boundary should be a line from the southern end of Lake Michigan to the most northern cape of Maumee Bay and thence to the Territorial line, and to the Pennsylvania line. In 18o5 the Territory of Michigan was organized with a southern boundary in accordance with the line extending due east from the southern end of Lake Michigan; and therefore there was in dispute a See also:strip of land, about 5 M. wide at its western end and about 8 m. wide at its eastern end, a See also:rich agricultural region, stretching, across portions of what are now Lucas, See also:Fulton and See also:Williams counties, and including all of what are now See also:Ashtabula and Lake counties, and portions of Geauga and Cuyahoga counties, in Ohio. Within the belt See also:lay what is now Toledo, and its great importance as a lake port was even then clearly recognized. On the 29th of See also:January 1818 the Ohio legislature accepted the " See also:Harris line " (surveyed in 1817 in accordance with the proviso of the state constitution) as the northern boundary of the state. Acting on the recommendation of See also:Governor See also:Robert Lucas (1781—1853), on the 23rd of 'See also:February 1835 the Ohio legislature passed an Act extending the northern boundaries of what were then See also:Wood, See also:- HENRY

Mason of Michigan ordered out a See also:division of Michigan See also:militia, which near the end of March entered and took See also:possession of Toledo. A division of Ohio militia marched to Perrysburg, on the Maumee river, about 10 m. See also:south of Toledo; but both militias disbanded when See also:Richard See also:Rush, of See also:Philadelphia, and See also:Benjamin C. See also:Howard, of See also:Baltimore, appeared at Toledo as See also:peace emissaries, appointed by See also:President See also:Jackson. In See also:April several members of the party accompanying the Ohio commissioners were arrested by Michigan militia. In See also:June the Ohio legislature created Lucas county, mostly from the disputed territory, and made Toledo its county-seat. President Jackson now urged Michigan to discontinue interfering with the re-marking of the Harris line, and requested Ohio to postpone putting into effect the Act of February 1835; but as See also:petty outbreaks continued throughout the summer and an Ohio See also:judge and court See also:officers at Toledo were arrested in See also:September, he peremptorily removed Governor Mason from See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office. In June 1836 See also:Congress decided the dispute in favour of Ohio, and in 1837 Michigan was admitted to the See also:Union as a state upon See also:condition of relinquishing all claim to the disputed territory, but received what is now known as the Upper See also:Peninsula (the land between Lakes Superior, Huron and Michigan).
