He also served as chairman of a statewide committee that drafted the first uniform traffic code for Ohio. In his private law practice, he was involved in several important litigations, including the Cleveland Clinic fire disaster of 1929, in which he represented the victim's families. The collection consists of six scrapbooks containing newspaper clippings and correspondence. Most of the clippings relate to litigation against the East Ohio Gas Company rate increases, a recall effort against Mayor Fred Kohler, and the resignation of Lamb and other cabinet officials. Also included are clippings regarding Lamb's private law cases, especially suits regarding the 1929 Cleveland Clinic disaster. | | | | Call #: | MS 4535 | | | | Extent: | 1.00 linear feet (1 container) | | | | Subjects: | Lamb, Judson Paul, 1885-1965. | Kohler, Fred, 1864-1934. | Cleveland (Ohio).
