Description	An original political cartoon drawing created by Jack Knox (1910-1985), the Nashville Banner editorial cartoonist from the mid-1940s to early 1970s. This caricature relates to the city and county governments' finding a practical solution in establishing a consolidated Metro government. It shows a man ("Greater Nashville") standing with each foot in separate rowboats ("City Gov't" and "County Gov't"). As he tries to row, he aims toward a single rowboat ("One Gov't"). In 1963, Beverly Briley was elected the first mayor of the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County, and he served in that capacity from 1963 to 1975. Forms part of the Jack Knox Political Cartoon Collection. 1 original cartoon drawing : b & w ; 12.5 x 20 in.
