	From 1920 to 1925, Carr served as Dubuque's first city manager.

(5) In an article of the ''Telegraph Herald'' dated June 1, 1920 the writer commented that a budget system was being considered for Dubuque. Whether it would become permanent was something Mr. Carr would not state. He did comment:

	In 1939 Carr co-founded Insurance Securities Incorporation Trust Fund of San Francisco. The Carr Hall of Science at Pennsylvania's Allegheny College was built in part with a $500,000 donation made by Carr and his wife in 1964. There is an Ossian E. Carr branch of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Oakland. (7)		In many instances, the budget system, properly handled, is the
			salvation of cities swamped in debt. If a certain amount is
			appropriated and those in charge are not permitted to expend
			more than their allotment, the budget is practical. If they
			spend regardless of the amount in the budget, it is no better
			than the old manner. (6)

			In 1925 he accepted an offer to be the manager of Fort Worth, Texas at a salary of $13,500 which was an increase of $3,900 from what he was earning in Dubuque. (7)
