Police Court
1949 Fines
Hit New High
Fines paid into the East Cleve
land Police Department in 1949
reached the highest ever received
by the department for infraction of
the city’s Traffic Code and dis
respect for its ordinances cover
ing felonies, and misdemeanors.
The total is $49,157.05.
The sum was “pooled” by 3,178
violators, exclusive of parking
ticket violations which totaled
8,615 for the year.
In 1948 the sum was $47,954.39
for 2,999 violations, exclusive of
parking ticket listings. In 1943
these figures hit the bottom of
the curve with $6,188.79 for 1,737
violations, with fluctuating curves
until 1945 when a steady upturn
started.
Under the traffic code violations
arrests for speeding topped the
list with 583, crashing a red light
brought in 525 drivers while failure
to observe boulevard STOP signs
added another 493 names. Two hun
dred twenty-two drivers disregard
ed officer’s signals and 182 driv
ers drove trucks on streets closed
to this classification.
Thirty-two drivers found them
selves paying $200 fines and spend
ing 48 hours in the city’s modern,
but even so, jail for driving intoxi
cated. This is the fine which Judge
Stanton Addams of the city’s court
imposes on all alike under this
charge. Plain cases of intoxication
number 258, and 32 charges of
driving while intoxicated were filed.
Drivers found operating cars
minus an acompanying license
number 115.
In the other traffic categories
the number of violators in each
instance was small.
But two non-support cases and
one case of contributing to the
delinquency of a minor are noted.
Other than felonies, 147 Juvenile
cases were handled and 15 juveniles
were arrested for felonies. These

Hank Greenberg
Exchange Speaker
I
With spring training less than
a month away, and with every
one wondering just what the
Indians are going to do this sea
son, whatever Hank Greenberg
has to say on the subject is real
news. Greenberg, vice president
and general manager of the Cleve
land Indians will discuss the
team and its prospects at the Tues
day, February 14th meeting of
the East Cleveland Exchange Club.
This will be a guest day with
city officials and other disting
uised visitors and friends of the
members as guests. Baseball is
real topic for Clevelanders.
The famous ball player will be
introduced by Dr. Richard Wat
kins, who haa arranged for his
appearance here.
Newest member of the Exchange
Club is Charles A. Barney, busi
ness manager of the Cleveland
Hearing and Speech Center.
President Kenneth Bolmeyer
demonstrated his ability as a
speaker when he brought a num
ber of objects and used them in
a talk on lighting, at a recent
meeting. The items later were
given as gifts among the members.
The East Cleveland Library is

figure of a half-grown Maltese
kitten, gray with bluish markings.
His little curlcd-up body measures
about six inches in diameter. He
has large, alert ears which make
him look very much alive. His
relaxed and happy presence
creates an atmosphere of peace
and contentment.

Zoning Board To
Hear Appeal Monday
Purchase by the Stratton Motors
Inc. 15001 Euclid ave., of the 100
foot frontage board of education
lot west of and abutting their own
location, is contingent upon the ac
tion of the East Cleveland Zoning
Board of Appeals, it is indicated
today.
When the motor sales agency
purchased the east section of this
parcel, the city had established the
retail business zone for the prop
erty at a depth of 226 feet. Mr.
Robert Stratton, president of the
company, appealing to have this ex
tended by 80 feet, and also to have,
the zoning of the proposed addi
tional ground extended to conform
to the new depth of 285 feet.
The rear of the lot, which extends
north to Eldertvood ave., is zoned
for commercial us®. it is unoc
cupied.
The appeal will be heard by the
Zoning Board of Appeals Monday,
February 13th at 9 a.m. in the
commission chamber of City Hall.
Expansion of the business is
finding the motor sales agency
cramped for space in which to park
incoming new cars, cars being serv

of the Library are particularly

died last fall.
It is thought that a little boy
or girl who loved the kitten too
well took him home one day. The
Library hopes that if some mother
runs across this little unfamiliar
porcelain figure among her child’s
treasures she will recognize it
as the Library’s cat and return
it to be enjoyed by many qliikkeu,
instead of only one child.

City Has 166
Fires In 1949
Renort Shows
Speeding along the streets, siren
sounding, off for a fire, is not the
only responsibility of today’s fire
departments. Equally important to
extinguishing fires is the work of
preventing them.
Working on this principle, the
East Cleveland Fire Department
in 1949 made 6,705 inspections,
checking fire hazards in public
buildings, industrial plants and
places of business. Private home
inspections are by request. Chief
Fred A. Steffens says it is the old
theory of an ounce of prevention.
The 6,705 inspections revealed
612 definite violations, a reason
able period being granted for cor
rections.
In his 1949 report, filed with City
Manager Chas. A. Carran, Chief
Steffens, notes that the department
responded to 305 alarms of which
166 proved to be “working” fires.
The 166 fires brought building and
content loss of $1G,255 for the
year against $12,660 in 1948, the
lowest for a six year period up to
that time.
Value of buildings and contents
visited by fire were placed at
$2,492,072. In Insurance coverage
was $2,308,845 and the claims paid
amounted to $14,365. The city
enjoys a low per capita fire loss
of 36 cents as against the over
all loss in the country for 1949
of $4.40.
Apparatus of tne city’s two fire
stations, Ko. 1 on Marloes and
No. 2 on Shaw ave., traveled 1,606
miles during the year. It is re
ported to be in good condition.
In addition to the 166 actual
fire runs, there were eight false
alarms, 10 outside city runs, 13
unnecessary runs and 83 emergency
calls. Emergency calls often bring
queer requests as the report re
veals. The fire laddies came to the
rescue of a child locked in a bath
room, of a child who had swallowed
a coin, and of a child who caught
his foot in drain. They helped 17
persons locked out of their own
kAies and made resusitator
caii2.'
Both engine houses came in for
a new look during the year with
asphalt tile flooring in locker
and lounge rooms, Station No. 2
also received a rubber tiled kitchen
floor and Station No. 1, new lino
leum on the stairway.
Salaries for the department em
ployees in 1949 totaled $120,961.37
compared to the $119,717 salary
bill in 1948. The “up” was due to
salary increases.
All members of the department
took the advanced Red Cross first
aid 30-hour course.
But one recommendation is being
made by Chief Steffens. He would
like to have the four existing
vacancies filled. It is reported, on
this score, that the examinations
have been given and only a few
details remain to list the success
ful applicants. It is expected to
make appointments in the near
future, it is stated.
Firemen are splendid house
keepers. All equipment is scrubbed
and polished upon returning from
a fire, and everything is put into
Al condition at once, ready for the
next alarm. Stations kitchens are
immaculate at all times.

Forest Hill Home Owners
Band Together To Guard
Thsir Common Interests
To maintain the original char

Rockefeller-ownei’ home develop
ment in East Cleveland and Cleve
land Heights, home owners of the
two suburbs have banded together
under the Forest Hill Home Own
ers Association, the membership
representing 90 per cent of the
property owners in that develop
ment.
Seven East Clevelanders are
among the 18 members of the ex
ecutive committee which is chair
maned by C. VV. Meyers. 3258 Rum

include A. W. Benjamin, 15409

der. rd.
George A. Rouse, owner of the
development expresses himself as
pleased with the forming of the
association which he hopes, will
be able to assist in solving a num
ber of problems which lie before
them.
“We have the same objective,
to maintain the character of the
original plans” said Mr. Rouse,
“and. by working together we
should be able to keep this objec
tive and still keep step with mod
ern building trends.”
One of these problems, explained
Mr. Rouse Is the overcoming of
the transition in building from the
old French Normandy type of homo
in the older section of the develop
ment, to the modern type of h&mes,
favored by builders today.
The development, probably the
largest one of its type and the only
one of its classification on the east
side, was purchased by Rouse for
approximately $1,000,000 in 1948.
During the last 12 months more
than 50 homes, ranging in price
from $22,500 to $50,000 have been
built and as many more are to be
erected this year.
Under this rate of construction,
states Rouse, the entire develop
ment will be sold in the next three
years.
One of the plans in mind when
Rouse bought the development was
to erect garden type apartments
facing Lee rd. Objections raised by
the property owners at that time
caused abandonment of this plan.
It was this turn of affairs ■which,
prompted the forming of the as
sociation by the homeowners.
One of the plans of the new
group is to have representatives
attend meetings of the East Cleve
land City Commission and the
Cleveland Heights Council and to
keep in touch with the Zoning
hoards in both tiLtuh-, wht-u
I peals affecting them directly, er
indirectly come before the boards.
President Meyers state® that
through co-operation all issues can
be carefully considered and sound
decisions arrived at, for the mutual
benefit of home owner and develop
ment owner.

Residents Up In Arms
eet Signs Go Up
ment correct. Strange as it may
seem, the new sign erected Monday
by the city’s service department
at the south intersection of Euclid
and Wymore ave. is spelled "Wey
more.”
South Wymore residents are up
in arms. Phones are ringing all
along the street from home to home
and to City Hall .. and to the
office of the town’s newspaper.
The LEADER.
After hours of research, includ
ing trips to the county courthousa
to dig back into dusty old records,
Joseph Henry of the Service De
partment gives this explanation
for the spelling on the new sign:
In the original plat, the spelling
on the south end of the avenue was
"Weymore.” However, when ths
Acceptance Ordinance was written
in 1873 the spelling was “Wymore”
—but the plat spelling was not
changed to conform. The county
map, following the Acceptance Or
dinance, designated the street “Wy.
more."
The **Weymore” sign is doomed
to discard Thursday—today. New
signs are ordered. So be patient,
South Wymoreites. Y’ou’ll soon be
seeing the old familiar “Wymore”
again on you corner street sign.
Class dismissed.
