Following a trend in long-range
municipal financing, East Cleve
land voters will be asked to vote
a one-mill levy to build up a capital
improvement reserve fund. The
levy, estimated to return approxi
mately $60,000 a year would be
earmarked for this special pur
pose and could not be used for
any other purpose.
Once established, the levy would
be utilized only as improvements
to be made.
The proposal was presented to
the City Commission Tuesday
night and the Commission, agree
ing to it, will meet in recessed
session next Tuesday, February
28th, at 7:45 o’clock, to enact the
legislation necessary to get the
issue on the May Primary ballot.
Favoring the step, City Manager
Chas. A. Carran said it had been
the history of the city to issue
bonds whenever a capital outlay
of funds was to be made. Securing
the needed funds in this manner is
an expensive proposition, since it
involves the expense of an election,
interest and other incidentals to
the issuing, paying and carrying
of the bonds.
Referring to the light bond issue
In connection with the plan to
relight the entire city, which issue
will come before the electors at
the November election, Mr. Car
ran said that should the voters
approve the “pay-as-you-go” pro
gram at the May Primary, the
light bonds would still have to be
issued, since the earlier vote would
not become effective in time to
Street Sign Is
Hot Stuff For
Frat President
LAST CLEVELAND LlBHAKf
14101 EUCLID AVENUE
w EAST CLEVELAND. Q,
Re-
Hell Week for one Western
serve University fraternity got a
bit hotter than anticipated.
A $4.22 damage bill to a Dover
street sign ended up with a $100
fine, plus $6.00 in costs, for Donald
M. Kalish, 21, of 1593 Coventry rd.,
the fraternity president.
It all came about when Kalish,
unmindful of the fact that East
Cleveland will stand no foolishness
when it comes to municipal pro
perty,- ordered three frat pledges
to bring in a Dover street sign
as initiation week stuff.
The trio were in the act of re
moving the sign when East Cleve
land police spied them. Appearing
before Judge Stanton Addams on
charges of disorderly conduct, they
told their story.
“Can you produce the president”
Asked the court.
“Yes sir” replied the pledges—
and they did in the twinkling of
an eye for the president was among
the anxious fraternity brothers
who made up the audience.
Kalish found himself pleading
guilty to a bench warrant charge
of. disorderly conduct. He heard
himself fined $200 and costs and
given 30 days* confinement. The
court then reduced sentence to
$100 and costs, plus damages, and
demanded in addition a written,
promise from the fraternity that
it would henceforth leave East
Cleveland street signs out of its
Hell Week activities.
Church attendance is a continu
ing problem almost everywhere,
but an optimistic attitude was pre
sented last week to the Men’s Club
of the East Cleveland Congrega
tional Church by Rev. John R.
Scotford, whose position as edi
tor of ADVANCE, the Congrega
tional monthly magazine, brings
him in close touch with church ac
tivities all over the nation.
The basis of his optimism is in
a general interest such as the con
test sponsored recently by the East
Cleveland Kiwanis Club, the fact
that figures show an upward trend
wherever statistics have been gath
ered, and the increasing success of
religious work in large university
and college centers. Dr. Scotford
emphasized the values of corporate
worship, although he admitted that
some few people may find spiritual
satisfaction alone at home or out
of doors. He also stressed the
growing' use of color, light, and
music, both choral and congrega
tional, as valuable aids in bringing
people to church, even if they mean

Improvement Reserve Fund
Up To Voters At May Primary
Believing that a pay-as-you-go
policy for financing capital im

Commission will seak authority at

the lighting expenditure.
Finance Director G. T. Apthorp
said that there has been a growing
trend among municipalities to
establish a “pay-as-you-go” policy
for capital expenditures. The
method already applies here to the
general operating expenses of the
city.
Should East Cleveland adopt the
program, it would be the pioneer
ing city in this movement in Ohio.-
If adopted, it was explained, the
levy would make for the next
few years until a reserve capital
outlay fund of some quarter of a
million dollars wonld be set up.
This, it was stated, would be keep
ing with the city’s size and age
and needs.
It was pointed out that the time
is here when extensive re-installa
tions .repairs and additions must
be made to sewers, street surfacing
and other items to maintain
excellent services for which
suburb is noted.

a decreased emphasis on the ser
mon. Instead of attending to meet
one’s friends, or simply to keep
up to date, the church goer should
choose, even to self compulsion, to
find God and to express his need
for grace through participation in
a stated church service.
Too much preaching, too much
looking on, too awkward seating
arrangements, and too little use
of the fine arts were all mentioned
as deterrents in church attendance.
A sense of belonging, both in a
social and in a spiritual sense,
must be further cultivated in the
average church, in the fostering
of the feeling that marks a family

several possible projects for the

Miss Genevieve Quinn, director of
Welfare for East Cleveland, is get

the department. It is the channel

work to persons desiring part time
workers. Serveral of the 18 place
ments that have been made come
from the relief rolls, older persons
still able to do lighter work, and
preferring to keep busy as long
as possible. During the six months
in 1949, after the service was
started, 32 persons registered for
employment. There were any num
ber of cases where short time jobs
proved helpful to both parties con
cerned.
Right now the department has
the name and address of an older
man willing to keep walks clean,
or assist with furnace firing. In
the warmer months he would like
to help around a yard.
In her report for 1949, Miss
Quinn handled £6 welfare cases and
97 cases involving juveniles. She
also serves as policewoman, co

with the case at hand.

Supply In Schools

Mr. Speed said Tuesday that
there is one week’s supply of fuel

added heat is being offered in the
two buildings after school hours,

Outside gym classes continue as
usual, since extra heat is not pro
vided for them at any time.
Pupils and faculty at Shaw High
had an extra holiday Tuesdaj'. A
broken fan belt in the heating
unit as it enters the building from
the power house in the rear of
Prospect School across the way,
made it impossible to get the heat
past that point.
New parts were immediately
ordered and rushed in from South
Bend, Ind., and installation was
expected to be completed in time
for the resuming of classes today.
Wednesday was a holiday anyway,
because of Washington’s birthday
falling on that day.
Many apartment house owners
have been forced to use a cheaper
grade of coal in order to keep their
furnaces burning, it was reported.
