Congratulations to Shaw and

During the heavy snows and
icy days, East Cleveland street
department and police again
did a big job well in keeping
lanes open and traffic mov

a new scoop for snow loading,
just ordered by the city, will
give further zip to a stiff win

Board of Directors include:
Walter Koenig Jim Bateman
Dr. O. J. Korb Stan Webster:
and l|r. William Morris. Chuck
Thompson was selected to suc
ceed Tom King as the Umpire
in-Chief.
The treasurer’s report re
vealed that the ECLLI will open
the 1958 season with a balance
on hand of $2,582.00 which will
be further augmented this year
by the Tag Day and Amateur
Day Program which have been
so successful in the past. Dr.
Morris has consented to assume
the responsibility of the Tag
Day drive while Chuck Thom
son will again handle the
Amateur Day arrangements.
Mr. Wisecup recommended
that the East Cleveland Little
League Inc. program be oper
ated in the same manner it ha?
for the past five seasons and
his recommendation was unani
mously accepted by the group.
Therefore, there will again be
eight teams in the Little League
(age 10-12) six teams in the
Pony League (age 13-14) and
four teams in the Colt League
(age 15-17». The boys who are
not placed on a Little League
roster will be able to play in
the Minor League which will
again consist of eight teams.
The same local merchants and
civic groups will sponsor teams
in the four leagues and most
of the managers and coaches
will be back to offer their valu
able services to the boys. It
looks like another banner year
for the ECLLI, the sixth since
it was organized in 1952. Ap

will be distributed at the schools

Geerer Retires
After 35 Years
With Ohio Bell
After having spent over 35
years in its Plant and Com

Geerer is retiring from the
service of the Ohio Bell Tele

28th.
On Wednesday, February 26th
at a luncheon in his honor at
the Statler Hotel. Mr. Geerer
was presented with a diamond
service pin.
For the last ten years, Mr.
Geerer has been the “Official
service engineer for the Tele
phone Company itself, being
responsible for all of their com
munication requirements from
Berea to Ashtabula. Since 1944,
the communication requirements
for the City of East Cleveland
have been under his direction.
Unlike many persons who re
tire, Mr. Geerer plans to remain
an East Clevelander, and con
tinue to enjoy the friendships
and the associations that he has
won during his many years
here, and they are legion.
Along with Tiis responsibili

has found time for a splendid
community service. He is a past
president of the East Cleveland

Skating?
That's A
Big "If
“When do wa 'skate on the
city’s new rink on Shaw ave.?”
This is the $64 question
which the public and the city
officials have been asking for
far too many weeks.
Here is the answer. IF—and
that is a big IF—the tests now
being made by the City Engi
neer and City Water Depart
ment prove the freezing equip
ment minus any bugs, and the
miles of plastic pipe in the sal
ine system minus any leAks, the
Skating sign could go up even
this weekend.
The announcement of skating
would then be made through
the schools.
But, should the tests drag
along, with this to be done and
that to be done, the time re
maining for the close of a nor
mal ice season March 1-15,
might be so brief a period that
the city would have to defer all
rink use until fall.
These are the cold facts
about the city’s rink as of the
Leader’s deadline. Tuesday,
February’ 25th. It is suggested
that the question be now placed
on ice, until some definite word
comes from the testing crews.
Commenting on the situation,
City Manager Chas. A. Carran
expressed the regret of the city
officials for the ice rink situ
ation. He explained that de
lays among the contractors
during construction, and delays
in receipt of equipment and
machinery have been beyond
their control.

Regulation
East Cleveland’s private
swimming pool ordinance is to
be tested in the courts.
In a suit filed Tuesday, Feb
ruary 26th, Joseph Sawyer.
15710 Oakhill rd., contends that
the city’s private swimming pool
ordinance illegally restricts the
use of his property and in so
doing also violates the Con
stitution of the State of Ohio.
Mr. Sawyer also contends that
following the filing of his re
quest for a pool permit, the city
further restricted private pools
by amending its original ordin
ance under which he could have
had a pool. He cites two of
these amendments to require a
50-foot property line and a 150
foot distance from another
dwelling, both of which, he says,
practically eliminate private
pools in the city.
The Zoning Board of Appeals
rejected his appeal and the City
Commission sustained the re

East Cleveland automobile
drivers are being reminded by
Finance Director G. T. Ap
thorp of the staggering loss to
the city of about $11,000 in
each of the past two years. The
reason, he points out. is the im
proper filling in of their li
cense plate application blanks,
which in turn react on a cut
in the city’s share of gasoline
taxes.
Mr. Apthorp explains, as fol
lows:
“During the month of March,
thousands of East Clevelanders
will be registering their auto
mobiles as they apply for 1958
license plates. For each vehicle
registered from East Cleve
land, approximately $11.00 will
come into the City treasury
from state-shared gasoline taxes
and auto license fees. For each
East Cleveland vehicle incor
rectly listed as being in an
other taxing district, the city
loses this $11.00. It is esti
mated that this very thing
happened

“There
cense plate application which
asks for “Taxing District.” If
you reside in the City of East
Cleveland at the time you make
your application, be sure to
use your correct East Cleve
land address and above all
make sure you list “EAST
Cleveland” as your taxing dis
trict.
“Why should you he so care
ful in listing East Cleveland
“Because you eventually may
be paying increased taxes or
rents to make up for money
which rightfully and legally
would be received by East
Cleveland. Fifteen percent of
the five cent State tax which
you pay on each gallon of
gasoline and about thirty-four
percent of the $10.00 you pay
for your license plate is re
turned by the State to the
collective municipalities. The
larger proportion of vehicles
a community has, the larger
its share of tax money.
“What is this tax money used
for? State law specifies that it
be used for highway and street
purposes. Here in East Cleve
land the money pays for the
plowing and salting of streets
during the winter. Recent
weather conditions show how
important these activities are
to safe, uncongested driving.
“These funds also pay for the

signs, signals, and painted
lines showing lanes and turns
is another highway use to
which this money goes. The
balance is used for street
cleaning and for various other
repairs, construction and main
tenance of East Cleveland
streets.
“To keep these vital services
at a high level requires a con
