Jt i v n I Mail Addresses Business: 814 East 152nd Street Phone: Glenville 1-4383 News: 14600 Euclid Avenue Apt. 302 Will Latest Apartment Development Lead To Similar Projects Here? Will the proposed construc tion of a high rising type of apartment building in East Cleveland prove the spark that will kindle the re-development of older sections of the city Will this new 13-story, 250 apartment, as modern as to morrow, be the encouragement needed by other investors to proceed with building here. These are among the ques tions that city officials are pon dering and, possibly on which, they are proceeding with the business of selling the last designated apartment site in Forest Hill Park. Legislation to this effect was enacted at the special meeting of the City Commission Tues day night when it authorized the sale to the Covenant Park Co. for $126,000. The building will cost an estimated $3& to $4 million. I Concerning the city’s posi tion relative to apartment sites in Forest Hill Park, G. T. Ap thorp, director of finance, ex plains that when John D. Rocke feller deeded the park to the city, he realized he was handing it a big obligation in the way of maintenance and develop ment, as well as one of the love liest of city parks. For this rea son he stipulated in the deed certain areas for apartment de velopment, with the idea that the proceeds from such sales would bolster the city’s Park Fund. i N THAT I In East Cleveland Imagine the disappointment for Shaw’s cross country run ners. All set to enter the state meet at Columbus Saturday, the team learned Wednesday a. m. that, due to a misunderstanding, the team was out. Regulations send three top district teams to the state. Somebody thought it was four. Shaw came in fourth. Better luck next year, and con gratulations on your record for this season. Scoring 136 points in the district meet last Saturday, Shaw made fourth place in a field of 15 teams. The other three district winners are Euclid, John Adams and St. Joseph high schools. Shaw has 17 runners on its team and all of them have been in ten meets. If you haven’t squared your self with United Appeal, please do so PDQ. Most of us have so many blessings. Ever hear of the widow’s mite? Probably they had used all their patience. Anyway, some 30 boys playing on the new Kirk k. football field were warned and sent on their way, when found there last Saturday. The field is not yet in condi 4 tion for even being walked up on. When ready, it will prove quite an addition to the sports program at the Junior High. Every landscaping job, large or small, adds its beauty to our city. News of these welcome 1 beautifications is completion of the landscaping at St. James Lutheran Church whose new sanctuary is one of the better ments for the Hayden ave. sec tion. This landscaping, it is stat ed, is a gift to the congrega tion from Eugene Herman fam ily. Certainly a lovely one. Parking is a continuing prob lem, but judging from observ ances and two phone calls re ceived this week, it could be that drivers often cause prob lems for fellow drivers. One call reports a merchant who parks a personal car in front of a neigh bor’s place of business, creating a parking problem for the lat ter’s customers. The other call concerns a mo torist who parks his car direct ly in front of an entrance where a paved section connects curb and walk for the convenience of the many people who are being dropped off or picked up at this busy spot. This is a parking carelessness often noted, espe cially in front of apartment buildings. On a rainy day re cently a taxi driver said his lit tie speech about this kind of •parking. All that is needed, is a little consideration for the oth er fellow. I &, Mr. Rockefeller designed four sites for apartment use only. Three of these are on the east side of Superior rd., south of Terrace rd. All three have been sold, but one of the three is as yet undeveloped. The fourth one is the Terrace rd. site now being sold. That development will pro ceed within a reasonable length of the time, the city ordinance for the sale, gives an 18-month period in which to start proceed, ings. At the end of that time, if no progress has been made, the site reverts to the city and the purchaser must also pay $15,000 to the city. Thene areas, under the deed, could not be used for any other purpose, except park or apart ment. Sale of the site and its de velopment, explains Mr. Ap thorp, will provide a taxing base of about $2,000,000 annually, returning an estimated $60,000 a year in real estate taxes to be shared by the municipality and the East Cleveland Board of Ed ucation. In addition, both taxing dis tricts will share in the revenues from intangible and other taxes that an added 250 families will mean to the community. From still another viewpoint, the addition of this number of residents most of whom will use some of the city’s retail out lets, should boost business gen erally. The construction to be FHA financed, will offer three types of suites, efficiency, one bed room, and two bedroom. There will be both indoor and outdoor parking. 3rd-6th Graders Invited To "Y" On Hallowe'en Boys and girls in the third through sixth grades in the city’s elementary schools are in vited to a Hallow’en party at the Y House, 1831 Lee blvd., Friday, October 31st from 7 to 9 o’clock.

The appeal of John Oppal, owner of premises at 1861 Bel more ave., to rent the second floor of a garage at the rear of his dwelling, was rejected. This was about the third time this request has come before the hoard. the Rejection is based on the city’s policy to discourage gar age building company, as well as to inability of the property to meet other requirements for rear property occupancy.

City Bond Issue No. 10 On Ballot Tuesday, East Cleveland voters will be asked to approve the issue of up to $855,000 of bonds for the construction, re on traction, repair and improve ment of storm and sanitary sewers within East Cleveland. Several areas of existing and potential floor and unsanitary conditions would be corrected by use of the bond money. The issue is No. 10 on the ballot. Although the City, with W.P.A. aid, undertook extensive sewer construction during the 1930’s, development of formerly vacant land within East Cleve land and in the Heights area to the south of the City has brought new problems. This development, including new homes, streets, of fices and large paved parking areas, has increased and will continue to increase the volume and rapidity of flow of storm water in our East Cleveland sewers. City officials, who have been following the progressive yearly increase of this water entering the City’s sewer system, now feel that the time has come to act, and that further delay in meeting the problem is un desirable from both an economy and safety viewpoint. Examples of sewer projects now being considered are: cul verting of Stanwood Creek, which runs between Oakhill and Taylor rds., to minimize the danger of flooding the area to the north of it and to eliminase existing unsanitary conditions construction of a cutoff sewer to help relieve the overload on the main Noble Road sewer and the new existing flood conditions in the drainage area construc tion of a bypass server to elimi nate existing flood conditions caused by a bottleneck in the Nine-Mile Creek sewer near the Ivanhoe rd. and Euclid ave. in tersection. Other sewer construc tion, now needed elsewhere in the City, will also be financed from proceeds of this bond issue. The City Commission, the rep resentative legislative body for all East Cleveland citizens, voted unanimously to place this issue before the voters, and is now urging support for its passage by a vote for Issue No. 10 on the Special Questions and Issues ballot which voters w’ill receive this next Tuesday. con- Special Issues Issue No. 10—Calls for an ap proval of an $885,000 bond is sue in East Cleveland.
