City Manager Reserves Opinion
Carran Awaits Final
Metro Charter Draft
Whether the much-discussed Metro and Cuya
hoga County Charter Commission proposals will be
good or bad for East Cleveland if they are put into
effect will depend upon the final draft of the charter
commission according to City Manager Charles A.
Carran who is reserving his opinion until that time.
Carran goes on to explain
that the Cuyahoga County
Charter Commission has pre
sented its second draft of a pro
posed County Charter, which
will be submitted to the voters
of Cuyahoga County at the
coming election on November
3rd.
Additional hearings before
the Charter Commission will be
held and a number of amend
ments will be proposed. The
present draft is not final.
The Cuyahoga County May
ors and City Managers Associ
ation has recommended that
garbage and rubbish disposal
should not be ipcluded as an ex
clusive County function.
Shaker Heights and the City
of Cleveland have strenuously
objected to the County taking
over the Shaker and Cleveland
transportations systems. There
is quite a feeling in Lakewood
against the County taking over
public health.

Cost Home
Furniture
In order to meet special needs
of families, the Men’s Center

Salvation Army is offering, “as

Senior Major William Char
ron, manager of the Men’s Cen

that is self-supporting, suggests
that, if wanted household items
are not available in the outlying

store is open daily from 9:30
a. m. to 5:00 p. m., Monday
through Saturday.
The Center operates 29
trucks, each with a driver and

Cleveland officials have ob
jected to the present Charter
draft provisions as they pertain
to the Cleveland water system.
The present draft of the Char
ter provides for an equitable re
imbursement to Cleveland of all
Cleveland General Fund tax
money paid by Cleveland in
past years for its water sup
ply. But Cleveland officials
have indicated great dissatis
faction with this provision and
want to be reimbursed for the
many additional millions that
Cleveland and suburban water
consumers have contributed to
the Ceveland water system in
theif monthly water bills.
Many suburban officials ques
i o n the advisability of the
County taking over poor relief
a very large percentage of
which is now paid by the City
of Cleveland, which has the
bulk of the relief load of the
County. These officials argue
that poor relief should not be
assumed by the County unless
water supply and sewage dis
posals are taken over by the
County.
Some dissatisfaction has been
expressed with the number of
assemblymen and the number
of districts from which they
would be elected. The Cuyahoga
County Mayors pnd City Man
agers Association has requested
that the redistrictfng provision
be mandatory, not optional as
in the present draft.
There are certain essentials
that are basic, are found in the
present draft, and should re
main there, says Carran. These
are:
A new form of County
Government.
The establishment and op
eration of sewage treatment
plants and sanitary and
storm drainage sewers. The
establishment and operation
of water supply systems.
The planning, construction,
and maintenance of metropol
itan roads and highways.
It is hoped that -in the re
maining few weeks the Charter
Commission will not adopt
ammendments to the present
draft just for the sake of com
promise, and thereby make the
charter less acceptable to the
suburban population.
The wording of the present
charter draft in regard to sew
age and water supply seems
very fair and equitable and
should not be rendered inef
fective by requiring excessive
payments to Cleveland or
requiring their submission

gleaned through the water bills
of the consumers. Some Cleve
land councilman want the coun
ty government to reimburse
Cleveland for this much larger
investiment. All suburbanites,
except Berea which has its own
water system, have contributed
already to the revenue for the
Cleveland plants through their
individual water bills. There
fore, argue the suburban of
ficials, their residents would be
paying twice.
However, Carran feels that
once an agreement is made on
the sewage problem, the suburbs
will benefit from having it* un
der control of the county. At
present, East Cleveland along
with several others suburbs
has a case in court against the
city of Cleveland for charging
water rates which it feels are
excessive.
Another contemplated pro
posal which Carrans feels would
weaken the charter if it is in
cluded is the decision to have
the voters of a community
that owns a facility which
the charter might wish to take
over vote on it. He feels that
the community’s representatives
would be better able to make
this decision then the voters at
large.
So many of these proposals
are only conjecture at present
and makes the evaluation of a
county charter hard to deter
mine says Carran.

A day of fun, excitement,
surprises and sights to be seen
only because of the St. Law

All this will take place on
Monday, August 17th.
That’s when this newspaper,
through special arrangements
with the owners of the luxuri
ous S. S. Aquarama, will make
possible an all-day cruise to De
troit and back on the Lake
Erie’s famous ocean-type lux
ury liner.
The day has been designated
as “Community Day.”
The ship will leave its dock
in Cleveland at 9:30 a. m. and
will return at 10:30 p. m.
During the cruise there will
be a variety of activities for
young and old alike to make
the trip across Lake Erie peas
ant and exciting.
Strolling on the spacious
decks in the sun, looking at ex
pansive Lake Erie, being enter
tained by wandering musical
groups, dancing, games, floor

who take advantage of our

Old timers here no doubt re

Point, Put-in-Bay, Detroit, Ca

Lake Erie ports.
Until the S. S. Aquarama
steamed into Cleveland several
years back, cruising on Lake
Erie was just a pleasant mem

The Aquarama’s permanent
sailing schedule out of Cleve

of “lost” luxury cruising at
moderate prices.
Special rates will be in effect
on “Community Day,” August
17th. Tickets for aduts are set
at |9.50 and $4.75 for children
5 to 11. There is no charge for
children under five.
Groups of 50 or more will be

City Gets
3rd Award
For Safety
In keeping with its winning
ways the city of East Cleve
land was awarded a Certificate
of Achievement for meritorious
work in police traffic supervi
sion in 1958 by the Interna
tional Association of Chiefs of
Police.
Only one other midwestern
city in the 25,000 to 50,000 pop
ulation bracket received a simi
lar award.
Chief of Police H. S. Weaver
states that he hopes to keep all
trophies and plaques awarded
to the city in a display case so
that the public which helped to
make them possible can see
these salutes to the fine traf
fic record.
That was also the point that
Commission President Ralph H.
Barton made when he accepted
the Grand Award Plaque for
the city last week at the AAA
awards luncheon.
Barton cited team work as
the key to the success. On this
team, he explained, were Chief
of Police H. S. Weaver and his
constantly alert corps of offi
cers the Municipal Judge,
Stanton Addams who stands
firmly behind the law enforc
ing officers the civic organi
zations the strong school safe
ty program conducted by the
department’s safety division
and the constant co-operation
of the Cleveland Auto Club.
Barton also credited the su
pervised playgrounds, pools, ice
rink and other recreation fa
cilities in East Cleveland as a
factor in keeping children play
ing in safe areas. All of this,
he held, reduces traffic haz
ards for both children and mo
torists.
