Even Wee Leaks
Can Run Up
That Water Bill

With New York City facing a
water famine, its water depart
ment employees are being sent out
to check leaks in the system.
Early reports indicate that mil
lions of gallons of water are being
wasted daily through Indifference
and carelessness on the part Of
the consumer.
Remembering a statement is
sued recently by James E. Barnes,
assistant superintendent of the
East Cleveland Water Department
anent this subject, we dug up the
record. Mr.. Barnes says it still
holds true. Even the merest leak
can mount to many cubic feet
of water wasted in a months
period. For instance:
At 40 pounds pressure, very
thin leak (similar to a mere
dripping in a water faucet) can
count up to 600 cubic feet in a
month and 1900 cubic feet in three
months at cost of $3.50. And the
monetary cost is not the least
of the damage. The actual loss
of the water itself is far more
important.
A worn faucet washer will per-
nit one-sixteenth of an inch Of
water to flow for a waste of $500
cubic feet in a month, $500 cubic
feet in three months at a loss Of
$1O.78.
A leak in the toilet adds even
more to the consumers water bill.
A one-eight inch stream amounts
to 10000 cubic feet in four weeks,
10000 cubic feet in three months
and adds $43.13 to the statement
for the three months period.
The householder or apartment
owner may not think that the

Changes At
Ne|aParkOn
January 1st

Five changes in the personnel
at General Electric's Nela Park
will become effective with the New
Year, retirements and promotions
being announced.
Martin L. Sloan, vice president
of the General Elecric Company
with headquarters at Nela Park
is retiring under the company's
pension program after nearly 40
years of service. One Of Mr.. Sloan's
best-known achievements involved
the introduction of the sealed beam
headlight for automobiles over
decade ago. He not only acted as
coordinator of the various GE
activities involved, but also
brought the various automobile
manufacturers into agreement on
the development.
Succeeding Mr.. Sloan is Fred F.
Harroff, general manager of the
lamp department at Nela Park,
who retains his present position
here. A native of Garfield, Harroff
was graduated from Salem (Ohio)
High School and Western Reserve
University.
DR.. Zay Jeffries, who began
service with GE in 1914 as a con-
sultant to the National Lamp
Works on East 152nd ST., will also
retire December 31st. DR.. Jeffries,
now of Pittsfield, Mass, was on
the faculty at Case Institute of

Professional publicists from the
fields of radio, television and

openings in the Organized Reserve
Corps.
Under special authority of The
Department of the Army, Cleve-

Although this is an entirely new

primary interests lie in public

Investigation
Not Prosecution
Work Of FBI

A great mass Of information
mas been compiled and made an
important part of law enforcement
agencies by the Federal Bureau
Of Investigation in most Of the
states of the Union, according to
Mr. Arthur w. Pegeau Of the
Cleveland agency, in a talk to the
Mems Club Of the East Cleveland
Congregational Church.
Mr.. Pegeau pointed out four
types Of work Of the F.BI, all
Of them having to do with inter-
state matters, and all Of them,
contrary to popular beliefs, en-
tirely investigational and not the
prosecution Of a case.
The information uncovered is
made Immediately available TO
law enforcement agencies, but the
F.B.I. itself does not carry through
the legal processes Of indictment
or prosecution, explained Mr..
Pegeau.
The four types Of investigation
are; general criminal cases,
East Cleveland leader. [volume] (East Cleveland, Ohio) 1942-1970, 1949-12-29

general security problems, special
security emergencies, and develop
ment of tools Of legal procedures.
The first is illustrated by automo-
bile thefts involving the crossing
of state boundaries; the second by
espionage and sabotage cases that
bring in aliens or citizens from
out-of-state localities; the third by
loyalty charges against American
citizens; and the fourth by the
recording Of finger prints of
suspected criminals and the scien-
tific analyses Of substances, stains.
or other alleged evidence in actual
legal prosecutions.
The central Bureau in Washing
ton, Mr.. Pegeau pointed out, is
a marvellous storehouse for the
facts gathered and for the actual
testing Of evidence. Information is
so classified and filed that it can
be made available to any court or
legal agency in the country within
a few hours The FB.I. itself
does not use facts in legal action,
but secures, analyses and evalu-
ates them for any authorized
purpose.
The talk was listened to by
about sixty men of the church and
their friends, and was supplemented
by film showing the actual steps
Of instruction of local policemen
and Of the training Of those who
enter the Bureau as full time
employees.
Preceding Mr.. Pegeau's interest
ing talk, the Club enjoyed music
furnished by Mr.. and Mrs. Al
under the sponsorship
of Mr. William c. Domino, a club
member. The Mems Club will meet
on the third Wednesday
to enjoy eating together and
learning about important activities
of their civic life. Future programs
will include a talk on Western
Reserve University athletics, Con-
sumers' Credit, and current eco
nomic problems.

small faucet for a months time
amounts to much. 1t does however.
1t amounts to a waste of 10000
cubic feet Of the water supply and,
if allowed to continue for three
months, adds $173.79 to the water
bill.
A large faucet left running
really hits the jackpot. A three
eights inch stream can click
$4,000 cubic feet of water on the
meter reading in only one month,
and in three months will mean an
overhead charge of $404.51 to the
water account.
These costs, explains Mr..
Barnes, are based on stream the
size indicted running steadily at
the given pressure of 40 pounds,
for "a hours a day, 80 days
month.
The water department recon-
mends periodically checking of
meters to determine if there are
leaks in the system. Noisy pipes
also indicate leaks. Water con-
sumers unable to locate suspected
leak are requested to notify the
Water Department, MU. 5000. The
service is free.

Older Pedestrian
Warned To Cross
Street With Care

"Wet or icy streets greatly in
crease accident hazards to pedes-
trians and particularly to elderly
people," H. S. Weaver, Chief of
East Cleveland's police depart
ment said today in urging persons
in the 65 and up age group to dou-
Bile their care in crossing streets
during bad weather.
Chief H. S. Weaver is City of
East Cleveland's official represen-
tative for the National Pedestrian
Protection Contest sponsored by
the American Automobile Associa-
ton and Cleveland Automobile
Club.
"Attempts to walk faster than
normal may result in their falling
and then perhaps being struck, "
he said.
elderly pedestrians frequently
depend upon motorists to slow
down or stop for them. While most
drivers are glad to do this when
they can, it is a dangerous mistake
to count on it. Pedestrians under
estimate the distance which it
takes a vehicle to stop. Sometimes
automobiles just can not stop in
time to avoid hitting pedestrians
who walk in front of them" Chief
Weaver stressed.
Select the best protected cross
walk, preferably one where
police officer is stationed, or a
traffic light is in operation. When
possible, avoid crossing intersec-
teions at extra wide points, where
you cannot make it across before
the signal changes. When in doubt,
always wait until there is safer
opportunity to cross" Chief Weav-
er advised elderly pedestrians in
conclusion.

Big Brain" Will Verify Your Income
Tax Return In Almost NOTHING Flat

collectors staff translates all this
information into perforations on
the cards. These cards in turn are
fed into the Big Brain"
1t will accept from the punch
card duplicates such tax figures as
adjusted gross income, exemptions,
deductions, prepayment credits and
payment credits, store these fac
tors in its so-called memory,
determine the taxable income in
each bracket and then calculate the
combined normal tax and surtax
applicable to each bracket, add the
totals and produce the correct tax
answer. And all in one-seventieth
of a second!
In cases of joint returns, it will
divide the taxable income, figure
the tax on each half and multiply
by two.
1t also will take the standard
deduction and specific deductions
and give the taxpayer the benefit
Of the lower tax.
The big Brain" will be able to
process approximately $50 of the
million-plus returns which will be
filed with Carey's office between
Jan. / and March Is. Returns re-
porting incomes of $1,000 and over
will get their usual auditing ex-
animation.
An |. B. M. representative who
has worked on the "Big Brain"
says only three or four men really
understand the complicated work
ings of the device. Only one, he
said could attempt to explain it
in taxpayers language.
