Burnette Hastings Property
Owners Defeat zoning
Board Recommendation

The recommendation of the City
Zoning Board to re-zone the rear
half of a lot on the south side of
Euclid ave. between Hastings and
Burnette aves., was rejected by the
City Commission Tuesday night,
after some 65 residents in the area
packed the Commission chamber
in protest against the action. The
parcel in question would have been
occupied by bowling alley.
Despite the promises of the pro-
ponents that the alleys would be
of such modern construction as to
be noiseless from without and
under the best of management,
property owners held they would
be a nuisance, add parking prob
lens, bring undesirable persons
into the area, lower valuation of
abutting properties, and in short,
were just not the type of improve
ment to bring into the neighbor-
hood.
Fears that the restaurant might
become a place where liquor would
be sold, we're answered by City
Manager Carran who said that no

Dime March
Reaches Half
Way Mark

Just five days to go and more
than $4,000 to raise. That is how
East Cleveland's balance sheet in
the 1850 infantile paralysis fund
drive stands as of Tuesday, ac-
cording to figures announced by
Chairman Stanton Adams.
However, it is we'll to remem-
ber that Judge Adams feels
East Cleveland should surpass
its goal since it received $751;
900 from the polio fund for its
own new polio cases in 1949.
Up to Tuesday evening L. B.
Keith, the treasurer, had counted
$4,000, representing the returns
on the personal canvass up to that
time.
Included in this report are the
gifts of eight additional organiza-
tions within the city, namely,
Glenville Chapter $50 Order of
Eastern Star, Welsh Boosters
Club, Daughters of the British En-
pire St. Pauls Chapter, East
Cleveland Lions Club, East Cleve-
land American Legion Auxiliary,
East Cleveland Woman's Club and
the Woman's Board of Huron Road
Hospital.
Chairman Adams announces
that persons who have not been
contacted, even though a canvasser
has called on them more than once,
may give their. contribution to
fight the battle against polio by
either dropping it in the collec-
tions being taken at the local
movie houses, or into one of the
miniature iron lung boxes to be
found on the counter in your
neighborhood stores. In either case,
your gift will be credited to East
Cleveland.
Checks may also be sent to the
East Cleveland March of Dimes,
J.. B. Keith, treasurer, and ad-
dressed to East Cleveland City
Hall.
Although East Cleveland's new
polio cases in 1949 cost the Infan-
tile Paralysis Foundation $4,000,
the city's goal in the 1850 cam
paign is still $4,000. With the
$4,000 reported up to Tuesday
from the personal canvass, this
leaves over $4,000 to be collected
through the miniature iron lung
boxes about town, the theatre col
lections and group and additional
individual gifts.
Give!

stronger than 80 beer could be
issued for East Cleveland under
it's zoning ordinance. He said no
new permits had been issued here
for about II years.
The parcel in question is a lot
with 96-ft. frontage on Euclid
ave. and extends 325 feet south.
The plan, as outlined by City Man
ager Chas. A. Carran in giving the
basis on which the Zoning Board
recommended the re-zoning re-
quest, is to erect a 80 60 foot
restaurant at street level seven
feet in from the sidewalk to the
front. In the rear of this there
would be accommodations for park
ing 45 to so automobiles. The one
story bowling alley, with Is lanes,
would be erected to the extreme
rear of the lot.
The front 172 feet of the lot has
been zoned for business since 1922.
The balance is residential and it
is the balance for which the re-
zoning is asked.
Building the alleys at the rear,
said opponents, would bring them
in their back yard.
During the heated discussion At
torney Milton T. Daus, speaking
for the owner, May Rose Seigel,
declared they still had the right
to build an alley on the front of
the lot. He introduced bowling al
ley managers to testify that alleys
were not nuisance.
DR.. c. P. Landgrebe presented a
protesting petition signed by prac-
tically 1000 of abutting property
owners.
Speaking against the re-zoning
were w. W. Harmon, c. J. F.
Smith, H. L. Spence, Arthur Shive-
ly, George Neill, all of Burnette
ave. and J. H. Juergens speaking
for the Jon Vaks, also of
Burnette. Carl Nagel spoke for
the Hastings ave. property owners.
Citing their objections, the
property owners stated that none
Of them had been notified of the
proposed re-zoning and knew
nothing of it until a news item in
last weeks East Cleveland Leader
told of this Tuesday nights hear
ing. They felt they should have
been notified and thus given the
opportunity to appear before the
zoning board.

What percentage of high school
graduates go to college, what per-
centage starts to work upon gradu-
alton, and are curriculums being
set up to meet the needs of both
groups?
This was the subject discussed be-
fore the January meeting of the
East Cleveland Ministerial Associ-
ton, a breakfast hour at Winder-
mere Methodist church Tuesday,
January 17th. The speaker was
Wayne C. Blough, principal of
Shaw High School who is much
concerned over this question. A
lively discussion marked the pre-
sentation.
National statistics reveal that
approximately one-third of all high
school graduates go to college. The
, two-thirds step from the school
room into the work-a-day world.

the educator the vital response

Americanism is the topic for the

could be more American than base
ball. Since the Legion has been
actively interested in baseball for
the young fry, the Auxiliary has
secured James Ross Muddler, man
ager Of the Posts Blue and Gold
teams, as the speaker. They also
have invited the Legion to come and
hear Ross speak. Mothers of the
boys in the two teams are also
invited to this meeting to be held
Wednesday, February 1st at s p. m.
in the Post home, Hawley Park.
Mrs. Wesley Mattern, American

his tenth year.
In 1910 Enos Fry of the Post
convinced Mr.. Muddler, who had
been in the baseball managing
business then for many years, that
he should take over direction of
the East Cleveland Post team. Ac-
cordingly, in 1941 the East Cleve-
land teams were organized and two
teams each year has been the story
ever since.
