Water Department
Gets Rent Boost

Effective January first the City
Water Department will be paying
the city $500 month rent. This
includes all facilities now enjoyed
by the department which is housed
in city maintained offices, garage,
and storage quarters, plus heat,
light and telephone.
In fact the water department
writes its rent check and leaves
to the city all the headaches OF
a landlord, the city assuming all
the responsibility of operation and
maintenance.
The water department is self
sustaining utility, income meeting
all expenses of the department.
At next Tuesdays regular meet
ing of the City Commission, there
will be presented a detailed report
of the coming boost in water rates,
effective as of December 18th,
under the city's new contract with
the City of Cleveland. While no
figures have been released, it is
indicated that a 20qe over the board
boost will await all consumers.

Chief Weaver asks the co-opera-

ave.; on the west side of Nela ave.
from Euclid through to Terrace
rd.; and on the east side of Noble

City Faces
Storm Cost
Of $4,000

The recent snow storm will cost
the City of East Cleveland about
$4,000, according to a rough esti-
mate made Monday by G. T. Ap-
thorp, director of finance. This
figure does not include the cost
of damage to the city's radio sta
tion, the extent of which is not yet
known, or any of the damage which
may be unearthed as the snow is
cleared away.
The $4,000 figure includes the
approximate $4,000 cost of labor
and supplies used in battling the
21.3 inch snowfall, and the $4,000
for rented equipment pressed into
service to speed the job.
In addition the storm figures add
up losses to business, and damage
and storm repair for property
owners. Motorists also experienced
unexpected expenditures in connec-
tion with their automobiles and
trucks.
Mr.. Apthorp had the unusual ex-
perience of serving as acting mayor
during the city's worst emergency.
1t so happens that City Manager
Chas. A. Carran left Friday for
Houston, Texas, to attend the ma
tional convention of city managers
He returned to City Hall Monday
and was deluged with storm re-
ports and comments from all and
Sundry Of a job we'll done.
Service crews are still at work
hauling away heaps Of snow. They
worked all day Sunday, also.
The city used it's own men
throughout the emergency, their
service receiving the praise of city
officials. Mr.. Apthorp comments
that the splendid personnel and or
ganization certainly met the test.

Three Robberies In

In the m idst of sufficient
troubles cleaning away snow, three
business places were visited by un-
desirable guests during the snow.
Charles Rigel who operate a gro
Gerry store at 1924 Euclid ave., re-
ports merchandise and cash taken
the night of November Both. En-
trance was gained through a rear
door.
The H-Speed gas station, 1862
Woodlawn ave., ]. Occhionero
owner, was robbed Of a small
amount of money the same night
The intruder here crawled ir
through small window seven-feet
from the ground level. A truck on
the rack gave him easy facilities to
drop to the floor. Flashlights and
a small amount of cash was taken.
The Albright Coal Co. 1865 Lake
view ave. reports the theft of
$112.85 in tax stamps plus the
steel rack in which the stamps
were kept, when their office was
entered the night of December

Familiar Christmas Tree
Market Opening Again

Initiation hasn't hit the Christ
mas tree market. At least not the
market which Bob Louis and Milt
Niergarth, jr. are having at Bill
Garments Driving Range, Shaw
ave. Specializing in Scotch Pine
and Spruce, the same good quality
will prevail at last years price,
announces Mr.. Louis.
This will be Milt, jr's. first year
as member of the firm. Hitherto
his dad, beloved Milt Niergarth of
Shaw High Band fame was Bob's
partner while young Milt helped.
Milt will be home from Miami
University in time to open shop
with Mr.. Louis. He leaves at
years end for Phoeniz, Arizonia,
where Miami meets Temple in
New Years Day game. He plays
on the Miami team.
Customers old always return.
Customers New are as eagerly well
coined to get their 1850 Christmas
tree from Bob and Milt at 1481r

Calls Storm
A Natural
Casualty" "

General Electric Supply Co.,
Monday night was awarded the
contract for supplying 566 units,
luminaires and wiring etc., to finish
the city's relighting program, the
cost will be $4,000. Poles for this
job were purchased several months
ago and secured then at cost
below today's prices.
In an ordinance which came be-
fore the City Commission at this
same time, the setback on Elder
wood ave. from Doan to Eastman
was fixed at five feet.
City Manager, Chas. A. Carran
explained that this was the general
setback for the street except at the
point nearing Eastman where it
widened back to 20 feet. This was
due he said to the fact that origi-
nally it was planned to cut Elder
wood through and the deeper set
back was provided to make pos
sible a better intersection. Since
then this plan has been dropped.
Mr.. Carran made an interesting
statement which indicated the trend
in city planning. He said the think
ing at the time the street WIS laid
out, was for long straight through
streets. Today, in residential areas,
the thinking is for dead-end streets
to discourage through traffic.
In a resolution passed by the
commission the recent storm emer-
gency was declared to have been
"a natural casulty" and was so
termed in the resolution. 1t was
passed to cooperate with the
schools who postponed classes to
Monday, on the request of the city
officials as a safety measure. Hav-
ing many children trying to get to
school, when it was still necessary
to walk in the streets was menace
to safety, the officials held. School
officials were quick to respond to
the request.
The public and parochial schools
were closed from Thanksgiving
holiday which then extended
through the following week.

OF first Importance in the Pulses
added to the YWCA East Cleve-
land program is Miss Helen
Thatcher, the new executive dir
ector, who is in charge of the East
Side Branch activities. Coming to
Cleveland from Brooklyn, N. Y,
where she was associate director
of the YWCA, Miss Thatcher is
taking her home on Terrace and
Lee blvd., "just a stones throw"
from the YWCA at 1866 Euclid
ave.
At the time Of our interview,
Miss Thatcher showed us around
the newly decorated rooms which
underwent a major face lifting op-
Grafton this summer, pointing out
that YWCA work is really fun in
these bright, happy rooms. "As the
year goes along, we hope to have
several social affairs here, so that
more East Clevelanders will get to
know us, to feel at home in our
pleasant rooms, and to take part
in our program. Our next social
event will be the traditional Christ
mas Party which will be held on
Tuesday evening, December 10Th
and to which everyone is invited"
Speaking of the class program,
Miss Thatcher called attention to
the fact that the Wednesday night
Hobby Glasses in bridge and cer-
amics are now accepting registra-
ton for the winter term beginning
January 10th at 7:30. Each even
ing's session ends at 9:30 with a
coffee hour. Also, the Health Edu-
cation department is offering some
thing new for mixed groups, in a
Sports Night on Tuesdays from
8:45 to 9:45 and Square Dancing on
Thursdays from $3.50 to 9:45. Ed
Wojniak will call.
Of course, the regular classes
in tennis, badminton, body condi-
tioning and swimming resume after
the first of the year, and the Sat-
urday classes in swimming for
girls from z to 16 will begin again
on January 9th.
Miss Thatcher says she likes liv-
ing in our community. She chalked
up an invaluable "grass roots" ex-
perience this fall when she cap
tanned a Community Chest team
for her new home town. She is the
YWCA's staff representative to
the East Cleveland Community
Council and is eager to acquaint
herself with other civic programs

Lightning
Damages
City Radio

East Cleveland police last Satur-
day, December End had a taste of
"the good old days" in police busi-
ness when lightning disrupted its
modern three-way radio system.
Striking at 6:15 a. m. the depart
ment was minus the now custom
ary channel Of communication
until 400 p. m. BY this time City
Electrician VIM. Marlowe h d
been able to make temporary re-
pairs and get the system operat-
ing locally. Contact with the coun-
try-wide radio hook-up was not
possible, even up to Tuesday.
Mr.. Marlowe says that this is
the second time on record that
lightning has struck a municipal
radio system. The first reported
instance was last year in Michigan.
Since both the antenna in Forest
Hills Park and the set in police
headquarters were out of commits
sion, it is believed that the bolt
struck somewhere between these
two points.
Another infrequent city job pop
ped up in the wake of the big
snow. A six-inch water main on
Orinoco ave. broke Wednesday,
November 29th at 200 p. m. By
noon of the following day James
Barnes and his water department
crew had temporary repairs made.
Permanent repairs were completed
by the end of the week. A cracked
pipe was found to have caused the
sudden upsurge of water.
