through to ningle with English
and tipping lessons nearby.
Down the hall one door is the
library, with its collection of 1900
members, built up over the last
% years, completely and newly
sorted and re-catalogued.
Remember how the Shaw band
marches down the football field
to the tune of the U. S. Field Ar
tillery March? That piece is there
in the files, and so are 240 other
marches, some Beethoven symph-
onies and some Dixieland jazz.
To the IL steel filing cabinets
add storage space for uniforms, a
sorting rack, desk and work table,
and you have the library furnish
ings.
Mr.. Fraser's office across the
hall and an instrument storage
room down the corridor complete
the rooms in the band wing.
'I'm very happy with the new
quarters but l hope we outgrow
them," Mr.. Fraser commented on
a personally conducted tour of the
rooms.
In two or three years he pre-
diets the band will have swelled
to 100-piece musical group, due
to the augmented instrumental
program in the grade schools. At
that time the full impact of the
specialized group work in music
that has been under way for four
years will be felt at Shaw.
One period each during the reg
ular school day will be devoted to
the band, the 40-piece orchestra,
and 100-voice choir under a new
set-up and in the new quarters.
And within the coming month
the little old gray-walled band
room across the street is destined
for removal, to make way for an
other new building at Shaw, the
gymnasium. Dear to the hearts of
hundreds of former band members
and synonymous with Milton O..
Niergarth, first and only director
of the Shaw band until his sudden
death last spring, its future rests
in the hands of a Lutheran con-
gregation who will convert it into
a small chapel for worship.
To the band kids, then and now,
it's the end of one era, the begin
ming of another. Good luck, Bob

Manager Charles A. Carran.
Compared to a total expendi-
ture Of $4,000 in 1916, the city
this year has earmarked an esti-
mated $4,000 for operation and
maintenance Of parks and play
grounds, warranted by the phe-
nomenal increase in community in
terest.
During this same period sums
allotted to recreational improve
provements and outlay have de-
creased from $14,753 in 1916 to a
rough total of $4,000 in 1850.
Peak expenditure was made last
year for improvements in Forest
Hill Park, according to the re-
port.
Receipts from operating the fa-
cilities show steady increase over
the previous four years with esti-
mated revenue this year topping
the 1916 mark of $4,000.
At the meeting, Supt. o. ]. Korb
of the East Cleveland Schools pre-
sented an overall general sum-
mary of the coming adult educa-
tion program.
Recreation Committee members
agreed to remain on call within the
next few months in the event their
aid in an advisory capacity is
needed to supplement this project.
A future session in December or
January is probable.
Complementing the city mana
gers report on recreation, Mrs.
Edwin Peysha, representing the
East Cleveland PTA's in her post
as council president, received a
vote of appreciation for compil-
ing a six-page summary of recre-
ational programs available here,
which she presented at Mondays
meeting. This summary catalogues
the entire program according to
the 81 activities listed and rep
resents a month Of research.

Scope Of the long-awaited and
carefully planned night recrea-
tional education classes for adults,
which begin in early October, will
be limited only by the community's
response to the idea and prefer
ence in subject matter.
In other words, Mr.. and Mrs.
East Cleveland, you probably will
get what you want if enough Of
you ask for it.
This was the feeling expressed
by C. Cassil Reynard, newly ap-
pointed to the post of recreation
director Of the Board of Educa-
ton, who from this point forward
will organize and supervise the
program.
Stressing that the courses to be
offered will be of a recreational
rather than academic nature, Mr..
Reynard listed badminton, ceram-
les, golf, bridge or canasta, sew
ing, dramatics, leather work,
enameling and dancing as likely
subjects.
Requests for other courses will
be carefully considered and incor-
porated in the schedule if enroll
ment and subject matter make
them feasible.
Glasses beginning October 9th,
will be held in one or two of the
public school buildings on a once
a-week, two-hour period basis.
Enrolment fees will be gov
erned by the basic Institutional
costs of the courses. Fees for any
materials used will be extra.

Speed Completion Of New
Quarters For Shaw Band;
First CHANGE in 25 Years
M-Day for the Shaw band is

II Il
M-Day for the Shaw band i,
here.
The moving process which has
been going on all these long sum-
mer days is now at the stage of
near-completion.
Drums and flies, tubas and
piccolos, music stands and the dir
ector's baton are all deposited in
their new quarters on the second
floor of the Shaw Tech bldg, the
single-handed feat of S. Robert
Fraser, new director, and his VOL
unteer aide, Lee c. McMillen, for
mer band member.
No longer will the famous black
and red uniforms be seen trudging
up the steps of the long-familiar
band annex across the street, as
they have for the past twenty-five
years.
For the first time in a quarter
of a century, they'll do their re-
hearsing again within the walls
of the high school. Only at the
time of the bands beginning in
the mid-20's did it meet else
where but the annex and then
for just brief period in one of
the Tech buildings basement
rooms.
Now Room 203 will be its home.
Center of activity as the main
rehearsal room, it contains new
risers, with a seating capacity for
60, small stage, an electric met
ronome, phonograph, and tun-
ing device known as strobo-
scope. Though it boasts little more
actual floor space than the old
band room, technically it is a
vast improvement because of the
acoustically treated walls in =
stalled last year.

Legislation calling for the SUBJ
mission of a one-mill levy to es-
tablish and maintain a capital i'm
provements fund was enacted
Tuesday night by the City Com
mission. The proposal will go to
the voters at the general election
in November as an amendment to
the City Charter.
This is the second time this
"pay-as-you-go" program has been
endorsed officially by the city.
The first time, in preparation for
the May, 1850, primary, action sud-
denly was rescinded when there
was a possibility that, as written,
the legislation would hazard the
city's yearly three per cent amuse-
ment tax, totalling 100000 per
year.
Now, with legislation so phased
as to include the proposed one-mill
levy in the real estate tax return
only, exclusive of any other taxes
which might find their way into
the city's Golfers, the ordinance
was adopted unanimously at Tues
day nights meeting.
The one-mill levy here will net
a return of an approximate maxi
mum of $65,000 year.
This would be earmarked solely
for the capital improvements fund,
which is thus established, and
could not be used for operating or
any other purposes whatsoever.
In substance, this is merely a
resubmission Of the original pro-
posal, with minor notifications to
conform with a Supreme Court
ruling in an almost identical case
involving the city of Dayton last
spring.
1t eventually will provide the
city with a capital improvements

NoDumpOrder
May Create A
Rubbish Pile

An old problem that East Cleve-
land city officials thought was
licked for some time to come is
about to produce an unpleasant
odor any day as a result of an
order to be issued by the City of
Cleveland.
The problem concerns disposal of
non-burnable rubbish collected each
week in East Cleveland. Up urtil
now, city trucks have been mak"n

dump near East doth street, help
ing our neighbors fill in what some-
day will be a new road and air.
port.
However, early this week Mayor
Thomas Burke of Cleveland learned
dumping space in the area was
running short. He ordered a check
made by the Service Department
and notices issued that all con-
Germs outside of Cleveland stop
dumping on the lake front.
According to reports, Service
Director Sam David of Cleveland
plans to put East Cleveland "on
notice."
City Manager Charles Carran
and the Service Department are
not worrying too much about the
problem, at least for now, but from
all indications, finding place to
dump the rubbish can be rough.
No such sites are available in the
city proper and in all probability
some kind of proposal will have
to be worked out with a neighbor-
ing suburb.
The general feeling at City Hall
is that it will be month or longer
before any "stop dumping" action
is taken by Cleveland.
