Committee Of
Citizens Back
County Charter

"Vote eyes" on the proposed
county charter" is the recommen.
dation of the members of the new.
| ly formed East Cleveland Citizens
Committee For the County Char
ter. Under the auspices of the
League of Women Voters of East
Cleveland, working through its To-
cal program chairman, Mrs. Stu
art Cummins, a group of civic
minded East Clevelanders have
formed this committee for the
charter.
Believing, as the League does,
that the proposed charter offers
the opportunity for coordinating
countrywide services without in
fringing on rights of the local
community, the following group of
citizens have indicated their will
ingness to become members of the
local committee advocating pas
sage of the charter.

Mrs. E. A. Peysha, Mr.. Fred Hen
derson, Mrs. James Anderson,
Reverend M. Wayne Mcqueen,
Mrs. J. Howard Bright, Reverend
Earle C.. Hochwald and Mr.. Ken
meth Bolmeyer.
Members of the League of Wo-
men Voters who are also members
of the committee include Mrs.

Tracy Stafford, first vice-presi-
dent; Mrs. Frank W. Baldau, Sec
ond vice president; Mrs. C. E.
Cooper, treasurer; Mrs. Raymond
Sprenkle, Voters Service chairman,
and Mrs. Stuart Cummins, Local
Program chairman.
ThA seven Leagues throughout
Cuyahoga County have gone on
record as approving the passage
of the county charter, and are
forming similar committees in
their own communities, in the be-
lief that local committees will
carry more weight than the coun-
ty-wide committee whose members
may be unfamiliar to some voters.

Ask Voters To Back
Three Levies Here;
2 County Issues Up

With a record of always back
ing school issues, it seems hardly
necessary to present reasons why
East Cleveland School District
residents should renew their ex-
piring 8-mills operating fund levy.
The 8 mills, by the way is 42fo of
the fund income. 1t runs for five
year periods and, being a renewal
adds nothing to the school tax.
But, because folks like to know
how their tax money is being
spent, the East Cleveland Leader
in two previous articles has set
forth figures indicating salary,
operation, and maintenance costs.
In addition there are such routine
bills as the districts share in re-
tir m e mt payments, electricity,
fuel.
Considering just these three
items, the board of education five
years ago paid as it's share of the
teachers retirement $17,903.00.
This year this same item will claim
$4O,216.00. Other school employee
retirement payments will nip the
budget for $14,780 against the
1916 figure of $5,021.00.
In 1915 retirement payments were
based on a $1,000 maximum. Today
it is $4,000. In 1945 percentage pay
ments for both school board and
teacher was four percent. Today
it is five per cent.
Now for fuel, oil and coal. In
1916 the fuel bill was $20,578.00.
With two months to go this year
it is expected to be about $4,000.
AS for the electricity charges,
the increase over the five year
span is from an $4,000 average
to an anticipated 100000 this
year.
The five year span was used
because, as above stated, this levy
runs for five year periods, when
it must be renewed. To date il
has never lost.

This is not a political advertise
ment.
For several years we have been
watching with interest the career
of young man, who despite the
necessity of earning a living, finds
time for many worthwhile activi-
ties beneficial to his fellow men.
He is Arthur w. Fiske, Al, 397
East 222nd st. His occupation is
librarian for the Cleveland Law
Librarian Association. He is a
candidate for State Senator.
AS a member of the State Legis-
lature, 1947-48, he secured the
passage of five laws of great bene-
fit to the public: Ohio Tuberculosis
Control Program; 3-bed TB hospi-
tai at Ohio State University; Ohio
Hospital Construction Act (se-
cured SIS million from Federal
Government); Consolidation Of
Health Districts; Amended NUM-
cipal Court Act.
We haven't the space in one
issue to recount all the civic or
ganizations he is active in, but
we'll skim the surface: Fiske is
president of the Cuyahoga County
Public Library; member of the
Board of Trustees of the Cleveland
Anti-Tuburculosis League; Trustee
of the Cleveland Crime Commits
sion; Trustee of the Legal Aid So
ciety; Chairman of three commit
tees of the Citizens League; Chair
man Cuyahoga County Young Re-
publicans; Member of Euclid Char
ter Commissions; and member of
numerous committees of both the
Cleveland and Cuyahoga Bar As
sociations.
It's hard to believe but we've
found he takes really active part
in all these things. Oh, yes, he
does get time for a bit of recrea-
tion. We note he is vice-president
of the Cleveland Bird Club.
We recommend him for your at
attention Tuesday.

that it always remain a park.
Naturally the City of Cleveland,
no matter how much it likes it's
neighbor, doesn't really care to
maintain a park within the limits
of East Cleveland. So it leases
Pattison to this suburb which
maintains it as a recreation spot.
To be found here are two soft
and one hard ball diamonds, con-
creted areas for tennis, volley ball
and basketbll; all playground
equipment tucked away in a safe
spot for the smaller residents; an
outdoor stage and a rest house.
Within the past year extensive
improvements have been and are
still underway at the park which
is patronized well by folks from
through the section, city borders
to the contrary.
The park adjoins Metropolitan
Park, maintained by Cleveland.

work among the children.

measure for pedestrians, to reduce
street traffic accidents, and to add
beauty to the city by night.
On next Tuesday, East CIeve-
land voters will answer 'yes" or
"no" to this proposal. 1t is coming
to them on the ballot, under the
title of a $4,000 bond issue,
100000 of which is for the street
lighting job, and the balance for
work on streets, etc.
Its interesting to compare the
old and the new in street lighting
Take look at the new lights on
Euclid, Hayden, Terrace, Superior,
Shaw and Noble, for instance. Note
the taller pole with the longer
arm on which is suspended the
newest type of lamp to bring more
light into the street area, while
at the same time lighting the
walk. This type of standard also
means less cutting back Of trees.
Note also that new poles are
bolted into concrete blocks, not
set directly into the ground. Note
the better spacing of poles.
The new system will bring the
city's street lighting system up
to the requirements of the Ameri-
can Standards Practise set up by
the American Standards Associa-
ton which is sponsored by the
National Illuminating Engineering
Society.
In all its street lighting plan
ming, East Cleveland has been for
tunate in having the assistance of
General Electric's Nela Park light
ing experts. They have recon-
mended and advised, and the city
has followed their recommends
tions.
The new lighting program up
to now has been financed from the
1914 bond issue of $4,000 for
street improvements. The fund is
now exhausted. Additional funds
must be voted to continue the i'm
provement to cover every street in
town.
1t is interesting to note that
East Cleveland is one of the three
municipalities in the area to pay
its light bills from its general
fund. The other IA cities assess
taxpayers dir ct for lighting
ing costs. No change in this policy
is anticipated here.
Up to now the city's annual
electric bill approximates $4,000
year. When the entire city is
relighted, with larger and stronger
luminaires, it is expected to reach
$4,000
