New Timing
Speeds Up
Motoring

If motorists and pedestrians
looked a wee bit puzzled this
week on Euclid and Superior
avenues it wasn't because of the
weather.
Up until Sunday, many motor
ing experts had worked out way
to 'beat the lights" in East
Cleveland. That is, after what
might have been weeks or
m Onths of experimenting,
drivers gagged their speed on
Euclid to make nonstop runs
through East Cleveland.
Sunday a new timing was set
up for the traffic signals and
the ''knOw-how" drivers have
been troubled with acceIeratiOn
speeds since. In some cases Pc
destrians found they had more
time to cross the street than
before. This was all according to
plan.
The timing on Euclid has been
stepped up. In other words, you
can now speed through town in
tune with the faster motoring
PAGES of the present day. But
your speed will have to be limi-
ted to II miles per hr. At this
rate of acceleratiOn and prOvid-
ing you hit the first light just
right, you can travel from Noble
rd. to Lakeview Cor vice versa)
nonstop. The new timing on
Superior is between Lockwood
and Terrace. Of course if
truck, bus or road hog gets in
your way the light can not
help you.
AS for the pedestrians, in most
cases they have three more Sec
Onds of crossing time. The old
time was 21 seconds and now
you have a full "a seconds to
make it safely to the other side.
The new timing is in accord
ance with recommendations from
the Automobile Club and Traf-
tic Engineers.

Red Cross
Goal Here

over last years campaign total,
East CleveIand's battalion of Red

gram--for our armed forces, Civil
Defense, disaster relief and civilian
hospitals"

ner, have enlisted the aid of adj
ditional captains to canvas their
districts.

Funds to complete the job were
made available after voters okehed
a S135,000 bond issue last fall.
Up until January, 1851, new in
stallations were concentrated on
main thoroughfares with some is
miles of heavily travelled streets
being brought out of the dark. In
all, 722 new units were installed.
That leaves, some 81 miles yet to
be improved. The difference in
time spent on the new installations
is due to the varied standards for
residential streets as compared to
arterial highways. In other words,
lights on Euclid ave. are closer to-
gether than on a side street.
Marlowe pointed out that the
present lighting was completed in
1922. At that time the illumina-
tion was considered adequate and
modern. The old lights were noun
ted some fourteen feet above
ground, new methods call for a
twenty five foot mounting height.
The newer type globe and higher
mounting tends to magnify the
candle power and spread it over
a greater area. The new lights are
said to give four times more illum-
nation per unit as compared to
the old street lights.
Except for East 125th street,
Colt I'd. and Taylor I'd. (south)
members Of the East Cleveland
Electrical department, under the
supervision of Mr.. Marlowe, have
installed and will complete install
