East Cleveland
Loan Co Has Best
Year In History

At the annual meeting of share
holders of The East Cleveland Saw
ings and Loan Co., January %,
1852, the following directors were
reelected for three-year terms:
George B. Baer, Ralph r. Heikes
and Arthur F. Zalud. Other direc-
tors are Phil G. Wuertz, R. E.
Nixon, L. E. Luikart, DR.. Hugh j.
Leslie and Robert C. Knox.
Officers elected for 1852 are:
Phil G. Wuertz, president; Ralph
r. Heikes, chairman of the board
R. E. Nixon, vice president; Robert
C. Knox, executive vice president
and secretary; Robert G. Rath, As
sistant secre tary; Jesse M.
Knisely, treasurer; Arthur F.
Zalud, attorney.
Mr.. Knox reported 1851 the
largest year for growth in the
company's 31-year history. Total
assets reached 5,751, ,248, a $40
increase for the year. Savings in
creased $1,101 1894 to new high
of $4,872,264. General reserves now
total $396,072, which is $40 to
savings. During the year the COM
pany made 269 mortgage loans
totaling over $2,000,000.
In his report to the members, Mr..
Wuertz, president, reviewed the
years activities in the light of
their bearing on the fight of the
entire country against heavy in
flationary pressures. He pointed
out that increased personal savings
are one of the principal ways to
fight initiation, and that the 29fo
net gain last year in savings in
vested in the company represented
that sum withdrawn from imme-
date spending, thus helping to pre-
serve the stability of the dollar.
"Real estate prices and building
costs are at dollars -and-cents levels
which have not been seen before
in our memory, he said. Sound
real estate lending in such an era
depends on good personal risks for
borrowers as well as on the prop
erty."
He reported over $S8,131 in divi-
dends paid to savers of the East
Cleveland Savings and Loan Com
pany during 1851, and that from
all indication 1852 should be an
other good year.

East Cleveland's salt trucks
we're on the job Monday morning
almost as fast as that thin coat
of ice covered the streets. Motor
lists travelling through town en-
route to work commented on the
ease with which they travelled the
city's section of Euclid ave. and
other main thoroughfares in the
municipality. Hats off to the alert
police who radioed the Eddy Road
barn at the first sign of ice.
Window displays about town the
week of February Ali are going
to be unusually interesting. Many
of them will be set up by the Boy
Scout and Cub Pack groups in East
Cleveland, who will observe Boy
Scout Week by demonstrating their
handcraft abilities, and displays
indicative of Boy Scout service.
That 1852 ECBA Installation
party was a jolly affair from start

present boutonnieres to the incom-

would pay 21a% of the total esti-
mate, or about $11, 900. 1t has al
ready earmarked $4,000 for Civil
Defense, to include local expendi-
lures, as well.
Similar agreements must be
entered into by at least 20 of the
suburbs within the county to make
the plan effective, said City Man
ager Charles A. Canaan.
AS a protective measure in the
event of injury to a Civil Defense
volunteer during training or in
actual duty, the Commission
authorized the city to enter into
a contract with the Industrial
Commission of Ohio whereby Civil
Defense Volunteers will come
under the protection of the Work
mans Compensation Act.
Finance Director G. T. Apthorp
explained that the city would GER
tify a list of the volunteers and
pay the Commission 90c per per-
son per year.
When asked if the city had a
goal as to the number of volunteers
needed under it's Civil Defense pro-
gram, Mr.. Apthorp replied that
the city would probably reach a
volunteer organization of $500 per-
sons. In the World War II Civilian
Defense here, the volunteers num-
bered up to $500.
Other items on the Commission
agenda were acted upon as fol-
lows:
Moved to request the County
Commissioners to widen and re-
pave North Noble srd. from Euclid
