City Sets Date For
Rent Control Hearing

"This does not mean that any
decision has been reached by the
Commission on the question of ex-
tending rent controls" declared
City Manager Charles A. Carran.
"The decision will be made by the
Commission at the close of the
hearing September 25th. But we
do feel that the public should be
heard on so important question y
Mr.. Carran explained that since
it is obvious that all persons who
may desire to express themselves
on the question may not be able
to do so in the hearing because
of the time limit, may present
their statement in writing. The
Commission, he said, is ready to
consider all communications. He
suggested that, in order to have
the time to handle this CORES
pondence, these letters be received
no later than Monday, September
21st.
In the meanwhile the Commits
sion and other city officials are
continuing their study of the rent
control situation in East Cleveland.
Here are few facts which have
come to light. Seventy percent of
the city's 1929 family units are
occupied by tenants. Of the rented
units, $3.50, or 3,422 units, are
occupied by single families; 1870,
or $3.50 units are two-family.
Large apartments with suites for
4,187 families make up 32% of
the rentals. Four-family apart
ments provide SOC or $50 of the
rentals. Two percent of the rentals,
551, are located over stores. Six
percent of East Cleveland renters,
or 903 families, reside in terraces.
So many factors enter into a
rent increase, that each case must
stand on its own ground when
considered. Taken into considera-
ton must be service added or cur
tailed, maintenance maintained at
landlord or tenant expense, opera
tion costs, etc.
Landlords say they cannot oper-
ate at today's rent figures.
The two sides will be aired
Thursday, September 25th.

Stanley Webster Of Exchange, Will
liam Becker of the Lions and Mr..
Greve of Kiwanis.
The workers are checking the
poll books, making lists of ad-
dresses from which no regis
tration is listed. They then will call
at each one of these addresses and
urge the residents to register.
They will remind them that they
can register on Special Registra-
ton Day, Tuesday, September 18th
at their own precinct booth any,
time from 1000 a. m. to 200 p. m.
or from 400 p. m. to 900 p. M; or
at the Board of Elections, 1000
Superior ave. on or before Septem-
ber oath.
Just how many potential regis
trations there are in East Cleve-
land is undetermined. However, a
little calculation on already an
nounced 1850 census figures is in
teresting. Already announced are
statistics on cities $4,000 popula-
ton or over. Cities under that clas-
sification, which would include
East Cleveland with it's 40047 1850
census population, have not as yet
been notified Of their own number
Of 2l-yeaf ODDS or over.
However, the number Of persons
of voting age in the larger cities
is about two-third of the popula-
tions. Cleveland with its 914,90S
population for instance, lis t s
614,88S persons over 21 years of
age.
Assuming that the same proper
tion would hold in the 10000 class
cities, East Cleveland with it 40,047
population might have $4,000 per-
sons Of voting age. Checking this
probable figure with the 1924
persons registered for the 1862
May Primary, it would appear to
leave the startling figure Of 5000
non-registered voters.
But always, it is pointd QUE
by those who study these figures,
there must be taken into considera-
tion the number of aged or infirm
persons who no longer go to the
polls; persons whose length of
residence in a precinct does not
meet full residence requirements;
and that goodly numbers of stud
ents and other temporarily located
persons who cast their ballot in
their permanent home address pre-
cinct.
To VOTE in the November presi-
Dental election you must:
REGISTER if you have never
registered before in Ohio or if you
did not vote in 1850 or 1851.
You must TRANSFER your
registration on or before Septem-
Der oath if you have changed resi-
dence since the last time you voted.
REGISTER or TRANSFER at
the Board of Elections, 1000 Su-
perior ave.
The board is open from $3.50
a. m. to 4:30 p. m. Monday to
Friday and from $3.50 a. m. to noon
Saturday.
On Special Registration Day the
polls will be open from 1000 to
200 p. m. and from 400 p. m. to
900 p. m.
Register-then Vote.
