Robert Smith, Candidate for Mayor Of ChardOn
yLnts Wafer Traffic, Parking as Village Problems

Robert Smith, candidate for
Chardon's mayor In the fall
election, opposing Mayor Don
I'd G. Muchmore, today issued
"a statement outlining his plat
form.
Mr.. Smith said:
If am successful and am
elected to serve the Village o
Chardon in the office of mayor,
my first concern is to render
He best service possible to the
citizens of Chardon. My next
concern is to run the Mayors
office in an upright, just and
lawful manner and to offer to
the citizens Of Chardon a solu-
tion to the problems confront
ing them at the present time.
Yin the past we have had
many problems confronting the
officials of the village and some
of these have been solved quite
successfully, while others still re-
main unSolved. The problems
which appear to be still with
Us and which cause much con
tcern are the parking situation
in the business district, increas-
ed traffic on our main streets,
and the periodical shortage of
water.
IF I am elected I propose
to tackle all of these aforemen-
Aned problems together with
the council and the proper au-
thorities concerned. I feel that
the solution to these problems
should not be a temporary mea-
sure, but that they should be
approached on a long range
type of plan so that the final
T4Sult will not be adequate for
Geauga record. [volume] (Chardon, Geauga County, Ohio) 1952-1962, 1953-10-15

next year but will suffice for
years to come. / don't advocate
rushing into these solutions
which might result in a high
cost to the taxpayers, but to
plan them in such a manner
that they could be made in
successive steps with a final re-
suit which would prove adequate
for many years.
The Parking Problem
THE meter plan of parking
put into operation some time
ago seems to be operating fair
ly successful, at least it provides
available parking for shoppers
coming into Chardon. But our
method of treating violaters of
overtime parking has aggravat-
ed some shoppers to the extent
that they have indicated they
will not some back into Char
don to shop. This situation is
bad for our business men who
wish to hold all the customers
they have. I feel that we In
Chardon should institute some
type of courtesy system for
shoppers similar to the pl an
now operating In Painesville
The mayor, council, and busi-
ness men could work together
on this venture and, devise a
plan which would promote
much better feeling b t W e n
shoppers and the Village of
Chardon.
Ito obtain considerable more
non meter parking space
which we badly need to ac-
comodate business men, their
employees, office people, and
others, 1 feel that we can OBJ
tain this by the following me-
thodS. First, the village officials
must join with the Chamber of
Commerce in developing the
Chambers project of providing
a parking lot close to the buSi- |
ness district, and second 1 feel
that future arrangements could |
be made to widen East Park |
street to allow for diagonal |
parking on the east side of the
street.
The Traffic Situation
During certain times of the
lay, traffic on our main streets
S almost hazardous and this
will continue to get worse as
more and more autos are being
Geauga record. [volume] (Chardon, Geauga County, Ohio) 1952-1962, 1953-10-15

until the time that Chardon has
doubled or tripled in size.
In conclusion, wish TO state
that I am of the opinion that
If Chardon is to grow and pros
per, as some prominent fore
casters indicate this area will
in the next ten years, we must
provide more room for expans
ion In our village. We definite
ly need our present zoning reg
ulations oyerhauled and modern
lied. We need more room for
industry, more room for COM
mercial ventures, and last but
not least We need a large in
crease in residential areas. A
successful solution to this ex-
panSion problem will result In
a larger more prosperous Char
don which I am sure we all
want to see become a reality.

Scheduled for public display for

reaching improvements in Chev-

W. f. Fish, general sales man
ager Of the company, bases a
forecast Of a record turnout on
three significant factors
First, reports Of Chevrolet
development work around Detroit
have kindled more interest than
N any previous model said Mr..
Fish. Secondly. dealers are eX-
pending more money and effort
10 make the event success.
"A third reason for anticipating
large crowds is that dealers are
extending their Introductory per-
iod over two days. Traditionally
Chevrolet has displayed new
models, Saturday BY unveiling
the 1858 cars, Friday dealers will
have two days to be hosts to the
public before the Sunday closing ("
Mr. Fish added that highway
demonstrations will play a more
important part than in former
announcements because of the
number Of added performance
features in the new cars.

that he had been wounded in the

caused by the wound and dlsuse

Then, Mi Land ventured the
ether IF He noticed fur and
flesh caught in the 20-polnt rack
On the deer's head. so he guessed
that the buck had been chased
the day before. For that reason,
the deer might have been tired
and stiff, Mr.. Land said
If it hadn't been for these two
reasons. Blue would never have
had a chance With the buck he
said.
But these circumstances were
present, and Blue did kill the
deer and that's the story.
