wood rd., while attending Kirk Jr.

vived by his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.

East C|eveIands Overall Tax Rate
Is Second Lowest In Cuyahoga County

est with 6.8., while Parma and
Euclid tie with rs mills.
There are 26 school districts
within the county. Of these Bay
Village has the highest school tax,
21.2O and Berea with its 09.20 is
the lowest. The East Cleveland
Caledonia portion of the East
Cleveland School District, which
lies within the municipality of
Cleveland Heights, and the East
Cleveland district have the same
rate, 1890 mills. That little Sec
ton in the northwest corner of
tht city which is in the Cleveland
School District for geographic rea-
sons, pays 1910. Only four school
districts carry a smaller tax than
East Cleveland.
Whenever tax rates are being
discussed, it is we'll to remember
that East Cleveland does not carry
extra taxes in the way of special
assessments. The entire cost of
city operation and maintenance is
included in the one tax figure.
Many communities place all sewer,
water, etc. assessments as an extra
charge and bill it accordingly.
To get a picture of the full tax
rate in such instances, the assess
ment figure must be added to that
city's tax rate, whatever it may be.

effective by cooperative effort.

City Holds
To Roorniinq


Something new in the way of
appeals sweetened the meeting of
the Zoning Board of Appeals
meeting Tuesday morning. There
wasn't a dissenting vote when
Clayton Langehag, new proprietor
of the Swedish Home Bakery,
14468 Euclid ave-, requested per-
mission to operate evening classes
to demonstrate the art of cake
decorating. Glasses will be limited
to IL persons, each.
The city froze all rooming house
listings as of August, 1916 since
which time no new permits have
been issued. To receive the ap-
proval of the board, therefore, any
request coming before the Zoning
Board of Appeals must concern
either a rooming house operator
or rooming house address listed
prior to that date.
The Board also
CONTINUED an appeal presented
by Mrs. Howard Crosby request
ing an increase in rooming
house license for property at
14620 Terrace Road from eight
roomers to twelve roomers.
APPROVED an appeal presented
by John J. Cassidy requesting
permission to store one ambu-
lance in the rear of 1880 Orin-
oco Avenue at Memorial Auto
Livery.
GRANTED an appeal presented by
Samuel c. Nicholson requesting
transfer of existing rooming
house license for third floor
suite at 14116-18 Bardwell Ave.
CONTINUED an appeal presented
by Allen Madorsky requesting
permission to erect a medical
center on land fronting on the

Y Mothers Call All
Former Members To
Silver Anniversary

committee of the 1853 'Y' Mothers
to be known this month as the
"Y Mother Footlighters" will
present skit in story and song
in which the trials and joys Of
the past 25 years will come to
light.
1t is hoped that the recounting
of past Mother-Son Banquets,
County Fairs, drives, and the like
will stir fond memories in the
minds of the early members and
bring deeper sense of apprecia-
tion of what has been done for the
present members.
Strangely enough the member
ship in this group is not limited
to mothers of boys-but to any
woman interested in boys and their
welfare.
Mothers who have served the
club as president during the %
years are: Mrs. F. w. Sheppard,
Mrs. Catherine Walker, Mrs. G. C.
Pickerel, Mrs. Carroll Brown,
Mrs. Grace Wright, Mr.. Edward
Arm, Mrs. C. w. Custer, Mrs. NJ. r.
Reed, Mrs. Peter Neale, Mrs. R.
NJ. Rice, Mrs. Swift Lowry, Mrs.
A. P. Herrick, Mrs. J. B. Austin,
Mrs. ]. F. Keyes, Mrs. N. F. Leist,
Mrs. Lester Sleinkofer, Mrs. G. NJ.
Reazer, Mrs. George Wagner who
will preside at the silver anniver-
sary session.
Mrs. Pickerel now resides in
Belem, Para, Brazil.
The first YMCA rooms in East
Cleveland were rather crowded
quarters on the second floor of
the Beersford Building, and the
Y program was of necessity limit
ed by the inadequancy of the ac-
comodations.
A few mothers, Mrs. Edward
Arm, Mrs. Carroll Brown, Mrs.
Brice Ketchum, Mrs. William Grif-
fifth, Mrs. F. w. Shepard and Mrs.
Catherine Walker decided it was
time for the mons to take hand.
They became the charter mem
bers of the East Cleveland Y
Mothers Club. Of these members,
Mrs. Arm still remains active
lending her experience and en-
thusiasm to today's stepped up
program as she did in early days
of the struggling group.
Much of the progress of the local
YMCA branch must be credited to
the continuing service of it's moth
ers.

Thieves Get
Big Loot
'AtDiannonds

Police are investigating the theft
of $1,933.37 from Joe Diamonds
Mems Shop, 1860 Euclid ave. at
7:10 p. M, Saturday, April 4th.
The money included $3.50 belonging
to Mr.. Diamond, and the balance
was the days receipts.
Mr.. Diamond told police he had
taken the cash from three drawers
in the register to the office on
the rear balcony, counted it, left
it on the desk and returned to the
first floor. With his clerks, they
checked the fourth register drawer
and he returned to the office. The
money was gone.
Mr.. Diamond thinks someone had
either hid in the rear of the store,
or entered a rear door near the
stairway leading to the balcony.
The loss is partially covered by
insurance.
Four youths, aged Is to 16 years
of age, have been released to
Cleveland Heights authorities by
local police in connection with the
theft of $3.50 from the Unger Bak-
cry, 1881 South Taylor rd., that
city.
Three of the boys were turned
over to East Cleveland police by
a foods store manager who be-
came suspicious when they sought
to exchange a goodly amount of
loose change into bills. Police then
picked up the fourth member of
the group.
The boys told police that two of
them stood guard while the other
two entered the bakery through
a side door, and took the money
from the register.
The Standard Oil Co. station.
Euclid and Lee rd. was entered
during the night of April 3rd and
missing is $3.50.
A screen was removed Saturday
night from a rear door at the
Scott Stores, adjacent to the
Mems Shop. No entry was made.
