.Geanyga Has Surplus Of
GonernmentalAgencies

In terms of population, il
amounts to 1872 governments
per 10000 people. This was
more than the average else
where in the United Sta t e S,
where there were IA agencies
per 10000 people. In the East
North Central States it wa S
81 per 10000.
Throughout the country, the
report shows, there are 116, TAB
governing bodies from county
level down. This number rep
reSents a 25 percent reduction
achieved over a period of ten
years through consolidation
and eliminations. Most OF it
was due to the liquidation of
school districts. Special d S =
tricts, on the other hand, such
as operate specific local pro-
jectS or facilities, have increas-
ed in number.
In Geauga county, in tn e
decade, the number of govern
ments has decreased 8 percent.
Nationally, local governments
now have on their payrolls
some 10000 workers, or one
out of every fifteen employed
people. They receive $11.3 bill
lions a year in pay.

Make Final Plea for "Yes'' Vote for Munson School

cent land, which is not avail
able.
III. Next we wondered if it
would be possible to build a
complete new school on h e
present site. This was ruled
out because:
a. The wider rear portion of
the present school property is
unsuitable for building because
of the steep drop off.
b. There is no level play
area, and a good portion of
the present play space, which
is inadequate right now, would
have to go into the building.
w. In addition to the above
reasons for not using the pre-
sent site and building, t h S e
facts apply to all three plans:
a. The savings usually at
tendant with adding to an exist
ing building would not apply
in this case because of t h e
poor condition and inadequacy
of the present heating, waste
disposal and water supply
systems, all of which would
have to be replaced.
b. Regardless of plan there
would still exist at the present
site.

l. Highway hazard, which
increases with each extra child
in school.
2. Poor bus approach.
3. Inadequate parking faci-
litieS.
4. Inadequate playground.
5. No room for future ex-
pansion; this is especially i'm
portant as will be seen in the
next topic.
V. Our next step was to con-
slider school population in Nun,
son. Do we really need a new
school? Committee members
dug into records and the fol
lowing facts emerged:
a. In the past eight years
the MunSon school population
has almost tripled.
b. In September 1945 t h e
school had 40 children; by Sept
ember 1858 the number h a d
grown to 113 school children.
C. We saw from the above
figures that Munson along
with the rest of the Unit e d
States was feeling the terrific
population growth that started
in 1945. Since that date h e
birth rate has steadily increas-
ed. The number of pre-schooI

MUNSON - This week let
ters from the Committee for
Betterment of MunSon school
are being distributed personal
ly to voters of the M u n S o n
school district by the com
mittee members.
The letter is a summary of
the study of the school Situa-
ton which has been made by
the committee. Frank Fink is
chairman of the committee and
Mrs. Charles H. Harris h
served as publicity chairman.
Following the letter is re-
printed in full.
Dear Friend and Neighbor,
In our last letter we promis-
ed to present a summary of
the facts, gathered by GU r
subcommittee, upon which our
conclusions have been reached
This is an attempt to summer
ize those findings. So much
material was gathered that it
is impossible to present it all
here, but we will do the best
we can.
Perhaps it would be best to
start with the reasons that de-
cided the committee as a whole
to work for a new school on
a new site.
1. We first investigated tn e
idea of remodeling the pre-
sent structure and found:
a. The building would have
to meet State Code require
mentS.
b. In order to meet these
requirements it would be nee
essary to acquire additional
land adjacent to the S h O o |.
This land, we learned, is not
available.
c. All of the architects, with
one exception, who have met
with the School Board in the
past year, feel that remodeling
the old school is a risky prop
oSition. There are too many un-
forseen obstacles, as any of you
who have done any remodeling,
know. One problem leads to
another.
II. We then went into til e
question of adding onto tn e
present school and again, the
facts decided us against this
solution. We found that:
a. A masonry firewall be-
tween the old and new build
ings extending upward above
both sections, as required by
the State Code, would be both
costly and unsightly.
b. The minimum separation
of 80 feet between the old and
new building, as an acceptable
alternative to the firewall was
impossible because the present
school property is only 100 feet
wide at the front and would
require the purchase of adja-

Especial to the Geauga Record)

Especial to the Geauga RecOrd)
NEW YORK, April 26 - A
special study undertaken by
the Department of Commerce
covering every section of the
United States, shows that there
are more units of government
in operation in Geauga county
relatively, than in most coun,
ties.
These governing agencies, in
the form of school districts,
sanitary, water and fire dis
tricts, and incorporated towns,
villages and cities, from tn e
bedrock of democracy. w h a t
happens at this level, be it a
decision on a new bond issue
for schools or money for an
irrigation district, effects t h e
local citizen intimately. What
happens in Washington is i'm
portant, of course, but m
remote.
In Geauga county, the sur
vey shows, there were 38 gov
ernmental units as of January,
1858. They consisted of t h e
county government itself a n d
those of S municipalities, 16
townships, Is school districts
and one special district.

children in MunSon today is 1913.
Since this is a conservative
figure and does not take into
account the people moving into
MunSon or the building pc r
mitS issued for new dwellings,
we feel that we will need all
the school room we can get.
VI, 1t seemed important to
know what would happen to
our tax structure if we u t
sat tight and did nothing, that
is, did not pass the Bond Issue
and left things as they are to-
day. We thought that the Sup
erintendant of schools would
have the answer and so a COM
mittee member was sent to see
Mr.. Schofield. Mr.. Schofield
pointed out that we have the
lowest school tax in Geauga
county and told us that:
a. Increased enrolment would
neceSSitate:
l. Double sessions wit h
greatly increased operating cost
and inferior education for the
child.
2. Splitting the Nuns
school district with one h alf
going to West Geauga and
taking on its tax rate of 21.4
millsX, the other half going to
Chardon School District and
assuming its tax rate of 20.9
mills.X
The catch to this, as Mr..
Schofield pointed out, is that
neither of these systems could
absorb the greater portion of
the MunSon school children and
only the overflow would go to
Chardon or West Geauga. The
rest would still be using the
old school. We would then be
paying higher taxes, and be-
cause we would be part of
these larger systems, have very
little voice or say in the run
ming of the school.
b. Both West Geauga and
Chardon are planning to ask
for more funds in the n ear
future, West Geauga voting in
June 1854 for an additional
levy. AS part of these systems
our taxes would again be rails
ed automatically and the town.
ship would have nothing to
show for the increase.
tx This is school tax only,
not total taxi.
After reading this we hope
that you will decide with us
that you would like to keep
our school in Munson, that you
would like to have a real part
in running it, and that the
best buy for our children, for
us, and for our hard earned
tax dollar is a New School, on
a New Site.

Hold )
in Geauga
for Burglary

Louis George Zak OF N W.
bury was arraigned Tuesday on
charges of breaking and enter
ing. On charges of burglery in
the county, Zak was bot n d
over to the Grand Jury on a
$4,000. bond and for charges OF
burglary in the Village Of Char
don he was bound over to the
Grand Jury on a bond of $500.
Two early Saturday robber-
les, one in Chardon, the other
in Munson, started inveStiga
ton by police and the Sheriff's
department that resulted in
clearing up three other robber-
les in Geauga county, all serv-
ice stations, and a garage in
Orwell, officers say.
Chief of Police John B oh l
and Sgt. Walter B o ok m n
were called to Tee Pee Motors,
525 Water ST., when the report
it had been burglarized was re-
ceived.
The sheriff's department had
been notified of the breaking
and entering at Kick Kazsuk
garage on Route 322 in Fow-
lerS Mills.
At this garage, the burglars
broke a small window, reach
ed through and unlocked
swinging window. A window
was pried open into the office.
One hundred dollars was taken,
it was reported.
At Tee Pee Motors, a small
window was broken, and by
reaching through, a door was
opened. Police said that $50.
worth of tools, SO in cash, set
of seat covers and auto parts
were taken.
Chief Boil and Sgt. Book
man obtained a list Of persons
who had been there recently
and were interested in some Of
the names. Before interviewing
these persons, Chief BOIL and
Bookman were of the opinion
that a deputy sheriff m i G h t
know them and he was asked
to accompany them.
Looking over the foWlers Mills
garage, they saw the a m
technique for entrance had been
used. In fact the same opera
ton was used in the previous
robberies over a period of many
weeks, in which money an d
auto parts were the chief OBJ
jects.
The officers later in the day
uncovered a large amount Of
loot, resulting in the apprehen-
sion of a Newbury youth, 18,
and Juvenile. A third juvenile
is being sought. The NeWbury
youth was expected to be
brought before Mayor Donald
Muchmore in police court to-
day. TIL sheriff's department
investigator and police identi-
fled much of this loot of mer7
chandise and tools as taken in
the series of robberies.
The other Geauga robberies
were at the MalcoI NIB oorn
garage in Middlefield, Geauga
Implement Co. at Burton, larg-
est, with a loss of $4,000 worth
of merchandise; Grennan Serv-
ice Station, Route 322 in Mum
son.
Chief Boil said today he had
issued warrants for the arrest
of the trio.
This is the second robbery
within a year at Tee P e
Motors. In the first $4,000 in
cash was stolen.
Horn Flying school at Cha
grin Falls Airport in B n
bridge was broken into early
Saturday. A hole was made in
the door large enough for a
hand to reach through and turn
the lock. A locker was pried
open and $40 in cash taken.
A similar robbery was there
two months ago.

it taken care of now.
Tickets may be purchased
