These are the channels through
which the East Cleveland March

In East Cleveland

Good n neig h bors make godo
neighborhoods and good neighbor-
hoods make good community. Mr..
and Mrs. Dominic Donate are NOV
ing from Mortified ave. to Cali
fornia and their neighbors gave
them a farewell party and a gift.
Nothing could be finer than such a
gesture, an expression of apprecia-
ton to a good neighbor. 1t hap
pens often in East Cleveland, re-
vealing the friendliness Of its resi-
dents and their gratitude for good
neighbors.
This columns request last week
that property owners promptly cut
weeds as an aid to hayfever suf-
ferers, brought comment aplenty.
One custodian reports that cOntin-
ued efforts to get the cooperation
of the cir landlord had failed.
Another call reported, II don't
know if it was the Leader or not,
hut some lots on our street were
cleaned up after Thursday"
The city is presently engaged in
the serious and rather expensive
business of eliminating a red algae
from the surface of Forest Hills
Park Lake. The algae is unsightly,
TO say the least.
But there is something equally
serious, equally unsightly beneath
the lakes surface, and as difficult
to explain. 1t is the presence of
discarded milk, beverage, pickle,
etc. bottles; food and food wrap
pings, newspapers and similar ref
use that has absolutely no place
in a lake in so beautiful a park.
Forest Hills Park is the loveliest
and most expensive gift ever be-
slowed on the city. 1t is ours to
use, to enjoy, to protect.
This uncalled for situation re-
veals an utter disregard for public
property. 1t is caused by the very
people who use the park-all free.
One wonders how they can be so
Indifferent, so negligible of a citi-
zen's responsibility to his commun-
ity.
The city will do something about
the algae. What are we going to
do about the lake?

Say City Atty.
Of Ferry Deals
BY jim coss

I'll make my statement
Tuesday night and it will be
a good one," City Attorney
J. Y. Porter said today in
commenting on a controver-
sy which has arisen over a
lease of city owned land at
the foot of Simonton st. to
the operators of the Key
West Cuba ferry.
Porter has been the butt of
considerable criticism from
city commissioners for rep
resenting both the city and
the ferry company in the
lease negotiations.
8 Terminal Site
The situation arose when city
officials learned that the ferry
company has started construction
of terminal building ON proper
ty leased from the Gulf Oil Co.
at the site of the old P. and o.
dock on Duyal Street instead of
the property leased from the city.
The city property win be used
as a parking lot.
Porter, who said that he will
make a full statement y at next
Tuesdays city commission meet
ing, freely admitted today that he
was counsel for the ferry company
during the negotiations.
"Nofhing irregular"
"There was nothing irregular a.
bout it - that's the way a lawyer
makes his living" Porter said.
He said that he still represents
the ferry company, the Caribbean
Ferry System, of Miami.
Porter added that he "did not
know" if he would submit his re-
signation as city attorney Tuesday,
in the face of reports that his oust-
ter is imminent.
He will postpone a two-week tour
of active duty in Miami as a lieu
tenant in the Coast Guard reserve
to appear at Tuesdays commits
sion meeting.
The current situation is the lat
est in long series of tiffs between
Porter and Mayor C. B. Harvey.
They have clashed openly on sew
