Rounding the far turn and head
ing into the home stretch, the man
aging personnel of the East Cleve-
land Little Leagues, Inc. are aim
ing for a strong finish in their
efforts to make the First Annual
Amateur Day at Shaw Field on
Sunday, July 18th a highly sue
cessful one.
At least 1000 tickets must be
sold to assure the financial support
necessary to provide equipment for
the 500 boys who are playing base
ball this summer on local
diamonds.
1t should be considered a civic
duty of all East Clevelanders, and
especially the boys parents, to sup
port this worthy cause from which
so many boys will benefit.

Shaw Pool
Life Guard

For the third time this season,
Mary Ann Lee has proved her abil-
tiles as guard at Shaw Pool. On
Tuesday, the 15-yearold Shaw
High student dived into the pool
and brought to safety 11-year-old
Anthony Palieri. He is reported in
"fair" condition at Huron Road
Hospital.
Alert Mary Lee spotted the boys
body in the deep end of the pool.
She dived in, swan with him to
the POOLS edge and administered

BUSINESS until after his arrival at
the hospital.
Anthony is believed to have been
knocked unconscious in some still
undetermined way before he sank
to the bottom of the pool. Doctors
in attendance at the hospital re-
port neck injury.
Previously Miss Lee has rescued
a 13-year-old girl and a 14-year-

the pool.

zoning Change Up
To Commissioners

At a brief session Tuesday
morning, the board of zoning ap-
peals recommended the rezoning
that section of Luxor rd. now
given over to one and two-family
homes from a U-2 to a U-1. The
action brings into line the zoning
to conform to the status of dwell
ings already erected on the street.
The recommendation will come
before the City Commission where
it is expected to be approved.
The action grew out of the action
of the board a week earlier when
it reversed itself on a previous
motion approving, with variances,
the erection of a 4-suite apart
ment on Luxor. The owners of
that lot are now planning to erect
a one-family residence on it.

Re-Appraisal
Delays Filing
City Budget

Many taxing districts in the
county will not be able to file
their 1856 budgets by the July
10th deadline, due to the reap
praisal now underway by the Of
flee of the county auditor.
Concerned with what the final
figures are going to produce in
the way of a tax duplicate, COM
mittee from the Cuyahoga County
Mayors Association of which May
or Kenneth Sims, Euclid, is the
president, met Tuesday in a pre-
liminary session with County
Auditor John J. Carney and his
deputy, Louis Mitchell.
The members of this committee
are: Carl Ertel, mayor of Cleve-
land Heights, chairman; Cleve-
land Heights Finance Director, Ed
Schulz; East Cleveland Finance
Director, G. T. Apthorp; Tom
Cook of Shaker Heights and j.
Gordon Mckay, tax consultant for
number of taxing districts.
If the new tax duplicate is down,
states Mr.. Apthorp, a number of
municipalities and school districts
will face the need of special levies
to be voted this fall.
1t is expected to complete the
re-appraisals in Lakewood, Berea
and North Olmsted within the next
three weeks. Comparisons based
on their old and new duplicates
will serve as a guide to other
municipalities in what to expect
in the way of residential, CONNER
cial and industrial valuations and,
subsequent tax returns. Land and
buildings are being appraised
separately in this first property
by property" appraisal in 80 years.
The committee plans a second
meeting with Auditor Carney when
the re-appraisal has advanced to
a stage where comparisons will be
available.
Another complication for the
budget makers is the batch of new
laws effecting municipalities, en-
acted by the recent legislature.
Municipalities must need to know
just where they stand in refer
ence to these new measures which
deal with income from sources
other than local real estate valua-
tions.

Building A
Fence? Get
City Permit

Fence sales organizations are
being notified by the City of East
Cleveland that henceforth it will
be necessary to obtain a permit
from the City before any fence is
erected within the city. Permits
will be granted, without fee, fol-
lowing a check by the Building
Department of the application.
"This regulation" explains City
Engineer Malcolm S. Douglas, is
to be put into effect for the reason
that several fences have been
erected which do not meet the
requirements of the City ordinance,
and consequently, the owners have
been required to remove the illegal
fence.
"We recognize that this removal
has been hardship to the prop
erty owner" states the engineer,
"and one which can be avoided
in the future by having the City
Building Department first check
the application to see, before it is
erected, that the proposed fence
meets all requirements"
The application, explains Mr..
Douglas, should clearly state the
street and address or sublot on
which it is desired to erect the
fence. An accompanying sketch
should indicate the exact location
of the proposed fence, its height
and the type of materials to be
used.
If the application meets with
these ordinance requirements, the
permit will be issued. At the pre-
sent no fee is required for a fence
permit.

To date five persons have re-
sponded to the call for Picnic At
tendance. Next week all such
names received by Tuesday noon,
July 18th will be listed in next
weeks Leader. Thanks, ye five
picnickers.
Planning a vacation? Please re-
frain from leaving your trail lit
tered. We don't like it when
strangers come into our town, and
toss litter about on sidewalk,
street or Store. Let's keep high
ways and byways, and every other
place where we go, clean.
Unless cut down now, there are
lot of weeds about town that
will spell misery for hayfever suf-
fers all too soon. How about get
ting rid of them pronto.
The beetles are mere. Inc peSKy
insects which work havoc with
roses and other plants arrived on
time. The gardeners job Of crush
ing the pests and dropping them
into the soil is on.
"How far have you gone in
your building" a contractor was
asked. "We cut dbwa the trees and
graded" was the answer. "Cut
down the trees" is the phrase i'm
portant in this conversation. One
often wonders why lovely trees
must be lost during building. A
good tree is easily worth a thou
sand dollars to a property e.. it
rot only enhances the appearance,
but it serves as a wall against
noise and dust from the street. It's
natures own soundproofing device.
And yet, trees are ruthlessly hewn
down. Why can't building be
planned to conserve trees? Maybe
it's thoughtlessness. Maybe it's a
saving of dollar in construction.
Neither answer is sufficient to
offset the loss of a single good
tree.
