Three Eddy
Road Lots
Re-zoned

A long and hotly contested zon-
ing issue came to a close Tuesday
evening when the City Commission
enacted legislation calling for the
rezoning of three properties at
the intersection Of Eddy I'd. and
East 131st ST., abutting the New
York Central Lines right-of-way.
The ordinance changes the Sec
tion from a light manufacturing
(U4) to a retail (U3) district, but
does not change the lot on which
Frank Korosec had planned to
erect a modern residence with an
attached combination garage-re-
pair shop. The permit for this
construction was issued prior to
the zone changing and remains a
nOn-conforming IA use.
Mr.. Koroseck opposed the re-
zoning which was favored by his
two neighboring property owners.
his business deals IN repairs Cf
refrigerators, etc, which would
not be prohibited in his IA zon-
ing.
Following the passing of the
ordinance Mr.. Korosec said he
was undecided about proceeding
with his plans. He already resides
and conducts his business on a
neighboring lot in the area.
The Commission enacted legisla-
tion continuing the reciprocal fire
fighting aid between East Cleve-
land and City of Cleveland under
the ordinance the city making the
call for fire equipment assistance
will pay a rate of S95 for the first
hour and S65 for the second hour
and succeeding hours and any ad-
ditional- incidental costs for this
service. The agreement covers a
three-year period.
East Cleveland has an agree
ment with Cleveland Heights but
it does not set up a charge rate.

to be flown from the tall flag pole
at the Post Home, 18403 Euclid
ave.
Mr.. Kress believes that it will
be a comfort for the family to
know that their own flag is flying
from the Post pole that day, and
that it will another way for the
Post to express it's service ideal
of honoring the dead by helping
the living.
Heretofore the flag has been dis
played at the place of the service

created a problem.
Now, the family will bring their
flag to the Post Home a few days
before it is to be flown from the

City Plants
New Varieties
Shade Trees

A total Of 207 shade trees are
being planted in the city's Spring
tree planting program. The trees
have been selected from recon-
mended varieties suited to urban
conditions and requirements, states
William Robertson, East Cleve-
lands own "tree man."
All of these trees, explains Mr.
Robertson, are recommended by
tree consultants of the National
Shade Tree Conference of which
he is member, and power COM
panies' tree experts.
Cities are now planting smaller
types of shade trees, averaging
% to 35 feet tall, varieties which
are now becoming available to the
public. They are of slower grow
ing variety, sturdy, yet beautiful
trees, Mr.. Robertson points out.
Ninety-two trees have been
planted. The other 115 are in the
process of being planted this week.
Chosen to add beauty to Belmore
I'd. from Euclid ave. to Terrace
ave. are Idaho Locusts, a lovely
tree offering a light, lacy shade.
1t has rose pink, flowers in June
and grows to about 25 feet. Both
sides of the long block are being
planted.
For Beaumont st. from Hayden
ave. to East 134th St., the Little
Leaf Linden is chosen. This lovely
tree bears yellow blossoms in the
Spring and later a small fruit
which, Mr.. Robertson says, gives
no trouble.
Chosen for smaller sections of
street paintings is the American
Hophornbean, a small trunk tree,
pyramid in shape and growing to
a height of about 25 feet. These
trees are going in on Coventry rd.,
Nelacrest and Elderwood ave.
A handsome, roundheaded maple,
named after Charles K. Irish, is
being used as a "fill in" here and
there about town, together with
a few Paul Scarlet Hawthorn re-
placements.
Together with the general clean
ing of parklands and Fairgrounds,
in preparation for summer enjoy
ment by the citizens, the lake in
Forest Hill Park is being given
special attention. The water has
been drained away and the lake
area, after drying, will be given
treatment which it is hoped will
overcome the fungi growth which
appeared on the water surface last
summer.

A Reminder. S.B. 263 is still in
committee. 1t is aimed to cut
library income and divert it into
municipal channels. Libraries have
ONE source of income, intangible
taxes. The bill would cut it as
much as $50. Just figure out
what that means to our East
Cleveland library - 65f6 less Of
everything right down the line
from service to employees. Want
to object? Write to the Hon. John
Corrigan. Cuyahoga County mem
ber of the Ohio Senate Committee.
Next Sunday is Mothers Day.
This means heavy traffic. Drive
carefully, warns Chief of Police
n. S. Weaver. Allow yourself
three hours for each hundred miles.
Then you need not hurry, won't be
hampered by delay, arrive at the
time planned.
With warmer weather coming,
the tendency to add even more lit
ter to the streets and sidewalks.
The next time you purchase an ice
cream bar or any other edible from
a roadside stand, or one OF the
stands about town, remember
tuck the wrapper into the waste
can. If there isn't a waste can
handy, suggest to the operator that
he provide one. The best location
in the nation must be neat from
litter.
Right now everyone is supposed
TO be observing Cleanup Week.
East Cleveland goes it 81 times
better, making it 52-week en-
deavor. This means that everyone
must do his part every week.
To be at home in all lands and
all ages; to count nature familiar
acquaintance and art an intimate
friend; to gain standard for the
appreciation of other mems work
and the criticism of your own; to
carry the keys of the worlds Ii
brary in your pocket, and feel its
resources behind you in whatever
task you undertake; to make hosts
of friends among the men of your
own age who are to be leaders in
all walks of life; to lose yourself
in generous enthusiasms and CO.
operate with others for common
ends; to form your character under
able and devoted teachers-this is
the offer of the college for some
of the best years of your life.
