Two Long Time
Postal Employees
Discard Pouches

"What's the weather." The
answer to this question will not
be so important to two East Cleve-
land Branch post office employees
now as it has been for many years.
The men, both carriers, Frank
Federico of 1912 Braddock rd.
and Joseph Seelig, 1886 Penrose
ave., are retiring after years of
service to East Clevelanders.
Mr.. Federico, whose retirement
is effective January 18th, began
his postal service in the Collin
wood station June 10th, 1926. For
the past 27 years he has delivered
the mail in the district east of
Euclid ave. and Ivanhoe rd.
Mr.. Seelig worked his first
day and many days after April
10th, 1915 at the main office,
going on as a clerk to the 105th
st. Clair, Woodland and
Shaker Square offices before trans
ferring to East Cleveland where
he has been the carrier west of
Euclid-Superior for % years. His
resignation date is February 1st.
Both men are on vacation leave
at present.
Mr.. Seelig is planning a trip to
Los Angeles to visit a longtime
friend. After this he hopes to
travel to other parts of this great
country.
Mr.. Federico would like to spend
a few winter days in sunny
Florida.
To families whose mail boxes
are on the side of the house, Mr..
Seelig has special "thank you"
1t may seem a minor thing, but
to the mailman on an icy day such
a located box eliminates the climb
ing up and down of many an icy
step it also hastens delivery
in good weather, comments Seelig.

Carney reports changes in q Of
the 62 previously announced dupli-
Gates. These changes, he said, were
due to three causes: ~ rechecks;
(2) mistakes in original tabulations
and (3) additions for which values
had been missing.
One of the municipalities whose
duplicate figures were changed is
East Cleveland. The revised figure
gives a total tax duplicate for East
Cleveland municipal as $88, ,333, 1866
for 1856 compared to S83, ,720,756
in the 1856 collection. This is a 51k
per cent increase.
A breakdown of the new dupli-
cate carries the following estimates,
the 1866 total being shown, for COM
parson, in parenthesis: Real Estate
$685. $40 (S68, ,490,910); Public
Utilities $7,48O,240 (S7,2I2.O6Ol;
Tangibles S8,017,786 (SS,017,786).
It will be noted that the tangible
figures are the same for each collec-
tion. Since these figures have not
yet been announced, the same
figure is being used for 1856 esti.
mate as was received in 1856.
Two factors up the Real Estate
totals, % the estimated value of
building under construction at the
close of the year, and (2) the reap
praisal's differences. This break
down shows new buildings under
construction in East Cleveland car
ried valuations totaling S800,000
December 31st, presenting a 1:15
per cent increase. The re-appraisal
accounted for an increase of So
544, ,430, or $40 percent for a com
bined increase in the duplicate Of
$4,344.430.
However, the increase in the
duplicate does mean a flat in
crease in all the real estate values.
Rather, it is explained, the reap
praisal may lower values on some
properties and increase values on
other properties.
Just where each individual prop
erty stands in this equalization at
tempt, will be reflected in his own
tax bill. 1t may be up, it may be
down. All that the total figures
reveal is five per cent increase in
the total duplicate and a five per
cent increase in real estate valua-
tions as whole.
It its request to the county
budget commission, East Cleveland
asked for the same number of
dollars in the 1856 collection that it
received in the 1866 collection.
Under this request, and in the face
of an increased duplicate, it is be-
lieved that should there be any
change in the tax rate, it would pre-
sumably be downward.
All of these figures are for the
municipality only. No estimates
have been given as to the school
district figures.

City Reports
Inspection Of
Food Services

How often do you "eat out 2"
Are you aware that your local
government for the past two years
has been conducting a food service
establishment inspection program
in order to safeguard your health ?
This is the first of two articles
submitted by the East Cleveland
Department Of Health, and de-
signed to acquaint East Cleveland
ers with the detectives, methods,
and results of this program.
In 1853, the Ohio Legislature
passed a new law placing in the
: hands of the local Health De-
. partments the responsibility for
:. licensing and inspecting food serv-
: ice operations. However, the Ohio
Department Of Health retains
general supervision Of the pro-
gram by prescribing in detail the
very rigid type of inspections to
be made and also by prescribing
the forms to be used and the
license fees.
While safeguarding the santa
tion of eating establishments was
not new in East Cleveland, the new
laws provide for much more
thorough inspection. Therefore, ef-
forts have been concentrated on
obtaining the willing compliance
and cooperation of the owners and
managers. Even though some of
the owners were required, in ac-
cordance with these new state
regulations, to make large capital
outlays for remodeling, new equip
ment, and so forth, the degree of
cooperation has been high, states
DR.. James P. WinHler, director Of
Health.
By definition, a food service
operation means any place which
is kept or maintained for the pur-
pose of preparing or serving meals
or lunches for a consideration.
Exemptions include family units
and non-paying guests, dining or
sleeping cars, food-processing and
food-manufacturing establishments
and churches, schools, fraternal or
veterans organizations provided
that, in regards to the latter
group, meals or lunches are served
or no more than seven consecutive
s6ays or on no more than fifty
two separate days in any one cal
endar year.
All owners of food service
establishments are required to
apply annually for a license from
tho, :ity. All such licenses, no
ND sr when they are procured,
are legal until the end Of the
calendar year. The cost of these
licenses, which is used to pay for
the expense of the inspection, is
based on the seating capacity of
the establishments.
For a period Of time, all estab-
lishments paid a fee of $500 each |
year regardless Of the size of |
the place of business.

fective October IS, 1855, bases the
