Traffic Count Shows
Change In State Areas

Traffic on Delaware highways is
believed to be following different
routes from that used in the I'M
mediate preceding years.. judging
from the traffic count report of the
Traffic and Planning Division oi
the State Highway Department for
the month of November.
This report indicates decreased
traffic on ali but two highways
where permanent traffic counting
stations are maintained in COM
parison with the month of Novem-
ber of last year, but at the same
time the number of motor vehicles
registrations show an increase and
the receipts for motor fuel taxes
also show an increase over the
month of November of last year
The two main highways record
ing an increase in traffic were U.
S. Route 202, the Concord Pike, at
a point north of Talleyville, which
this year was completed as a di-
vided highway, and U. S. Route 113,
at point north of Milford
The increase along the Concord
Pike was 3.69 per cent with the
daily average of vehicles counted
being 1886, an increase of 385
over November of last year, and
the largest single day was We'd
nesday, November 27, when 1855
vehicles were counted
An increase of 2.92 per cent was
recorded along U. S. Route 113
with the daily average of vehicles
counted being 5,612, an increase of
159 over November of last year,
and the largest single day was
Friday, November 20, when 7,019
vehicles were counted.
The decrease recorded along u.
S. Route 13, at a point north of
Smyrna, was 615 per cent, with
the daily average of vehicles count
ed being 11,493, decrease of 753
over November of last year, and
the largest single day was We'd
nesday, November 27, when 1852
vehicles were counted.
Along u. S. Route 40, at point
west of Bear, the decrease was 5.26
per cent with the daily average of
vehicles counted being 20,770, a
decrease of 1,153 over November of
last year. The largest single day
was Wednesday, November 27,
when 30,791 vehicles were counted.
The decrease along U. S. Route
13, at point south of Greenwood,
was 1.16 per cent with the daily
average of vehicles counted being
5,544, a decrease of SIS over Novem-
Der of last year. The largest single
day was Friday, November 20,
when 6,967 vehicles were counted.
No traffic count was available
for the Kirkwood Highway be-
cause of construction work along
that route and the traffic counting
station, located east of Newark,
was out of service.

Postmaster General
Tells Of Dividend

Postmaster General Arthur E.
| Summerfield announced this week
the Post Office Department has re-
ceived a dividend of $55,054.14 from
the 1857 900 blanket" bonding con-
tract covering its employees during
1856 and 1857.
Public Law 323 of the 84th Con-
gress, 1st session, enabled the Post
Office Department, among other
executive agencies, to obtain and
pay for the surety bond covering
its employees. This legislation was
proposed to Congress by Mr.. Sum-
merfield in early 1855 and was
signed August 8, 1855.
Under the surety bond program,
the Post Office Department con-
tracts with an insurance firm,
through competitive bidding, for a
blanket bond which covers all of
it's employees. The Departments
personnel totals about half a mill
lion regularly, but-including turn
over from such causes as retire
ment and designations and tempor-
ary seasonal employment - the
bonding contract has covered up
wards of 100000 individuals year
on the Departments rolls.
Before the 1856 act, a postal en-
ployee was required to furnish his
own bonding individually, and to
pay the costs himself. This has run
as high as approximately $50 for
some postmasters.
The new program, which went
into effect under a policy that
started January 1, 1856, not only
relieves all personnel of bonding
costs, but it has drastically reduc-
ed the cost to the Postal Service
connected with bonding. Before
bonding, the administrative costs
involved in the paper work of hand
ling bonding records and proceed
ures was estimated at more than
$1,000 annually.
The original bonding contract
was let in the fall of 1856, under
competitive procedures, to the Lib
erty Mutual Insurance Company.
The cost of coverage for the two
year period, from January i. 1856,
through December 81, 1857, inclu-
sive was 1857, ,000-a little more
than so per cent of the previous ad-
ministration costs alone.
The bid was let on the basis of
the lowest price offered for blanket
coverage without regard to whether
there would be a dividend, although
it was recognized there might be
such a return. Now in addition to
the other savings, the blanket bond
ing program has provided the large
dividend.
A check for this amount was pre-
sented recently by representatives
of the Liberty Mutual Insurance
Company to Assistant Postmaster
General Hyde W. Gillette, head OF
the Post Office Departments Bu-
reau of Finance.
A new contract has also been
won by the Liberty Mutual firm, in
competitive bidding. for a new
two-year period, to begin January
1, 1858, and extend through Decern-
ber 81, 1859.
This latest contract is for $4,000.
Before the contract was let, the
Post Office Department mailed out
advertisements in early October.
1857 advising approximately ITO
insurance companies listed by the
u. S. Treasury as eligible to handle
such a contract for the Government
of this competitive bidding oppor-
tunity. The bids were opened in
mid-November, and we're let several
days ago, following analysis.

county plan, planners recon-
mend.
Until more far reaching sol
utions can be developed, they
reported; zoning, health and
building code provisions and en-
forcement measures should be
implemented.
There are two major eXcep-'
tions to spreading of Cleveland
into Geauga." They are the
development around Bass Lake
and development of a mixed
quantity around Punderson Lake
State Park.
The latter appears to be more
rapid Of the two and involves
serious problems of conversion
of seasonable housing and be-
ginning of undesirable strip
commercial dev elop ment"
which could detract from the
State parks development as a
fine regional recreation facility"
they reported.
The zoning resolutions in
Geauga townships are rather
loosely drawn, planners said.
All Of them are more or less
similar in form and content.

none of them are based on a

Land Use Survey Report Submitted to
Geauga County Planning Commission

Adoption of a comprehensive
county plan to serve as guide
to all private and public i'm
provements has been recon-
mended to the Geauga Planning
Commission.
A report to this effect after
several weeks of study has been
filed by survey committee of
top Cleveland planning experts,
James M. Lister, Allen Fonor-
off and Kermit C. Parsons.
The comprehensive county
plan embraces land use, for
proposed residential, retail, in
dustrial and public land includ-
ing density of development and
provides a guide to the amount
of land needed for various uses.
1t includes a thoroughfare plan
for proposed major and second
ary roads; community facilities
for public recreation, schools
and buildings, and a water and
sewer plan.
Urban Growth
Geauga is experiencing impact
of major urban growth. Two
major trends of industrial and
urban expansion appear domin-
ant in Northeastern Ohio. The
lake plain from Cleveland to
the Pennsylvania border and the
area southeast of Cleveland to

Continuing subdivision with
out consideration of street wild
enings and new through streets
could create serious traffic prob
lens, or later widenings that
will probably be more costly and
adversely affect residential uses,
the report says.
Population changes in Geauga
indicate importance of the auto
in its growth. From 186O-l93O
population was between I4,5OO
and $500. In 1910 it was 49,
430 and in 1850, 26,646. Indica-
tions are it will reach 10000 to
$4,000 in 1860. 1t could be 1OO,-
600 in 1870.
S catered 'SIums'
There are scattered locations
in Geauga areas of deteriorat-

ing development and rural
slums. One south of Chagrin
Falls in cambridge is the most
seriously blighted of these areas,
planners reported.
There are, especially west and
southeast of Hambden, areas of
dilapidated housing and enyir-
onmental conditions which, If
not slum, are tending strongly
In that direction, they said.
The steps which must be TAX
en- to eliminate these conditions
and prevent recurrence are ex-
tremely difficult, it was said.
Another serious and increas-
ing problem is conversion of
seasonal housing into year round
use. Studies of these problem
areas should be a part of the
Geauga record. [volume] (Chardon, Geauga County, Ohio) 1952-1962, 1957-05-23

Whether the planning COM

that a resident planner immed-

officials Of the area. This was
recommended.
1t was also recommended that
so far as possible, the planning
job be financed from public
funds.

Youngstown. The Ohio turnpike
attracts industry and accom-
panying residential growth.
While these lines of expansion
do not cross Geauga County,
proximity and accessibility to
work areas of Cleveland are
important to future land use
trends, the report says.
This generalized picture of
regional trends by no means
delegates Geauga to the role of
the "dormitory of Northeastern
Ohio" it continues. There can
and should be industrial devel-
opment in Geauga of firms
which do not rely heavily on
the near transportation arteries,
the planners say.
The intensive building and
subdivision in western half of
the county is due to spreading
out of the Cleveland metropol-
itan area. There are 110 sub
divisions. Total lots is $3.50
Chester has 1,340, Russell SIC,
Chardon 4O4, cambridge 291,
Burton 288, Newbury 259, Mum
son 228.
While much OF the current
subdivision is "good to excel
lent" there are marked excep-'
tions where problems of future
road connections and consider
alton of typography are not
fully considered, they report.
There should be major con-
cern about future street pattern
especially in the urbanizing area.
If present trends continue, those

oped, the commission can assist

Developing Human
Resources Subject
OF Rotary Address

To develop our human resources,
develop and educate our popu-
lation, unity our efforts and work
out our problems in cooperation
these were some of the response
bilities that citizens of the county
have in improving economic con-
ditions in Garrett county, as told
to the Oakland Rotary club last
Friday evening by Merle Garletts.
Northern High school instructor
Mr.. Garlctts took a scrutinizing
look at the county's picture in agri-
culture, mining, manufacture,
wholesale and retail, construction,
and numbering and pointed out
how the people of the county
could do something about all Of
them. He declared that agriculture,
main source of income and employ
ment, needs better trained and
skilled operators and managers as
never before.
He declared that too many Of
our farmers are self-satisfied not
interested in supplementing their
income" He felt also that the dairy
industry was rapidly becoming a
big operation and that the county.
where grass grows abundantly
would be ideal for increases in
dairy herd production.
He suggested this could be done
by a unified effort for merchants.
car dealers, bankers, teachers, agri-
cultural leaders, extension service,
soil conservation and credit agen-
cies. He said it had been shown
that a COW producing 1000 pounds
of milk shows a profit only one
half as much as a COW producing
10000 pounds of milk. He urged
wide use Of the artificial breeding
association and DHIA services al
ready set up to help improve dairy
herds.
He said the same program could
be used to expand the broiler in
dustry. He also touched on i'm
proved practices for forestry man
agcment, recreation, development
of crafts as a part time employ
mcnt for a great number of people
with the products being sold to
tourists and vacationists through
gift shops.
Mr.. Garletts revealed That sever
al groups in the county were study
ing the possibilities of raising the
economic level of the county, citing
