City Adjusts
Judge Salary
To New Law

In preparation for the new
Municipal Court which will be
operating here January 1st, sup
planting the present Municipal
Police Court, the City Commission
Tuesday evening amended the
Salary Ordinance to meet the re-
quirements for the new court as
set up in the Ohio's new regula-
tions governing such courts.
At present East Cleveland has
a Municipal Police Court, dealing
with cases brought before it
through the Police Department.
Two Justices of the peace handle
civil cases up to $500. The court
convenes Saturday mornings and
occasionally an evening. It's a part
time assignment for the presid-
ing Judge.
Under Ohio's new law, which
brings the new Municipal Court
to East Cleveland, the court will
have civil jurisdiction over all
cases up to $4,000. This will call
for full time Judge and added
court personnel. 1t also does away
with all Justices Of the Peace.
The amended salary ordinance
ups the salary of the Judge from
$4,000 to $4,000 year, and the
clerk of courts from $4,000 to
$4,000 a year. The county shares
in the cost of these salaries, pay
ing two fifths of the salary of the
judge and the clerk, under the new
law. Previously the county has
been paving $1,000 of the salary
of the judge and the clerk. and
$1,000 Of the salary of the direc-
tor of law, which is $3.50, and
remains unchanged. There is no
charge in the S2,400 salary of the
assistant prosecutor.
Under the East Cleveland char
ter, the director of law is also the
prosecuting attorney.
Judge Stanton Adams, who is
running unopposed for reelection
as Municipal Police Court Judge
at the November election. will be
the Judge of the new Municipal
Court. In taking over this assign
ment Judge Adams retires from
the private practice of law to give
all of his time to the Municipal
Court business.
"This action on his part will
mean personal financial sacri-
fice," states City Manager Chss.
A. Carran, "while lending to the
new court the wide experience and
the keen judgment which has
marked Judge Addams' tenure on
the Municipal Police Court" 1.
For himself, Judge Adams
states he is happy about the
new arrangement.

Carran S Public
Service Sparks
Plan

"The most noteworthy thing
about the City of East Cleveland" "
Judge Stanton Adams told the
East Cleveland Business and Pro-
fessional Women's Club Tuesday
evening, "is the record of public
service of its City Manager,
Charles A. Carran."
The statement was made in
answer to a question put to him,
when the club invited Judge Ad-
dams to be their speaker at their
first regular meeting of the fall
end winter The meeting, held in
Ovens Plantation, starting off
with a dinner.
"AIr. Carran has served East
Cleveland, first four and a half
years as Director of Finance and
almost So years SIS City Manager,
record unriyaled anywhere in
the United States. His administra-
tion has been characterized by OD
great administrative skill, (2) the
ability to inspire unselfish public
service, not only on the part of
paid municipal personnel but the
selfless public devotion of men
serving the office of City Com
missioner, T2) a devotion to the
public welfare which not merely
encompasses giving to the tax
payer the highest type of munich
ple service - at a minimum cost,
but the habit and faculty Of MAX
ing every decision in terms of the
public good.
This last habit Of deciding
things only in terms of the
public good being perhaps the
noblest characteristic of a most
unusual public servant.
"Urdoubtedly Charles Carran is
entitled to more than the lions
share of the credit for having made
the City Manager Plan a success
in East Cleveland, and an ex-
ample and inspiration to the seri-
Gus students of municipal govern
ment throughout the world. This
plan has been in operation here
almost 40 years, since 1918, hav-
ing been adopted by the voters
despite the bitter opposition Of
both political parties and all pro-
fessional politicians.
The East Cleveland City Mana
ger Plan, by the way, gave to the
women of East Cleveland a vote
in municipal affairs before it was
given anywhere else and before
the adoption of the 10th Amend
ment to the L. S. Constitution
which gave women the vote
throughout the country.
"Many are entitled to credit for
making this plan a success, but
it is Charles Carran who by his
patience and unselfish labor made
the plan more than live up to the
fondest expectations of its spon-
sors."
