State Auditor James A. Rhodes
today released the report of
examination of the West Geauga
Local School District. The audit
included all business activities
since the merger of Chester and
Russell districts into the West
Geauga district.
The school district owns three
school sites, the elementary
building at Russell, the element
ary building at Chesterland and
the new high school building
near CheSterland.
Records of the district were
accurately kept, according to
the examiner. The bonded debt
in March, 1857, was listed as
1888 900; the floating debt, $16,-
218.75. The districts bank bal
ance amounted to $318,S69.27,
with outstanding checks for $50
1918.
A summary of ,the building
account over a seven year per-
iod listed net receipts af ST.
O75, ,297 "a. Disbursements during
that period were $500, 190.67,
leaving a balance in the build
ing fund in March, 1857, Of
$275, ,106.97.
Examinations are conducted
periodically by the Bureau of

Of it is crushed. 1t was report
ed that one unidentified person
claims truck from the festival
hit it. Others believe rigorous
winter weather may have had
something to do with it. The
festival board probably will have
to stand repairs unless the truck
driver can be found, it was
said.
Council also has discussed the
matter. A committee, Robert
Smith, Don Muchmore and DR..
j. w. Meats, was appointed to
consult with council. This COM
mittee also will sound out coun-
Gil on the suggestion of the
four festival week-endS.
Under the will of Lotta Chap
man of Chardon, who died in
1882, she left $500, the income
to be used in upkeep of the
drinking fountain in the. park,
and if at any time it is aband-
oned, the income may be used
as the Civic Association or its
may deem advisable
for Identification of the park.

Bliss pointed out that the
Heller survey reflected only i'm
mediate emergency school hous-
ing needs. Rapid population
growth, particularly in metro
politan fringe areas such as
Geauga County, will create ad-
ditional situations were the de-
mand for buildings is beyond
local financial capacities.
Outside assistance is necessary
because local school districts
are limited, by recent legisla-
tive action, to a total tax rate
of nine per cent on each dollar
of property evaluation within
their districts.
The nine per cent tax rate
fails to provide sufficient con-
struction funds in most Geauga
school districts, Mr.. Schofeild
said.

on May 10, 1926, Brastein and
Rose Sedivy agreed to a COM
mon law marriage and were
for years known as husband and
wife in their community. There
was testimony that Rose Sedivy
used the name of BraStein on
greeting cards, money orders
and in her second admission to
the hospital.
Charles was shown to have
listed Rose as his wife on his
employment and pension appli-
cations and disqualification, and
a deed was executed by Rose
with BraStein releasing dover
as her husband.
Judge Ford ruled that the
relationship between Charles and
Rose was not that Of a COM
mon law marriage and Bras
tein is not the surviving spouse
of Rose Sedivy.
In his appeal to the higher
court, Mr.. BostWick claims the
judgment of the court was
against the weight of evidence
and the law, and that he has
discovered additional evidence.

Discuss Holding Maple Fete
4 Consecutive Sundays

The annual maple festivals
may win against snow storms
that have plagued some of them
especially the most recent ones.
1t was suggested that the
festival be held on each week

three consecutive days at the
annual dinner of the festival

Grange hall.
Such a plan, with outstanding
attractions on each Sunday, will
probably be discussed when the
festival board begins its regular
sessions in September.
Ture Johnson, president, was
in charge of the meeting. "A

Report States Geauga County
Schools Need 81 Million in
Outside Assistance by 1860

Geauga County schools will
need almost So million in out
side aid to finance school build
ing programs through 1860 or
the county's children will be
deprived of an adequate educa-
ton due to lack of school rooms. >
This declaration was made
last week by w. B. Bliss, ex-
ecutive secretary Of the Ohio
Education Association, and Sec
onded today by county school
superintendent Frank Schofield.
The estimate is based on an
official statewide survey of
emergency building needs fin
anced by the Ohio General AS
sembly and conducted in Nov
ember 1855 by Robert Heller
and Associates of Cleveland for
the state board of education.
LesS--than half of the funds
needed have been appropriated
by the state legislature, and
approximately one-third of the
appropriated amount is not like
ly to be available until 1860,
Bliss said.
The executive secretary said
federal school building aid has
become an absolute necessity"
to meet the emergency needs.
The Heller survey listed the
Geauga record. [volume] (Chardon, Geauga County, Ohio) 1952-1962, 1957-06-13

outside aid needed by school
districts in Geauga County, by
districts:
Consolidation of Chardon and
Hambden, $682 ,298.
West Geauga, 1886 ,098.
Consolidation of Newbury,
Burton, Troy and Claridon, $672,-
694.
Kenston, $248, ,499.
The two consultations were
also recommended by the Hell
Ter group. The surveyors have
recommended to the state board
that any outside help be with
held unil the mergers are eff
fected.
Representatives of the Char
don school district have conduc-
ted merger discussions with both
the Hambden and MunSon dis
trictS.

factors were a cost analysis of
materials and equipment start
ing with the manufacturers, dis
tributors, sub contractors, and
on up. A thorough study also
was made of structural systems
that could be employed, and
finally the consideration of local
trades and contractors.
Two kindergartens can be add
ed later to the building at a
cost of $4,000, under the arch
itect plans, and seven additional
rooms for $4,000.
The board also discussed pos
sibility of levy on the Nov
emoer ballot.
THE levy will be needed to
meet the $4,000 base salary
schedule recently approved by
the board of education said
Mr.. Garfield.
No action on this was taken.

School Building Issue
to Face Chardon Voters

Chardon Board of Education
recently moved to put on the
November ballot bond issue
for school building, declaring
it a necessity.
Amount of the bond issue is
not yet determined.
I'VE are faced with the prob
lem of expansion, said Ira
Garfield, superintendent. I'VE
must have additional claSsronms
a year from now. We would
build on the east side of Maple
Ave, north of the Baker res
idence, cheaper than anywhere
else.
Total bonding reserve of Char
don School District for 1857 is
S167 ,618.70. If $50, 900 is paid off
on obligations this year the re-
serve could be increased by
this amount, officials said.
Tax duplicate of Chardon
School District is S12, ,442 ,430, and
nine percent of the duplicate
81, ,ll9, ,818.70. Bonded indebted
ness by Sept. /, 1857, will be
$952, 200.
Average cost of building one
classroom, according to school
officials, is $25, 900.
Under a new type of construc-
ton, Bruce Huston and Assoc
iateS, of Willoughby and Char
don, showed plans whereby six
class rooms, toilet and main
tenance, can be built for $780,
600, and all purpose rooms and
offices for $4,000. The draw
ingS show the heating system
broken down in areas. Each
room has entrances to the cor
ridor and to the outside.
The board was impressed by
the low cost as compared to
the cost of previous construc-
ton.
The architects have come up
with the low cost by making
an intensive study of school con-
struction, it was said. The big

Receiving
Home Out
!inGeauga

A receiving home for children
is out in Geauga County
The Geauga Welfare Dept. Of
ficially has decided that sub
Sidized homes are far better"
and will use the plan.
Thirty-six questiomaries sent
to Sc Ohio counties asking eX-
perience with receiving homes
and subsidized homes were re-
ceived and carefully studied.
1t was found that only two
counties had experience with
subsidized homes. The system
was said to be so new it has
been tried little as yet.
James D. Lisle, Geauga well
iGare director, said today he had
consulted with state and national
authorities and they recommend
ed not to build a receiving home
but to develop foster homes.
1T has been determined that
for dependent and neglected
children who must be removed
from homes, it is a shock to
children to place them in an
institution because it SO so un-
like family living" said Mr..
LiSle.
I'VE need to place as little
strain on these children as pos
sible. 1t is better if they are
placed in a family like sit
uation as they are more used
to this sort of life" !" he said.
when we place a neglected
child in a public institution, we
tend to remove much of the
sSproblem from the attention of
the community, and we tend to
create in the community the
feeling that this is not the COM
munity responsibility. On the
other hand, if we use private
homes, we keep the child well
fare problem closer to the COM
munity, and the community is
more likely to realize that this
is a community problem and
not only of the welfare depart
ment.
Subsidized homes will be
more economical than building,
maintenance and operation of a
county receiving home. Money
is not the final determination
point as to which is best, but
ave can accomplish as much for
Aaese children at less cost and
We want to do it. Experience
indicates subsidized homes are
cheapest" Mr.. Lisle said.
1--WE would like to invite any
family in Geauga County, inter-
ested in devoting themselves to,
the service of these neglected,
children, to contact the welfare
department to discuss possibil-
ity of using their homes as
subsidized receiving home. We
will need several such homes.
"TheSe will have be be homes
that will be ready and willing
to accept children from all walks
of life at any time, day or
night.
4 "For making these homes
available, the family will be
paid a certain professional a
mount each month on sliding
scale according to the number
of children they can accommo-
date. We would expect. to keep
the children in these homes for
short periods until we can de-
termine what is the best plan
for each," Mr.. Lisle said.
