Regulate Subdivisions

The Geauga County Planning
Commission received a further
progress report last night from
the planning consultants who
have been making a land use
survey of Geauga County. Mr.
James w. Lister, chief consul
tant, pointed out that there has

Mr.. Lister pointed out that
one of the powers granted under
the law to Planning Commits
sions and County Commission
ers is the power to direct the
orderly development of sub-div-
isions. Mr.. Lister urged the
P aiming Commission and
County Commissioners to give
immediate consideration to a
code of regulations governing
subdivision development in the
county.
1t was also recommended to
the Commission that map
showing all existing highways
and roads in the county be pre-
pared as a part of the Com
missions overall plan for the
future. The Commission voted
to go forward on this project
at once. The final report of the
planning consultants will be
made to the Planning Commits
sion on May 13.
Mr.. William Burns, Chairman
of the County Commissioners
asked the Commission to direct
their attention to the county
jail problem. 1t was decided

NEW YORK - Among res
idents of Geauga County, the
automobile continues to hold a
place of great Importance in
the family budget. The local
picture, according to a nation
wide study of consumer spend
ing, shows expenditures for cars,
other automotive equipment and
supplies to be running at the
rate of So ,523 900 a year.
The size of this outlay, locally,
shows how necessary the car
has become in everyday life.
1t represents 30.5 percent of the
total amount spent in all the
retail stores.
This compares with only 26.8
percent in the United States as
a whole and with 27.7 percent
in the East North Central States.
Increasingly, people have
come to rely upon the car to
get them to work, to school and
to the stores. In the suburbs
and in rural areas, even more
so than in the cities, it has
become almost indispensable
Frequently, it is the only mode
of transportation available.
The expanding use to which
it is being put has benefited

Just how much it adds up to
locally is seen in data released
by Standard Rate and Data
Service for the fiscal year end

Senger cars, motorcycles, motor
boats and accessories came to
$6,371 900 in the year. The re-

oil, repairs and incidentals were

were not reported in the survey.
In terms of the individual
