In view of the citys stand
in prohibiting the moving Of
buildings across or along traffic
arteries within the municipal
ity, a policy which intervened
in the board Of education's plan
to dispose of five Of seven
houses to clear the Shaw-Ter-
race side for new construction,
City Manager Chas. A. Carran
is issuing the following policy
explanation:
Moving Of buildings entails
many details not at first ap-
parent to the public" comments
the City Manager who desires
to clear up any misunderstand-
ing in the matter.
at is not always realized
that when a house is moved on
d city street, it is necessary to
remove and replace traffic
lights, street lights, illuminat-
ing cables, not 10 mention
damage to pavements and curbs
and the often necessary remov-
al of tree limbs hanging over
the street. In addition many
hours must be spent by various
city department employees, re-
sulting in neglect of other i'm
portant duties.
THE City" says Mr.. Carran,
has had a very bad experience
with the moving of buildings
across or along both main and
esser thoroughfares. One
small one-story building moved
across Euclid ave. several years
ago was supposed to interrupt
traffic but few hours. In
stead the building was on the
Euclid pavement for almost
one week. Also this was in the
summertime and not in the
winter when possible sudden
ice and heavy snow condisions
alone might delay operation
and close Euclid ave. to traffic
for days instead of hours,
Moving five houses five sepa-
rate nights would multiply by
five the chances for meeting
bad weather conditions OIL
equipment failure.
"If by accident just one OF
the five houses remained on the
Euclid ave. pavement for only
twenty-four hours because OF
snow or ice or for other un-
expected reasons, the impossi-
bility of trying TO detour the

All this deep, soft packed

Continue Zone
Appeal While
Hunting Tenant

Pending the renting of a
one-story 4,800 square feet
building at 1900 Beaumont st.
for a use acceptable to the
Zoning Board and the owner,
Mrs. Florence Goerndt, the
board on Tuesday again con-
tinued Mrs. Goernt's rental ap-
peal.
During the lengthy discus
sion, it was revealed that the
original use Of this building as
a repair garage was voided
W hen the occupancy was
changed to a truck storage.
More recently it has been used
as a storage by an electrical
firm The issue is the non-con-
forming use established when
zoning was instituted here.
Interested prospective ten
ants include a firm repairing
transmission, automatic drives.
etc. on motor vehicles; and a
funeral vehicle rental firm.
Neighbors who appeared to
object to a repair garage said
they would go along with
either or the other proposals.
The Goerndts were eager to
safeguard their first prospect
who however was hesitant when
told his permit would be tenn
porary, under the existing con-
ditions.
The board rejected two ap-
.peals. One was a renewal of a
rooming house permit by
Julius Pomerene, 1885 Mt.
Union ST., who must meet
building requirements first.
J. c. Miller, jr.. proprietor
of Euclid Rest Haven, Inc.
again ran afoul of the zoning
board. He sought use of two
first floor rooms for care of
convalescing ambulatory pa
tients. Inspection reports indi-
Gated that such use is already
being made Of one room in
violation of board action in
January, 1857, prohibiting such
accommodation. Mr.. Miller in
dicated he would appeal the
boards decision to the City
Commission. The hearing is set
for January 18th.
Of eight temporary rooming
house approvals, two will not
be issued until certain improve
ments are met.
The board approved the re-
quest of East Cleveland Post
No 163 to add a 16x30 con-
crete block room to the rear
of the Post Home, in Hawley
Park to permit improved check
ing and rest room accommoda-
tions.
