The awarding of contracts

The Commission also voted
to reimburse City Engineer
Malcolm S. Douglas for the
$4,000 Judgment against him.
The City assumes the response
bility for Douglas court debt
as a moral obligation. Douglas,
as an official of the city, in ac-
cordance with city laws issued
a warrant in good faith and was
judged at fault by a common
pleas jury. Douglas is appealing
the Court decision. The suit was
brought against Douglas per-
sonally because the city has
governmental immunity.
A few of the facts contained
in the City Managers report
are:
The total fire loss the first
six months of this year COM
pared with the same period
last year shows an increase
of S41,S20.
The number of people on
active relief is l3 this year
whereas only seven were on
active relief last year.
More people are using the

There were four more pedest-
rian injuries this year than for

School officials are hedging as
to exactly what was meant by
the resolution. and YMCA and
YWCA officials are noticeably
upset over the Boards decision
or indecision as the case may be.
School authorities feel that
there is undue concern over the
rental status of the new pool
and point out that with the
opening of the pool so far off
perhaps as soon as October or
as far away as january they
couldn't be making out tentative
dates for the POOLS rental. They
said they officially notified the
Y so that its program planners
can seek an immediate solution
and a place to hold its very ac-
tive swimming slate.
The Y has had Shaw pool
usage for 38 consecutive years
and cites good attendance and
much enthusiasm by it's members
for keeping the program as an
itegral part of the Y plan. The
Y is now dickering with some
of it's other branches, in hopes
of getting it's fall swim pro-
gram underway on time.

When asked about a compari-

the United States, Miss Peters
explained that in Holland as is
other European countries, there
is a great difference in that

er people.
"We have four kinds of high
school," she explained. Two
of them are known as gym

The others give skilled persons
a general broader education.
Gymnasiums emphasize science
and languages. Her own lam
guages are six years each of
English, German and French.
She began her study OF Span
ish at Iowa U. and will take it
all through university.
The things in the United
States which impressed Mia
were its friendly people,
their quick acceptance of the
many foreign students COM
ing each year and their
eagerness to hear and to learn.
The biggest difference is that in
Europe families do more things
together.
"In both gymnasium and uni

of our non-study time. We talk
about everything from politics
to religion.

Almost overnight, City Hall
has sprouted beautiful front
lawn. The grass and shrubs
holds the building back off Of
the street.
So many laborers were work
ing in the developing lobby OF
the police department that it
resembled a comedy act. There's
a rumor that the department
was to be considered for an
other pedestrian safety medal
if they make it through the re-
modelling without an accident.
They have put the bars on
the upstairs windows of the
department in readiness for the
day when they move some pri-
soners upstairs.
The police are canvassing
the neighborhood Of the East
Cleveland Public Library at
Euclid and Bryn Mawr. An
other malicious attack on pub
lie property was discovered at
the library on July 23rd. The
police are running down every
clue leading to the identity of
the court bound vandals.
There has been a rash of
stolen bicycles at Shaw Field
this summer. All of the stolen
bikes were left unlocked. Police
say the chances of recovery are
about $3.50.
The summer paving work on
the city's streets is complete
for this year. In all, 46 streets
were coated.

There is considerable traffic
