City Wins
Applause Of
Motor Foes

After a spirited hearing
in City hall Tuesday eve
ming, The Commission re-
jected the appeal Of the
Walter H. Stearns Motor,
Inc, for the rezoning of
two parcels of land adjoin-
ing it's property.
Neighbors complained Of the
hazards presented by extra
automobile traffic on the street
citing the dangers to children
and older people when cars are
being moved across the side
walk. The Zoning Board had re-
jected the Stearns appeal last
week.
One neighbor said that if any
rezoning was being considered,
the City should rezone the
street making it a one way and
giving the residents more room
for parking.
In a surprise move, the Com
mission passed resolution re-
questing the State Liquor Board
to refuse to grant any more Dc,
D4 and D5 liquor licenses in
East Cleveland. In its resolu-
ton, the city said it felt that
East Cleveland has an adequate
number of outlets to supply its
needs.
A misdemeanor ordinance a
mendment was passed. 1t chang
es the age groups and times in
volved. The age limit has been
stretched from Ia to 18 and the
time changed from 9 p.m.-6 am.
to 10 p.m.-7 am. According to
the new provisions anyone 1S or
under who is not accompanied
by a parent or legal guardian or
spouse and is lettering will be
in violation Of the ordinance
City Manager Charles A. Car
ran explains that the ordinance
is aimed at youngsters who
stand on street corners annoy
ing pedestrians. He emphasized
that it is not intended to inter
fere with young people who are
in transit for evening activities,
lie. movies, sporting activities.
Sanford Arnoff, attorney for
AL Cert Inc, appeared before
the Commission and explained
why he felt his clients were
justified in requesting a D5
permit in East Cleveland. His
main contention was that the
site sought by his clients had
been used for "a years as a
liquor outlet-the former bust
ness establishment occupied by
the Continental at 14673 Euclid
ave.-and therefore an noncon-
forming use. There was no dis
cussion of the case by the Com
mission. Speaking for the Com
mission, Frank Fellows stated
that the decision was now up to
the liquor board and there was
nothing to be gained by more
current talk about it.
The following rate scale was
approved by the City Commits
sion for street lights: 1000
Lumens at $37 each per year,
6.O00L at SASS, 10,000L at
S5S.O8 and 15,O00L at $3.50.
Rates for mercury lighting
which received approval was
u,OOOL at $49.56 or 12,500L for
the same cost as the 1000.
23.OOOL at $66.30 if it is under
ground and the city provides
the ballast and cable. The rates
for the same service would be
s78 if overhead and with the
Cleveland Electric Illuminating
providing the equipment.

formed that James P. and Mary

City make any necessary re-
pairs in that part of Stanwood

through their property at 1900
Terrace rd.
