Time Running Out On Home Rule Bill

This newspaper is joining with your city Of
ficials In last ditch effort to get the amended
home rule liquor bill out of committee and
the Ohio Senate floor before time runs out.
The proposed law tAmended House Bill 66D
would allow municipalities to create special
zoning for liquor spots If the law is approved,
liquor licenses could not be issued by the state
unless the applicant can certify that the location
of the establishment meets with local zoning
regulations.
AT present, liquor spots, according to law, can
be set up in any business area.
The bill squeaked through the Ohio House and
has been in the Senate Judiciary Committee for
several weeks. Local officials such as East Cleve
land Municipal Judge Stanton Addams, Euclid
Mayor Kenneth ]. Sims and Cleveland Assistant
Law Director Irving Silbert have appeared before
the committee many times in an effort to get the
bill on the floor.
Opposing the law, effectively is the powerful
liquor lobby

cipal leaders who have been fighting for this egis
ation since the first of the year. urge readers to

1862 Tax
Decrease
Hiinted

The estimated budget for East
Cleveland for the fiscal year,
1862 will be S1,645,535, City
Manager Charles 4 Carran re-
ported to commissioners Tues
day night.
He said this was $4,000 dol
lars more than the 1861 figure
and attributed the slight m
crease to raises for nine police
men who will have completed
one years service; salaries for
two new policemen, the addition
of $4,000 to the contingency
(reserve) fund, and $4,000
needed for main audit TO be
announced by the state next
year.
Because Finance Direct tor
g. 7. Apthorp was in Columbus,
the commissioners decided TO
forego any questions until the
public hearing on the budget
which they set for Tuesday,
July 18th.
Carran, however, did report
the possibility Of 2 slight de-
crease next year.
He pointed out there is ex-
pected TO be a reduction in both
the city and school sinking fund
totaling g of mill.
"All things being equal he
said, "this should reduce the
total tax rate for home owners
from s34.10 per 81 900 Of val
uation to S33.80."
In other business at its meet
ing, the Commissioners:
ACCEPTED wit h gratitude
the East Cleveland Kiwanis
Clubs offer to pay half of the
installation costs Of the Forest
Hills Park ski and sled runs.
The total costs of the project Is
estimated at $4,000,
APPROVED new sewer and
water rates that will mean q
reduction for East Cleveland
residents. This is a result Of 2
new contract between the sub
urb and Cleveland.
GRANTED $500 annual paw
raises to Administrative As
sistant Sheldon Schwkiert and
Purchasing Agent Robert Moore.
This brings the salaries of each
to $4,000 per year.

of construction is S311, 500.
Making all this possible was
a decision handed down only
last week by Common Pleas
Judge William j. McDermott.
In precedent-setting, historic
decision, the court gave per-
mission to remove a number of
grave markers and build the
basementless educational wing
over a portion Of the cemetery,
leaving the graves intact. A
special memorial with bronze
plaque will permanently pre-
serve the names now appearing
on the badly weathered grave
stones. Some of the gravestones
will be built into the memorial
which will overlook Euclid ave.
to the east of the church build
ing.
Living Memorial
In his decision, Judge Nc
Dermott pointed out that the
cemetery is the property of the
church. He stated that g. this
action is fully considerable and
in no way conflicts with the &C
cepted moral and spiritual prln-
ciples of the community :"
and g. the erection Of a Sun
day School building over the
plot of land will constitute a
living memorial to the memoir

mains lie there buried"

church in this successful peti-
tion to the court. were Stanley

Chief Cites
"Go-kart"
Dangers

Go-karts, those miniature
four-sided convertible motor.
driven vehicles were the sub
ject of some acidulous COM
ments by Police Chief H. S
Weaver, today.
In strongly urging parents
not to purchase this type of
transportation for their chill
dren, Chief Weaver pointed out
some sober statistics.
"The National Safety Coun-
ell reports that karting acci-
dents have claimed at least 33
lives thus far" he said, land
nearly half the victims were
youngsters under 16 years of
age; and six under the age OF
TO-"
The chief also added that re-
ported accidents showed person
al injuries to nearly 200 per-
sons.
He has heartily endorsed the
stand taken by the National
Safety Council and is personal
ly opposed TO the use of the ve-
hicles by anyone under driving
license age.
Furthermore" Chief Neav-
er asserted, operation of go.
karts on public streets is illegal
everywhere in the nation be-
cause they do not meet basic
legal safety requirements.'
But he pointed out that the
law, as yet, cannot exercise
much control over the use of
the vehicles on private proper
ty.
THE police department, as
well as the National Safety
Council, strongly urges every
parent to recognize the danger
of these vehicles in all places
when operated by youngsters
under legal driving age he
said.

well remember that bright yes

The reason well remember
this is because she had some

you don't have to iron it, it will
give you more time to tend to

In theory, | think l had a
valid case. The instructions said
that if / dunked the shirt in the
lavatory and draped it over a

put it on the next morning and
go out looking like a fashion
plate.
Back to Ironing
Unfortunately, it didn't work
out that way. Ny shirt looked
more like a plate of spaghetti.
So it was back to the ironing
board for good oil Nom.
I was reminded of this ex-
perience upon reading, here in

1t was presented by House
appropriations subcommittee by
DR.. G. w. Irving, jr., of the
Agriculture Research Service.
Apparently things haven't
changed very much since 1
bought that shirt.
Zone of the properties that
has been observed by consum-
ers in Wash-wear-type cottons
is the somewhat less than opti-
mum wet and dry wrinkle re-
covery of these fabrics Irving
told the subcommittee.
