The month was july at Independence Day time. Our family As usual depended on our energetic dad for its Observance of that great Day. As Many will recall the fourths of that Era were signalized if not by patriotism at least by much noise during the Day and at night a generous use of roman candles sparklers and such sometimes closing with a great ascension of a hot air balloon. This latter event was fraught with great danger to neighbourhood out houses which stood in line of those to be burned to a Crisp when a burning balloon dropped onto them but no matter How Sweet the memories of other fourths the Holiday in 1919 was sheer revolution and what better time and Piare to confront the rules of business Law with the needs of one s family which dad just had to do if he was to keep reputation As a Good provider. I recall the anticipation we three boys experienced As we helped Mother and dad to get ready to move from Philadelphia to West Hazleton or. Scott partner in Clark and Scott had come to our Home to persuade dad to take Quot on. The Job of opening a new Branch of the Clark and Scott grocery Chain. He promised dad the big salary of $25 per week Ana full repayment of our mov in costs. That was too much to turn Down so we were committed to the move. Dad was confident he could meet the Competition of the a and a since he was a native of the town and known by Many people. Sadly dad began to Bear tales of bad business from the other stores in his Chain. So sad it was that by july third less than a year after our move or. Scott came to dad to reveal that they were bankrupt and must close that Day at six for Good. We found out about this when dad came Home for supper. He did not eat and finally spilled his Story to our Mother. We kids were Able to pick up the general idea that the Clark and Scott store Down the Street was finished. All the same the fourth dawned Bright and Clear. We missed dad at breakfast. He had eaten Early and was gone on some business. No use to look at the fireworks stacked in a Box on our front porch. They were kept for our careful dad to Light. Then Mother called me aside and sent me Down the Street to see if dad was at the store. Not daring to get closer than across the Street i soon saw enough to run Back to Tell Mother that dad was in the store and that i had seen customers going in and coming out. That news kept us very quiet for we really did have no idea Why dad would disobey or. Scott and the taw. Hut we did get the big idea much later As i will reveal. Dad had decided to operate the store Long enough o collect his wages of $25 dispensing the usual picnic fare to customers who were glad to see the store open be put the Money in to his pocket until he had reached the total of his wages. Before noon he had directed his younger brother to begin closing the store. Henry by now had seen the whole plan of and now he set about cleaning the Butcher Block sprayed for. Flies and Drew the door Blind for the last time. Then he brought to daa a Large barrel which the two set to filling with hams sides of Bacon sausage baloney and other items we could use at Home. Promptly at reaching �60 Worth our moving costs a Henry was sent to hitch the horse to the store Wagon following which the Brothers took off to make the last delivery to their last customers mrs. J. Deisenroth who while momentarily shocked yet was overjoyed at the honest haul t she asked Henry to stay for some snacks and he As he accepted a Bill from dad for his help agreed that would be tint Dandy.

If it begins in november. There is also every possibility Given the and what they assert is the a act s refusal or inability to answer specific questions about their a a cases against the school Board essentially alleging ineffective counsel and a a a shame Case. A act attorneys responded swiftly news Story and analysis defendants. A previous Cincinnati desegregation Case against Cincinnati school Board Only took eight years of litigation including appeals up to the supreme court. Sycamore school District spent $1.0,550 on Legal fees in 1977. Figures were not yet available for the three months in 1976 before press time. The bulk of Legal work to Date however has been in 1977-78. So far in 1978, Sycamore has spent May 8, 1978 4.631.30 Jan 24, 1978 2,507.80 total expenses to Date $24.509.71 Madeira has recorded these Legal fees to Date for the school suit 1977, a total of $15,579 1978 to the present .$6 ,589.77,. For a total of $22,168.77. The Board expects to spend roughly another $16,000 in the coming year. These Legal fees become even More significant when you realize that the school it is said we Are becoming a litigious lit tip a society. School boards Are trial Legal fees should increase. Attorneys fees Range from about $35 per Isaac has experienced desegregation attorneys snails Pace of proceedings to Date that the trial in Federal court will not begin As scheduled. The Cincinnati school Board has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in Legal fees preparing its defense since it was named As defendant in the suit in 1974. On sept 29, 1976, 20 suburban school districts were also named defendants. As of oct., 1976, Cincinnati school Board had spent roughly $137,490 on Legal fees in a act suit. A Good portion of this however included a subsidiary suit filed against the Federal department of health education and welfare he to recover funds to further Board and angrily in an outraged tone to this motion last week and filed their own motion to strike the school boards motion As locally Indian Hill school District has spent roughly $50,000 to Date in its defense and has another $40,000 budgeted to spend on the Case this coming year according to school Board clerk Harold Bush. Indian Hill is represented by Bruce Petrie of Graydon head and Ritchey. It is difficult for school districts to actually budget ahead with any Assurance of accuracy however since Legal fees for 1979 Are dependent on such unknowns As when the sub boards often pay person to dig into history fees May Range from $35 to i 00 an hour programs aimed at integration chief attorney for the Cincinnati school Board in the desegregation Case is . Beirne. Cincinnati school Board attorneys last month filed a. Motion to dismiss the desegregation ease citing four years of inactivity on it in Indian Hill Urban districts will actually go to trial. Although a Date of november has been set in the Case it is quite Likely that the Cincinnati school Board May be tried first and a the suburbs later or some combination thereof since logistically it is difficult to conduct a trial of 21 roughly $325 and has an outstanding Bill for another $2,000. Sycamore is represented by the firm of Santen Santen and Hughes. Up until fall 1977, Sycamore was not an accused defendant but was named As a full defendant then. Several of the suburban school districts Are represented by the firm of Dinsmore Shohl Coates and Deupree including Deer Park and Madeira locally. Deer Park has paid these Bills to Date according to vouchers on file with the school Board clerks office Deer Park paid $351.87 in March 1975 As its share of a $5,000 Bill to a consortium of schools which hired the Dinsmore firm shortly after they were named As defendants. School boards Are now being billed individually however. Other payments of Legal fees in Deer Park Bill dated aug. 1976 $326.68 oct. 14, 1977 3,063.88 june 30, 1977 5,098.19 april 15, 1977 8,529.99 Board s total Legal Bills in 1976 were $133 and in 1975, $331. In 1974, the Board had no Legal expenses due partly to the fact that the Madeira City solicitor has traditionally handled Legal work for the Board. Finding themselves increasingly in court Over matters that were formerly handled by the school administration such As school discipline suspensions even what books Are used for classes. For example. Sycamore school District in 1974 spent $202 in Legal fees $1,-694 in 1975 $1,583 in 1976 and a comparatively whopping $20,194 in 1977 this included fees for three major property transfers As Well As the school suit Legal fees for 1978 Are at about $18,000. Once the school desegregation suit goes to hour up to $1,00 an hour for a top attorney with significant experience. The school boards however Are not Only paying fees for attorneys in Many eases they Are also paying to hire an extra staff person part time to dig Back into District history to answer a interrogatories Quot questions formally asked of both sides of the suit to be answered before the trial begins. Delivering the answers to such questions can require much dinging into school District records.
