MISS JULIA MIX BEATS MISS BISHOP
Wretched Driving Cost BrOoklawn Wo. man Her First Three Holes and There. after She Was Never Dangerous to Her Opponent.

Miss Julia R. Mix, of Eng1ewood, had her name inscribed on the tablet of fame by winning the championship tournament of the Womens Metropo-i- tan Golf Association, at Nassau, yes terday- Miss Mix, to the surprise of many, decisively won from Miss Geor- gianna Bishop, holder of the title for the two previous years. The fact that Miss Mix won by eight up and six to woman's cratic long game, Miss Bish- op finding it utterly impossible to. get away her tee shots at the, outset of the match.
 Wretched driving really cost Miss Bishop the first three holes. and there after the Brooklawn woman never ap- peared dangerous, although she did manage to halve the fourth and fifth. Bv losing the sixth, however, Miss Bishop became four down. She then won her only hole of the match, the seventh. and when Miss Mix won the eighth and ninth in sixes Mis- Bishop found herself five down at the turn the strokes reading 45 to 51 in favor of Miss Mix. On the homeward jour ney the Eng1ewood player won three straight holes, so that the match ter minated on the twelfth green. It '-- be said in her career, her game ben marked by good distance and excellen- direction. The card was as follows:
 Out
 Miss Mix ........ 5 6-45 Miss Bishop ..... 6 5 A SAT 7-51
 In:-
 Miss Mix ..................... 5 8 5 Miss Bishop 6 6
 In the championship a year ago at Essex County Miss Bishop defeated Miss Mix in the semi-final round while the year before at Knollwood Miss Bishop again defeated her rival, this time in the final round, after an extra hole match, so that Miss Mix's de- aiS xriof Ia h ir, a measure, at least, wipe out all scores.
 The consolation cup was won by Mrs. Charles L. Tiffany, of the home club, who defeated Mrs. Faith, of Scarsdale, by three up and one to play in the final round. In the mixed foursome Mrs. H. M. Frayme, of Dunwoodie, and J. W. Gammack. of the home club, won with a card of 97-10-S7.

NEGLECT AND DISHONESTY.

An Inefficient Administration of the
Water Registers Department Has
Cost New York City Millions.
That the city has for years lost mil
ions Of dollars through failure to COL
lect full water charges and that lack
of system In the water registers de-
partment for years placed a premium
on dishonesty and ineffciency are al
legations made In a report just COM
pleted by the bureau Of municipal re-
search. The report is based on thor
ough inspection of the books and rec
ords Of the department and a careful
inquiry made with the cooperation Of
the present register, M. G. Padden.
Other statements contained In the
report are that practically no effort
was made to keep track Of meters,
that hundreds of meters had been
worthless for years, that arbitrary re-
auctions In charges were made by sub
ordinates In the registers office, that
thousands of persons who were pay
ing So or SO year for water were
using many times that much a month
and that bills paid by the city for pri-
vate interests were allowed to go on
for years uncollected, large amounts
being invested In this manner. There
is strong suggestion throughout the
report that q huge graft system at one
time fourished In the department and
that clerks and other subordinates
reaped golden harvest.
"It has been stated" says the report,
"both in the department and out that
considerable number Of former en-
ployees Of the department are regular
ly employed in going about from user
to user making business Of impair
ing meters. A pointer standing at co.
900 need be removed but one point to
cancel a water charge Of 500.
"Of 6,02S meter records analysed for
the period from Jan. /, 1906, to Sept.
30, 1907, total of 2,919. or 4S per cent,
were shown to have been in a condi-
ton Of neglect for a greater period
than two months after being first re-
ported, the average period of neglect
being 9.S months, some Of them con-
tinuing In this condition for years."
Addresses are given where meters
have not been read for nine and ten
years. At 261 Tenth avenue. for In
stance, where ten stalls are In use,
there has been no reading Of the me-
ter since March, 1905.
During the last two years." says
the report. 1.-The average bills were
stated by the water register to have
amounted to S1,SOO,OOO and that these
had been settled for about 5000, 900. A
large part Of the 100000 stated to
have been lost could have been saved
by more effective administration. BY
permitting such conditions to exist the
city has not only been deprived Of rev.
enue, but has maintained system
which has put a very large premium
on inefficiency and dishonesty. New

In the lack Of separation between
the public service properties and other
operations municipalities appear as
the chief offenders. The greatest criti-
cism which must be offered against

ing of public service accounts with
| those Of the city. Revenues which

descents. the city paid the interest on
the construction bonds, reasoning that
this is a fair compensation for the
service received. This may be true
but it cannot be proved from the ac-
touhto VI lCNoIuS VI tuc DlOptIly.
The accounts of the municipality
owned utility should be affected no
more by the transactions in the munic-
ipal funds than should the accounts
Of the private utility reflect the activ-
tiles of the shareholders. In many cit
les. especially the smaller ones, the
inspection of the distribution system
is part of the duties of the street
superintendent or marshal. Meters
are read and often inspected by the
same city officials at times when not
engaged in other municipal duties, but
the public service property Is not
charged with any proportion of theis
expenses. The city clerk and his as.
sistants generally furnish without adj
ditional cost, much of the service
which is reported by private plants un-
der the head Of administrative or gen.
eral expense.
Until a separation of accounts be-
tween the two departments is made
a comparison with private enterprise
to determine relative efficiency Is i'm
possible.-Second Annual Report of
