Improvement Noted
By Wafer Registrar
In Office Operation

Many Of the difficulties of the
Water Registrars Office, which was
reorganiZed after an investigation
last year, have been ironed out and
the morale of the Office has i'm
proved, with absenteeism dropping
IA per cent in the last six months,
Raymond B. Ward. new water reg
istrar. stated yesterday in his first
report to the Commissioners.
Mr.. Ward, who took Office last
February, made his report for the
fiscal year ending June 30. He re-
ported revenues for 1914 were So
703,398, a drop of approximately
$4,000 from the S2,7l2,762 recorded
in the fiscal year 1943.
Numerous changes in policy and
procedure have been necessary" Mr.
Ward said, the most outstanding
being the holding of owners as
we'll as occupants for water bills
which alone will result in consider
able revenue each year.
Realty Men Aiding.
"As a result Of this policy all title
and real estate companies are CO.
operating in obtaining water read
ings when properties change hands.
and this office, in turn. has set up
department Tor clearing informa-
ton to them on day-to-day basis.
The same procedure is being car
RED out in connection with con-
sumer complaints about excessive
water charges.
Criticism has been directed at
this office for its failure to render
bills regularly, some accounts not
having been billed for over four
year period. Other criticism was
in connection with correspondence
which had fallen behind, causing
the imposition of 10 per cent pen
altleS on numerous accounts.
These and many more troubles
have been corrected by our present
policy OF meter reading and subse-
quent billing of each section of the
city by the use of stagger system

capacity of every employe."
Mr.. Ward also said that the estab-

All the powers concerned, Gen.
Blamey added, agree that the Jap

Right now Joe has just conclud-
ed an exhibition tour during a 81
day furlough in which he picked up
a few pennies to meet tax payments
and for selected charitable purpos-
es. Max Waxman, who has been
booking him, works for Jacobs but
Joe pays him. Jacobs says he as
signed Waxman since John Rox-
borough is away and Black was in
Chicago when Louis popped in the
office one and said he wanted to
make little dough.
Asked about the status of his
contractural arrangements with
his regular handlers, Louis said it
was confined to a ''hand agree
ment" The inference could be that
their deal was sealed by the shake
of the hand and not reduced to
writing. His comment about the
Herald American story was that
such reports ''have been going
around for 10 years" 1t is also re-
called that during his press con-
ference in Washington shortly aft
er his return from overseas Louis
described himself as "free
agent"

mot TRYING TO TAKE CHAMP
FROM JULIAN Black

NEW YORK, Nov. 21 (ANP)-
Mike Jacobs, sports promoter and
head man at the Twentieth Century
Sporting Club, denied flatly that he
is trying to ween Joe Louis away
from his managers. He said that
he'd known Davis Walsh, sports
columnist for the Chicago Herald
American, for 80 years, and be-
lieves "the guy is crazy Walsh
had written that Joe is about to
drop Julian Black, and ring observ-
ers began to conclude that Jacobs
had begun a move to control the
heavyweight champion.
Inso far as the partnership
breaking up, Jacobs said he doubt
ed it. "They may have had a little
argument" he added, ''but don't
think they're going on the rocks.
They're a good team" Jacobs took
credit for ''maneuvering' Louis
and getting him the champion
ship" but beyond that there's moth
ing to it. "You can't mix promoters
and managers, and I'm a promo
ter" Jacobs asserted.
Sure, Louis is a damned good
piece of property he observed, and
he intends to use him after the
Brown Bomber gets out of the
army. Louis wants to fight Billy
Conn, Jacobs noted. That will be
the ticket because 1--WE can get the
most money with him.
A couple of weeks ago Black was
here and talked with Jacobs. The
outcome of that conference is not
clear. Jacobs described it as a
friendly visit"
Asked if Joe isn't in the hole fin.

 Bricker came here after Q cam. paign speaking tour through Ken. lucky, Tennessee, Illinois, Missouri and Iowa, eliminating in his prom ise last night that Republican victory next month would mean sweeping changes in the agrieul- ture and labor departments to over. come what he charged were the ef- fleets Of New Deal bureaucracy.
 Bricker told Q press conference last night that constructive fea- lures" of the agricultural GdJust- ment administration would De re- tained if Republicans are elected, but that the agency Itself, which he said was politically enmeShed," would be abollRhed "at once" He also condemned the purported "Mor- genthau Plan" for dermany's treat' ment after defeat as going entirely too war" He said Germany should be permitted to retain industries that did not add to her potential military power but should not Dc converted Into strictly agricultural nation.
