Murphy Rated 5 10 9
To Whip Jimmy Beau
AT Garden Tonight
BY the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 8.-Irish Bob
Murphy. a slugging light heavy
weight who is aiming for shot at
Ezzard Charles. heavyweight king,
and young Jimmy Beau, a middle
weight who would like to meet the
topnotchers in his own class. tan
gle tonight in the feature 10
rounder at Madison Square Gar
den.
It's another prime example of
the difficulties Of making matches
for a stepped-up boxing program
in a talent-scarce industry. Add
the reluctance of certain fighters
to meet dangerous contenders in
their own division, and you have
a real matchmaking problem.
Slugfest in Prospect.
The International Boxing Club
Is committed to a good many pro-
grams for its various arenas in
New York, Chicago, Detroit and
other key cities. The shows are
necessary to fill in television and
radio commitments for Wednes-
day and Friday nights.
Not that tonight's fight shouldn't t
be interesting Actually it figures
to be slugfest that probably
won't 60 the full distance. The
redhaired, 28-year-old Murphy
has flattened his last 10 foes.
Beau, a 20-year- old who has mixed
with some toughies, is an ag-
gressive. punch throwing crowd
pleaser.
Murphy, who weighed 1T for
a fight a couple of weeks ago,
agreed to make ITO tops for to-
night. He had to struggle to make
it. Beau scaled 1914 October 13
when he lost a fierce 10-rounder
to Nick Barone. another light
heavyweight contender who was
knocked out by Charles last
Tuesday.
48 KayOs in 81 Fights.
Murphy, with a record of 48
knockout victories in 81 fights,
has been established the 5 to 8
choice.
Beau has fought 80 times, won
26 and racked up Is knockouts.
The strong Negro is rated one of
the top 160-pounders in the busi-
ness but he can't get any of the
big boys of his division to face
him.
The Barone-Beau fight was a
WOW on television. Tonight's 10
pm. bout will be telecast and
broadcast.

To Be Guest Speaker At An
nual Dinner Meeting And Re-
ception On April IL.

of the Hagerstown Chamber of
Commerce will be held on April II

Hotel Alexander. The guest speak
er will be DR.. James Shelby Thomas,

subjects.

the Chamber in this day of a war
worried world, a first-hand know
ledge of our nations difficulties and
our responsibilities in the interna-
tional world as well, and he should
be greeted by the largest attendance
the Chamber of Commerce has hac
since the annual banquets were be-
gun several years ago.
So make it a point to get youl
ticket early for the banquet; first
to hear an inspiring address; anc
second, to greet your fellow member;
of the Chamber.

News Of
City Hall

The Mayors Screen Bag" which
contained no Surprises, was opened
on Tuesday night at special meet
ing of the Mayor and Council and APP
proved unanimously.
All the appointive officers of the
Administration were renamed for
another year, including: Francis
Urner, city attorney; Thomas Sum-
mer, tax collector; Eldon Kerney,
city clerk; Edgar King, purchasing
agent; Charles Smith, building in
spector; Polk Shenk, sanitary in
spector; Victor Reel, plumbing in
spector, and Max Hoover, fire chief.
Also re-appointed were: the present
market master and his assistant and
the SPCA dog catcher.
Aaron Reecher, the Democratic
member of the Board of Public
Works (the only member whose term
had expired) was also renamed to
the Board, and Ralph B. Wyand, who
has unoficially held the post of per
sonnet director since the death of
William T. Snyder, was officially APP
pointed. The post is a part time job
and carries a salary of $1,000 year.
Other highlights of the meeting
were:
Sewerage Rates
After two-hour discussion, dur
ing which Omar T. baylor, attor-
ney for the three diaries whose sew
erage cost would take tremendous
jump were the proposed rates adopt
ed, and several experts were heard
the Council agreed that there were
certain inequities in the scale OF
rates as originally proposed by the
Water Department. They therefore
instructed the city attorney to draw
UP an ordinance that would provide
for two-meter system for industrial
users, so that they would only be
charged sewerage rates for such
water that, under the sanitary laws
cannot be run into the storm drains
This solution was arrived at af-
| ter Clarence Eldridge, owner of one
of the three diaries, told the Coun-
ell that 70 per cent of the water
used in his dairy is clear water that
is used only for refrigeration, but
that, under the proposed rates he
would have to pay sewerage rates
on, that 70 per cent, despite the fact
that it could, with safety, be turned
into the storm drains.
AS soon as the ordinance is ready
(and it may be ready for tonights
meeting of the CounciD the whole
matter will be further discussed.

Around Town Will
The Editor

| listened with the greatest care
and interest on Monday evening to
the Stewardship report of Mayor
Mills at the end of his administra-
TONS first year in Office, and the re-
port left me with very definite feel
ing that the present administration
might be seriously considering APP
plying to the Public Commission for
an increase in our electric light rates.
Mayor Mills, during his talk,
stressed the serious falling off of
the light plant revenues due to the
increased cost of labor, equipment
and coal, and he pointed out that
whereas, in years past, the City
could count on a net profit every
year from the light plant, sufficient
to pay the cost of operating the po-
lice department, fire department,
general government and the park
system; today, the light plant is
producing less than half the profit
it previously produced.
Coupling this with the Mayors
announcement at the conclusion of
his talk, that before his term is up,
he proposes to ask an amendment to
the City Charter that will put an
absolute limit on the tax rate any flu
ture City Administrator can charge,
l cannot help but feel that in order
to meet the cost of government,
particularly in years of falling rev.
enue providing fixed tax rate is
in effect), that not only the light
rates, but the water rates as well
would have to be raised from time
to time to balance the budget.
