Louis Rated
As Contender
Meet Charles
WASHINGTON, April 5 — tfV-Joe
liOUis, the aging Brown Bomber
rom Detroit, is back where he was
4 years ago in the National Box
•lg Association ratings.
The 47-state boxing body last
ight rated the former champion
us the only logical contender for
Kzzard Charles' heavyweight crown.
This h the same place he stood
n 1937 when Jimmy Braddock was
Champion. Louts won the title that
year from Braddock and ftever inov
, d down in the rankings until he lost
o Charles while trying to regain
his title. Charles won Louis’ crown
n an NBA-recognized bout with
Toe Walcott after Louis had ab
dicated.
With Louis back in the logical
contender slot, Lee Savold, Jersey
Joe Walcott and Rex Layne are
.isted as outstanding boxers.
The only other big Jump in the
ratings was scored by the West
Coast light-heavyweight Harry
Matthews. He was moved up from
the second-ranking outstanding
boxer to the No. 2 contender for Joe
Maxim's title.
The NBA extended recognition to
Maxim as the light-heavy king but
noted his rating was only "condi
tional.’’

of three members each from the

the Mayor or City Clerk as chair

The Mayor announced his ap
pointments to the City Planning
Council as follows: 3 year terms;
Russ Clithero, Duke Mitrovich and
H. A. Veatch; 2 year terms;
Charles Wcrtman, Les Yaw and
Don MsGraw, Sr; 1 year terms,

The City desk was authorized to
buy additional property damage
and public liability insurance; $25,
000 was authorized to be paid to
the City School Board from the
city school and public health fund.
During the joint session with the
Public Utilities Board, friendships
were forgotten as tempers rose in
debate. Subject of controversy was
the difference in monies paid by
the SPU in taxes and that paid by
the City for lights, power and water.
The Ordinance passed at the time
of the purchase of the power com
pany by the city from W. P. Mills,
provided that the SPU pay no more
than $1000 annually in taxes and
that the City be charged $i500 for
utilities. The SPU tax has remained
at $1000 but the utilities charge to
the city has been raised to more
than $2300 with an additional $G0G
charge for clerical work in adding
garbage collection charges to the
utilities bills.
Leslie Yaw, chairman of the SPU
Board, stated that utilities charge1
would be lowered to $1500 but tha<
the garbage hill collections fee w i.
not unreasonable; and that ra>
payments were restricted by lav
until 1966 when tire utilities bo ld
would be retired. Other ooard mem
bers added these items: that Ihf
fees were considered reasonable ai
the time they wcres'l; that gar
bage collections had ueen a head
ache even when handled by pri
vate firms and that expectation ol
reduction in charges was unreason
able. The SPU members pointed oul
that utility rate; have not oecn in
creased and at present, cannot bt
as, under the present system of
buying power from the ANS on the
Island, the supply fc limited and
additional use cf power cannot be
encouraged. That the present plar

The Board called upon Fred

they could produce it cheaper tli: i
the present production cost on tni

contended the $600 charge for gar

profit; that the dream of a $2,000,
