By EDWARD BLACK. The visitor strolling through the general offices of the Metropolitan Utilities district, in the city hall, might leave without meeting the boss, unless he had particular busi ness with that personage. If the visitor, however, was deter mined on learning the identity of the working principle* of General Mana ger Ijeisen, who endeavor* to practice this In hi* work. He believes In going to the heart of a proposition before talking about It In final terms. He has been »tressing In his organ ization the idea of service and-cour tesy. He sees no reason for letting down In courtesy Just because one Is in the public service. ‘‘Politeness is one of the least ex pensive and one of the most valuable assets,” he said. "It bring* more re turns for effort invested than nearly anything else you can do." "Do your job well, whatever it may be,” Is an injunction he passes along HE BELIEVES IN_ CUTTING RED TAPE HAS NO k J place FOR A GROUCH. siiinsseii—*— POLITENESS IS HIS WATCH WORD boss by a short method, he could start something, and the desired informa tion would be forthcoming instanter.

"Know your stuff" is one of the to the humblest employe of the staff, and he has a way of obtaining re sults through gentle and Arm words. Everyone in the organization knows that when the general manager speaks, he says just what he means and expects results accordingly. “It's good business to be polite,” he said the other day to one of the workers, whose stomach or liver was out of kilter and which physiological disturbance was reAected in actions and words. "We have no place for a grouch In the Metropolitan Utilities district,” Mr. Leinen said. "We don't believe there are any in our group.” The general manager believes in giving each department head com plete control, subject to reasonable supervision. lie explained that he re serves the right to make short cuts to obtain Information.
