CHASE. General Manager. ——y Subserfded tn my presence and sworn to before me this Srd day of April, A. D. 19068. A. J. TENNANT, Notary Public in and for State of Washington, residing at Seattle Municipal Ownership The municipal ownership idea ts gaining a stronger hold tn the Minds of American people every day, and among America's progres- Give cities Seattle is well in the vanguard tn adopting tne Idea. Therefore the following recital of the way British cities handle Public service utilities cannot but be of unusual interest to our feaders It ts a brief resume of a recent talk on “Municipal Ow:terahtp” by ames Dalrymple, of Glasgow, the greatest municipal ownership Bxpert in the world, British cities first get all the money they want at an interest gate averaging three per cent or a fraction less. They get It direct from people with sma. savings, without commissions or other ex- pense. The manicipal tramway plants are the direct and only security for these loans. The general city credit Is not called upon. The fenders are amply protected, because the plants are HONESTLY @apitalized. Artificial rates of interest to cover the expense of floating foans and the commissions of middle men are unknown tn the Brit- fh system of municipal finance. The municipality pays less inter @et than the average private undertakings, just as savings banks pay fess than private speculative enterprises, That is the first lesson from Glasgow. And It Is typical of the @unicipal finance throughout Great Britain and continental Burope The second lesson is that old world cities, when they undertake - bo seta public utilites invariably write down the capitalization yoar to year to a bed-rock basis In other words, they provide out of the annual revenues of each ptility a sufficient sum to cover all natural deterioration. Instead of carrying a worn ovt plants on the books as capital, it is wiped But and additions to the capital represent actual improvements. The result ta that the physical plant, in any given year, not only fepresents its actual cost fn cash, but is an unfailing barometer for the guidance of its managers in fixing rates. The annual revenues must also provide yearly payments into a sinking fund, over the usual fixed charges. This sinking fund auto- maticaliy extinguishes the capital debt. In Glasgow's Case the entiré tramway's capital debt will be extin- Guished in twenty-five years or less. Then Glasgow will own its @treet railways without a dollar of debt. The fares, already the low- Pet in the United Kingdom, wit! be stil! further reduced. Such methods are, of. course, the direct opposite of those ob- faining io the management of street railways under private fran- @hises. This all goes to show that “Cousin John” can give “Uncle Gamuel” some valuable pointers on the financial management of Municipalities. Bread and Brains ‘The public school is not to be regarded as a “private snap.” The public school is—or ought to be—a public concern operated for the benefit of the public. ‘The latter is the conception of an lowa educator and publicist Capt. E Miller, superintendent of schools of Keokuk county, who ts making the schools of his county really public. He does this by enlisting the schools in the work of the com- ity. For instance: Miller got a jeweler at the county seat to offer a prize to the school girl in the county who would make the best loaf of bread and bring ft to a county exhibition of out of school work. Immediately bread making was advanced to a fine art in Keokuk @ounty. Mothers were consulted. Hundreds of giris got busy. Bach school district had an exhibition and the best loaves were Selected for the county exhibition, The result? The homes of the county never had such bread on their tables @enerally. Scientific bread baking worked wonders, The contest did for the villages and farms what the cooking school does for the city only more. Girls who had never before given a thought to bread making Saw in it a worthy accomplishment. Some of them have subscribed for cooking magazines and have bought cook books. They are pre- paring to make themselves good housekeepers, And, not least of all— ‘The public schools of the county have become linked fast to the fiomes of the county. Mr. Miller has done a like thing in offering prizes to the boys for ‘the best corn, ete., and has them studying along the lines of scientific &griculture. And withal the schools themselves have been greatly Improved not by the study of fads, but facts. ‘This educator has pulled himself out of the worn rut of peda- @ogics. He has vitalized the schools. He has made them what they Bhould be ideally—tive centers of communal Ife and progress.
