Chicago, which gave 100,000 plu- rality for a republican president, elected by 25,000 a democratic mayor pledged to Dring about city ownership of street railways. The fact that the enterprise Involved some great sum between and $100,000,000 did not daunt the voters. When poor, old, chloroformed, corrupt and contented Philadelphia woke up and carried through 4 res olution te prevent the disposal of the city-owned gas plant. it was plain enough that munictpal owner- ship was a real big tasue. A hint from a government offtetat who has much to do with statistics along this line was of even greater influence in making the trip seem worth while. tables pretending to compare plants in different cities could be of com- paratively small value beeause of different conditions. Men whose advice on auch mat- ters is worth following said that ob servation of lighting plants. gas and el would give the best results. There is practically nobody left to make the argument that the water works should be owned by private ta eee |companies, although a few years) ago it was a matter of contention. Public baths, markets, cemeteries ferries amd such do not constitute an issue in many cities. Municipal ownership of street railways has not arrived. It is in lighting that the most Interesting developments are to be found. The hav- the best managed gas plants would be found in Daluth, Mino, and Richmond. and the most effictent electric in Detroit, Chicago and Al- Hamilton, O., and Wheel- ft waa said, that, among the larger cities large city. erities of the management the number of those who were dis of other city departments. were not as numerous as the ers” on the service or private companies. Im several cases where the equip- ment of the plants have been rum junk used in denouncing the offic sponsible for the neglect. Then the question was asked whether the people would not pre- fer that the business be turned over to a private company invariably the answer was people would not sell. Not more than five men of prob- ably 100 who were {nterviewed om- the opinion that the people would be willing to surrender their property into private hands Usually the answer was to the ef feet that the voters would storm the city hall if an attempt were made by the officials to gtve up the light ing plants. Where complaints were made they were lodged against the als re Almoa! | management, not against munictpal ownership.
