SEATTLE—Puget Sound News Co, Lonvon, ENGLAND—The Clougher Syndicate, Grand Trunk Building, Trafalgar we DOES MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP PAY? DAILY EDITION. FRIDAY, MAY 27 The London ‘Daily Telegraph,”’ a well known journal which has no leanings in favor of public ownership, recently commissioned its correspondents in eighty British municipalities to report the profit and loss of the public: utilities operated by their respective munici- palities. On April first the paper published the seventy-five reports that had been returned. It is significant that a city like Birmingham, where municipal ownership had been scarcely less successful than in Glasgow, should be omitted from the report. But the returns must have proved as disappointing to the editors as they are gratifying to the friends of public ownership. Had the “Telegraph” been an American daily whose stock was heavily owned by stockholders in privately owned public utilities, it is not probable that the report would ever have seen the light of print, for it showed that of thirty municipal gas plants reported on, all are being operated either at a profit or without loss, Of fifty-six electric light plants, thirty-nine are showing a clear profit. Of thirty-five street car lines, twenty-four are being run at a clear profit. Of thirty-four municipal water-works, twenty-eight are profitable. It should be remembered that these figures come from an authority unfavorable to public ownership, and, furthermore, we should bear in mind that in many instances towns have installed public plants where no private company would undertake the business, knowing that for some years it would be impossible to secure satisfactory returns But the citizens, desiring the utilities, voted for the municipal plants, feeling that the convenience and the benefit would overmatch the loss that might be sustained for a few years, and also realizing the fact that a public utility grows more and more valuable as pop- ulation increases, so that a plant that is operated at a small profit, or a loss, for a time, will ultimately become a veritable gold mine to the municipality owning it. Still further, the publicly owned and operated natural monopolies frequently secure for the citizens greatly reduced rates and incom- parably better service than that which they supplant, and in these ways vastly overbalance any possible loss. me A WASTE OF PUBLIC MONEY The information received by the Registrar of the Supreme Court yesterday that a sitting of the Supreme Court to try civil cases will open in Prince Rupert on June 15th, is an aggravation of the annoyance felt by many citizens at the refusal of the Attorney General to allow the criminal cases from Prince Rupert to be tried in this city. At the time, it was assumed by most people that the decision was forced upon the Department by the arrangement of the Supreme Sta Court judges dates. Now it is made clear that the decision was an arbitrary one, of a kind with the spirit which struck its pen through Prince Rupert's request for the Initiative and Referendum in its charter, and knifed its democratic aspirations. Now the citizens of Prince Rupert have to face this annoying anomaly, that at an enormous expense, and in defiance of their wishes, the witnesses in the fourteen strike cases must travel all the way to Victoria and stay there from June 5th until the end of the trial, while a Supreme Court judge will be sitting in Prince Rupert hearing civil cases from June 15th. In the case of some of the counsel, the hardship is even more keenly felt. Some of them are to appear in both the criminal and the civil cases, and if, as is probable, the criminal sittings are not over in time to permit them to return to Prince Rupert by June 15th, they will be obliged to let some of their cases go. There is no reason why the Supreme Court judge who will be sent here to hear the civil cases, could not try the criminal cases. All that is necessary, is to issue to him a commission of assize. To have done so in the present case would have meant a saving to the public funds of some $5,000 to $10,000 in money—the tax-payers’ money—-many hours and days of time to many citizens who find it to their disad- vantage to have to leave the city at this time of year, and would have given more assurance to the men on trial of being able to call evidence for their defence. As it is, the capricious order of the Attorney-General, means a waste of from $5,000 to $10,000 of the taxpayers’ money, the taking away from the city for several days or weeks of business men at a time when it is most unprofitable for them to be absent from their busi- nesses, and makes it more difficult for the men on trial to defend them- selves, owing to the increased difficulty of obtaining witnesses. It is a hardship on the tax-payers, a hardship on the witnesses, a hardship on the counsel, and a hardship on the prisoners. What has Prince Rupert done that it should be so dragooned ve riends’” at Victoria?
