Mr. Smith gives his reasons. He says they are obvious. "'In the first place, a commercial enterprise con- ducted by an elected council, which is continually changing its personnel, cannot have. the same continuity = of policy and the same determined and persistent striving along well-thought- out and permanent lines. In the see Bnd place, an eléeted council which owes its esistence ta the popular vote of the ratepayers, including thé~cus- tomers and employees of the enter rise, is compelled continually to sae. rifice: what it knows to be sound busi- + ethods of 'management to pub- lic opinion, "Tt is quite true that it ought not to be the sole object of a municipality to operate its public ser- vices #0 as to make money, but it certainly onght to be the object of every council {go give the ratepayers the best service that can be had at the lowest cost. In order 4b do that a good business management is just as essential as it is with a private company." There can be no denying this argu- ment, It is forceful and to the point. It leads to a eonclusion, the critic presents it thus : "Taking into account the disastrous experience of the mother country in the municipal conduet of public ser vices, and remembering the safe guards to the public interests which exist there and do not « in Can- ada, I am firmly convinced 'that municipalities in this country can se- cure better services and greater mone- tary returns by having their public utilities conducted under lease by private companies." and Toronto has been censured by some people and papers because it leasidd the street railway after purchasing it from the old company. But would the with its changing member- ship, put into its affairs the business council, ability and economy which the lessees have done, and would the city, with ipg the profit it now is from the com- pany the percentage of receipts plan ?
