4t es ‘The various city departments are all operated as though each was an entirely distinct company. ‘Take, for example, the water and gas departments, occuâ€" pying adjoining offices in the municipal building. The gas used by the water deâ€" partment is charged for at regular rates, «and paid for just as if it was an indiviâ€" ‘dual concern. On the other hand, the water department charges the gas deâ€" spartment for all the water used. Street lHighting comes under the control of the police, and the gas department charges "the police the same rate for street lightâ€" ing as it does for house lighting. The gas department in turn has to pay & poâ€" dice tax on all the property it controls. In this way cach â€" department has a chance to show its exact financial conâ€" dition as would a private corporation. . ‘The departments of the corporation pay the ruling rate of wage in the various tradesâ€"no more ard no less. There men work the same number of hours and there is an understanding ‘to that effect. The representatives of the laborers in the council sometimes ask for the more liberal employment of men in hard times, but there is little "pull" or "graft." * ‘In a number of instances the price paid for supplies obtained from certain ompanies or individuals is never given 40 the public. Any member of the ecuncil can ask to see the books, but he keeps the information to himalef. ‘This course is adopted because many of the big concerns are willing to make better prices to the city than to a priâ€" vate company but they do not want to have their other customers know it. £. A case in point was toid the writer. DMumec of the members of the Council was ‘m builder. and he in his business made extensive purchasers from a hardware firm. The firm supplicd the city and made a better rate to the municipality than it did to the individual. The buildâ€" wnd it is the great middle class, well %rained in economy and honesty, that take the greatest interest in municipal mffairs. These are some of the reasons why municipal ownership of public utilities have been successful here, alâ€" ‘though from many points of view Glasâ€" ‘gow is still very far from being an ideal put it: "The chance for a man to disâ€" Atinguish himself here is far less _ than in America; therefore we are all the more anxious to avail ourselves of what «opportunities we have." Glasgow is a city in which the groat "bulk of the population is of one race. OQuly those who at least pay house rent A0 the amount of $50 a year can vote, ecity.

As one member dn the quaiity of the members of the <ty governmeat that will, in a doczen pears perhaps, be the real test of the walue of municipal ownership. There is only one liquor dealer or the board and perhaps a _ dozen citizensâ€" Athe rest _ are merchants, shop owners, mnanufacturers or professional men, ithough only one lawyer, ‘There are so pprofessional politicians, and when a mman becomes bankrupt his seat is at lonce vacaicd. er, although he had every reason to susâ€" pect that the price the city was paying woufd interest him, always avoided lookâ€" ing at these particular books during his #term of office.
