Collecting Customs, Maintaining to* Army and the Polic*, Ara Among These, but Not Such Undertakings as the Telegraph, ‘ the TpEphope, the Street Cara .or Gas ?nd Electric Lighting—True Nature pf « Public Franchigo, - By ARTHUR WILLIAMS. President National-Electric Usht aoaocia- tlon. . Some things nre so esseutinlly of a governmental' nature that It would be fatuous to consider them from the standpoint of private ownership. Among these are the collection of euS- toms, the maintenance and direction of the ariuy and u'avy and the police pow­ er, la others It Is the end rather than the means that should be■ sought, and municipal and. private'ownership are often on equal terms without the viola­ tion of any economic principle. ’ The maintenance of public highways and sewers Is usually a public func­ tion, but the country abounds In exam­ ples, every w|dt as satisfactory, of pri­ vate ownership and Operation. With wafer (he Importance to the commutil* ly Ilea not in its ownership, whether public pr private, but rather Iri Its,qual­ ity, quantity aud price. Many of the most satisfactory waterworks of this country and Europe are owned pri­ vately, Beyond those there Is a class of pub­ lic utilitieswhich experience has shown, should lieexclusivelywithinthe domain of private enterprise; The telegraph, tel­ ephone, transportation, gas and electric light undertakings offer examples. The ownership of these by the community is advocated by some on the ground that they are necessities., of modern fife, by others because they partake of the nature'of monopoly. It does not appear that either Is a sufficient rea­ son, These are, facilities and conven­ iences, not necessities. The latter.,con­ sist of simple dwellings, food! raiment and means of warmth in winter. If our necessities are to be municipalized, we should begin with the butchei',;gro- cer, baker and coal dealer, whose per­ centage of profits far exceeds that of any of the corporations in the so called •publicservice. Monopoly —regulated monopoly—is not necessarily opposed• to the public interest. It Is advantageous to all.to: have one telephone system* that froffi one point all may, be conveniently reached; to have -one- street car sys­ tem with universal transfers, making unnecessary any relation between one’s homo and place of work;’ to have a single gas or electric light' works, pre­ venting the Waste, of small plants and organizations-and securing-by the lar­ ger development Increased reliability, and improved quality in the service. A franchise merely permits a public service corporation to share with oth­ ers the use ofLihe streets for the de­ livery to its customers of the commod­ ity it supplies'—a right Unit Is enjoy, ed by every ther industry. The dif­ ference Is u ely pne of method. Wore electricity m ivcted in storage bat­ teries and gas In tanks—conceivable ways—no franchise Would be required. Instead of using horses and wagons,; which blockade the streets and make street cleaning n problem, deliveries are raado beneath the surface without dirt, noise v>r other objectionable fen: tores, It Is through the Oxcrclso of this right that wo hear of Iho confiscation of public property. Yet the public lias npt parted with Its title to tlio streets nor Its right, to occupy them for any purpose or In any manner It may de­ sire. It has simply permitted a serv­ ice company to become n tenant for which, In the form, of franchise and other taxes, the company pays a 'high rent. Substantially the city Is .the landlord, possessing the power of arbi­ trarily determining. In the form of these taxes, what rent It shall receive. And this rent lessens proportionately the Individual taxation,—Moody’s Mag- nzlpe. Typical Case of City Bookkeeping. Tho authorities of Lakewood, O,, have charged the city $55a year for tho street lights supplied by tho municipal plant. After looking at their tax bills sotao of the citizens came to tho con­ clusion that this sum did not represent all'the cost and called (n a firm of ex­ pert accountants, who ascertained that the actual annual cost per arc had been $129.50 for the seven years the plant had been In operation, although the fights had been run on the moon­ light schedule. As a private com­ pany offers all night service for less than half that amount, the experiment is hot regarded as a success, except by the lighting committee. Hard Luck of English City Btrlkar*. Tho experience of the employees of Jho municipal street railway of Hali­ fax, England, is fiot such as to encour­ age the Idea, promulgated; by our yel­ low journals, that cities are necessarily ah easymark. These cm; loyce3strupk, expecting popular support, which was- not forthcoming. Their places were promptly filled, arbitration was re, fused, and the new men wei’6 retained when the strike was over. ■ Greenfield, Ind, •The city council' is Considering the necessity for a general overhauling and Installation of new machinery In the municipal^electric fight plant la this city, Frequent breakdowns recently have loft tho clt In darkness.—KIcm tricailYorid,...... ....... . ...;........
