PUBLIC OWNERSHIP IN LEICESTER
ENGLAND.


has recently returned from England,
where he has been making some Inn
portant Investigations as 20 the practical
working of public ownership In cities.
The Evening Transcript prints an article
written by Mr.. Haven, concerning the
gas works at Ayleston, suburb of Leices-
ter. The Leicester gas company was In
corporsted as a private company In 1921.
The plant was transferred to the borough
of Leicester In 1878, since which time
there have been three reductions in the
price of gas. Over 100000 was paid
for the good will Of the company. This
was the price paid for false step taken
In 1921. The profits realized during
thirteen years Of public ownership have
been 81 ,486,540. OF this sum, over ST.
600 per year has been paid into the
treasury Of the borough. A sinking fund
has been established, which will pay off
the capital debt in 1884. Mr.. Haven con-
tlnues his account substantially as fol-
lows:
"The price of gas to private individuals
to-day Is So cents per 1000 cubic feet. A
reduction in favor of the lighting commit
toe of the borough has been allowed
for many years, of cents for every
1000 cubic feet; so that the corporation
pays its own gas works 50 cents per
1000 feet. A meter Is attached to street
lights. Since 1878 the price of gas has
been reduced - cents per 1000 feet.
During the thirteen years the wages of
the workmen have been advanced 20 per
cent.
"The cost of coal at the works to-day
Is $294 per ton, and the actual cost to
manufacture the gas ready for distribu-
tion Is 26 cents per 1000 feet, and at "A
cents the corporation could have sold the
gas without loss or profit, SO that 18
cents represents the cost of distribution
and the interest on each 1000 feet.
"The corporation claim that by the
year 1884 they will own their own mag
nifcent gas works, clear Of all indebted
ness, and from sale of their residuals will
be able to furnish gas, if 1t is thought
desirable, free.
Special attention, too, has been paid
to the comfort of the workmen by the
provision Of mess rooms, lavatories and
baths, also q reading and recreation
room. This latter room Is we'll provided
with papers and magazines, and has
library of several hundred volumes. Dur
ing the winter months, entertainments,
organized by the engineer, Mr.. Alfred
Colson, or members of his staff, consist
Ing of concerts, readings, lectures,
dramatic entertainments, ETC., are given
every fortnight. These are always we'll
attended and appreciated In connec-
tion with the works there are also a we'll
organized band, cricket club, an ambu-
lance division and a sick and funeral
allowance society.
In 1856 residual works were erected
in the southeast corner of the land ad-
joining the gas works, and abutting on
the river and canal. These works deal
with the whole of the tar and ammonlcal
liquor obtained at these works, consist
ing Of sulphste of ammonia, sulphur,
crude naphtha, oil, carbolic acid, heavy
naphtha, creosote, naphthalene, light
green oil, anthrscene oil, anthracene and
pitch.

the dissatisfaction created by his action
in appointing TO the mos important
offices members of the opposite party.
And then, too. he brought man from

"HALF-DOLLAR" LOAN.
Plan Proposed to Aid the Big
EXDOSitiOn.

WASHINGTON, June l7.-The worlds
fair committee Of the house today
agreed upon bill providing for gov.
ernmcnt aid in defraying the cost of
ompletlng the work of preparation for
opening the worlds fair, and making
appropriations for sundry other objects
connected with the fair. 1t is proposed
that the government shall add in the in
terest of completing the work by author
iZing the recOinage from the uncur-
rent subsidiary coins now in the treas
ury of Sl0.000000 silver half dollars to
be known as the Columbia half dollars,
struck in commem0ratiOn of the Worlds
Columbian Exposition.
When so recoined. the 100000 half
dollars are to be paid out by the secre-
tary of the treasury upon vouchers
properly certified by the exposition au-
thorties. The sum Of $l00,00J is apprO-
priated to reimburse the treasury for
loss on the recoinage authorized.
Before the secretary of the treasury pays
any part of the money lie is to give sat
iSfactory evidence that the exposition
authorities have already collected and
disbursed S10,000.009. and that they will
supply any further sums necessary TO
complete the work. They are also re-
quired to agree 10 pay to the govern
ment share of the total net receipts
propOrtionate to the government sub
scription to the enterprise.
The bill also provides for the prepara-
tion of $4,000 bronze medals, commem-
orative of the exposition and $4,000 vel
lum impressions for diplomas, both
Is and diplomas to be awarded to

ers paid the tariff was true, we ought to
go into the business of burying tariff
and hand over the surplus 10 our people.
Why discriminate against Germany,
England, France, Italy and Bermuda
and all Of the other nations to send their
products in free, if it is time, as Nc
Kinley says, that Bermuda pays us
Sl44, 900 on imports for ten months, then
it must follow that we pay the duties
Oh goods exported to Bermuda, and If
the duty is equal to ours, we pay them
two and half times as much as they
payius, for we exported from Bermuda
SgS4,000 worth OF goods. and exported
Si32, 600; besides our exports to Ber-
muda consists largely of flour.
uDoes Mr.. Mckinley, ii his argument
is true, expect TO help the farmer by
raising duty Oh imports from Il
country to which we sell flour? Upon
no other theory is tariff for protection
defensiOle than that it cOmDels the con-
sumer to pay the increased price.
Scarcely had Mr.. Mckinley left the
Bermuda phase of his speech when he
used the following language: I'VE
advanced the tariff en- carpets to COM
pensate the manufacturer for the
increased tariff on wool. Why
should he compensate, asked Mr..
Bryan, if the foreigner pays
the tariff? In reply to Mr.. Mckihley's
statement that the price of every article
except pearl buttons had decreased. Mr.
BRYAN said that, if a tariff on woOlen
goods reduced the price, would not the
tariff on wool reduce the price Of Wool?
Wheat and corn had been reduced i'll
price; but what protectionist would
claim that the tariff did il? The effect
of Mr.. McKinley's whole argument is
that the manufacturer desired to have q
high tariff to reduce the price OF
manufactured articles, so as 10 enable
him TO pay the laborer better wages.

PALMER FOR HILL.
It's a Son Of the "Old MAN.
Croker Unlimbers.

CHICAGO, June II. - The unusual
spectacle of son of presidential can
didate working against the interests of
his father was today witnessed in the
New York delegation. Shortly after
noon Louis j. Palmer, an attorney of
Rock Springs. WvO., one. of the active
young Democratic leaders of that
state. and member of the
recent constitutional convention,
entered the Hill headquarters, and at
ance asked for Mr.. Croker. He was at
once conducted to the presence of the
Tammany leader. and introduced as the
son of Gen. Palmer, of Illinois.
Il have called upon you, Mr.. Croker"
said Mr.. Palmer, after the preliminary
greetings, Ito tell you that 1 am Hill
man."
"That is right" SAID Mr.. Croker
smilinglv. 81 think all good Democrats
should be for Hill, and can't see how
they can be any other way"
well, am for Hill; and | am here
to take off my coat and 20 to work and
Go all can with the delegates as they
come in," said MIR. Palmer. t'If nv
father had been all active candidate for
the presidency, / should have been for
him, and done all l could in the West:
but as he has practically drawn out of
the race and declared for Cleveland, that
leaves me free to follow my own judg-
ment. l am opposed emphatically to
the nomination of Cleveland, and think
the majority of the people of Wyo.
ming agree with me. When he became
president he filled that state with car
pet baggers and gave all the offices to
people from outside. Harrison has done
just the contrary, and by recognizing the
citizens of the state has made himself so
strong that if Cleveland should De nomi-
mated it would be useless for the Demo-
Gratis to put up state ticket"
$50 it would in the state of New
York." said Mr.. Croker; "we have moth
ing against Cleveland, only the Demo
Gratis of New York don't want him, that
is all. MugWumps and Democrats
are different kinds of animals
they don't mix well, you know. The
nomination of Cleveland would simply
mean the destruction of the Democratic
organization as it now exists in the
state of New York. Fairchild and the
rest of these people who are against us
now have always been against us in the
state of New York, Ii every victory
that we have achieved in that state in
the last seven years we have had these
people arrayed against us. think now
in this convention the opinion of the
people who have led the party in those
