Fines for Giving Trust.

The merchants of New Haven. Conn I'll,
who have been giving credit to the
freshmen of Yale are in sore straits
This week the bills flowed in aud the
youngsters are taken aback. Suddenly
a discovery was made, and now the
merchants are confronted with this law.
which many had forgotten;
Sec. 2262-Any person who shall give
credit to a minor student of any college
OF university of this State without the
written consent of his parents or guar
dian, or of III authorized officer of such
institution, shall be fined not less than
$50 nor more than $500.
When creditors appeared with bills
the students read them this extract from
the statute, and laughed.
The merchants have made up their
minds that it is cheaper to let the
youngsters off than to face this penalty,
but they say there will be a frosty time
for the babies who want credit mex,

Municipal Government Without Tax
alton.

The city of Glasgow, Scotland, is in
the fortunate position of being able to
pay all the expenses of the city govern
ment out of the revenue derived from
its public improvements state of
things which has earned for this city
the title to be called the most advanced
and best governed city in the world,
The details regarding the system lem
ployed by the municipal authorities are
given in a letter from Mr.. Joseph AS
bury johnson, in the Morning Call, of
San Francisco, from which it appears
that The progress Of Improvement of the
city dates from the year 1891, When a
num5ero Of phjlanthropic citizens formed
AZ association for the improvement Of
t'lc condition of the Stun population.
GA June II occurred the thirty fir t n
~niversary Of the passage by the British
Parliament of the Glasgow Improve
meat Trust Act The measure Las
worked so well that o -day the shlm
districts are practically eraiicltel. The
city CONDEMNED the wretched tenements
and erected in their place the very best
form of modern sanitary buildings.
The scheme has been so well man
aged that the Income derived by the
city not only covers the interest of the
investment, cost of maintenance, and
all Incidental expenses, but there has
actually accumulated a sinking fund
which Is gradually wiping out the debt
incurred III the purchase of the Goa
demned property and constructing the
new tenemeats.
Encouraged by the success of this ex
pertinent, tie city organized a system
of relief AMI benefit for widows and wild
overs with small families who are
obliged to go to their daily llbor and
have no one in whose care they can
leave the children A widow with three
childrcn can live very comfortably for
1913 per week. and a man with three
children for SD IS.
1t is claimed that Of all the vast mum.
Der of operations Of this kind unlertak.
en- by the city none has proved a failure,
and what this means can be understood
when it is said that the authorities have
nn1er their care city farms, city mark
cts, diaries, libraries, scientific schools.
and many other things of like character.
Indeed, the city has realized in fifty
different ways tbs reduction of the cost
of service to the public which comes
from the public ownership of lighting
plants, street cars, waterworks, mark
cts, and other public utilities. In con
clusion it may be said that no clearer
tribute to the success of the system can
be paid than by the fact that the entire
revenue of the city is derived from its
public works and institutions and that
the hours of service of the public EN-
ployes have been shortened and their
daily wages increased Scientific Amer
