rAvoRs MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.
Ex-PresideEt Harrison Says cities
Should own street Railways. Etc.

NEW YORK, Oct. Former President
Benjamin Harrison Is quoted in an inter
view on municipal politics In the World
as saying:
"Of special Importance are the safe
guards 10 be thrown about the granting
of franchises to the promoters OF great
schemes for the public service. In this
respect there are valuable lessons to be
learned from late foreign experiments
Some OF the principal cities OF Scotland
have assumed each the control of its
street railway systems and it's lighting
plants, as well as Its water works. The
result Of this public ownership OF great
public enterprises have been exceedingly
satisfactory and instructive.
II am inclined to consider municipal
ownership as the best means to secure to
the people the cheapest and best service.
or course, the effects OF competition be-
tween private enterprises are not to be
lost sight of as far as they Increase quail
ity and lower prices. But the usual meth
cd OF selling franchises outright. or OF re-
ceiying for them a royalty. seldom gives

the people themselves later return The
