pool municipality is that of provid

The one great predominating CUES
ton in connection with municipal so
cialism is the housing question:
that is, the demolition of ''slu1ns" an
lnsanitary dwellings and the cree
ton by the municipality of suitable
dwellings in place thereof. American
who have been here can have but 1T

cities of Great Britain as to the
housing of the very poor. This con.

SIC. OOO. 900 and SIS, ZOO, 600. The docks
of Liverpool are municipalized In
modified way. The system is Pc
culiar to Liverpool. This vast estate,
valued at several hundreds of mil
lions of dollars, is administered by
public trust, nearly all the
members of which are elected by
those who pay dock dues, and the
profits, after deducting expenses and
payment of interest on capital ac-
count, go to Improvement, and not
to the benefit of a private corpora
ton. The probability is that the
London docks will before many years
be managed either under the Bristol
or the Liverpool plan. Nottingham,
in addition to owning parks, markets,
artisan dwellings, baths anu hos
pital, has bought a castle and for
est, and has natural history mu-
scum and a school of art, and was
the first municipality in Great Brit
ain to have a university college. The
last item gives occasion for the
statement that several English cit
les have within the last year or so
taken up the question OF local uni
versities. Birmingham has estab-
lished one, and Liverpool will shortly
follow suit.
Liverpool is one of the foremost
cities in municipal socialism. 1t owns
the waterworks, one of the best sys-
TENS in the world; it operates the
street cars; it supplies the electric
LIGHT and mower. If has one of the
largest and best bath systems any
where, and proposes to erect the
finest Turkish bath in Europe; it
provides public laundries for the
poor districts; it furnishes flowers
and plants for the windows in the
slums; it sells sterilized human
lied milk for the children of the
poor at cost price; it has salaried
organist to play its famous municipal
organ; it gives municipal lectures
and all these in addition to the
usual undertakings of municipalities.

orally known as municipal trading
and sometimes and more correctly, as
municipal socialism," The first ap-
pellation is rather a misnomer at the
existing stage of the movement. Mu-

vision of private wealth OF property,

public good, as claimed. As generally
explained, the enterprises within the
proper sphere of municipal socialism
are public necessities" But here
arises the question: Where is the
line to be drawn? This line is by the
great majority of advocates of the
system drawn at those enterprises and
undertakings which by their very ma
ture are essentially public or semi
public in their functions, and which
are of necessity more or less monopo-

entered into by the British govern
ment by its ownership of the tele-

gradual absorption of the telephone
system; and movement has sprung
up for the naturalization of the rail
roads, and even of the coal supply, as
we'll as of storage of wheat for use in

In 1875, the capital invested in mu-
