Public Ownership.

Municipal ownership Of the so-called
public utilities' makes very slow head
way in the United States. A summary
tn the Engineering News Of the records
Of The Municipal Year Book shows
that, while nearly every municipality in
America owns its sewerage systems only
little more than one-half of our cities
and towns own their water supplies, only
one-eight own even partial electric light
ing plants, very few own gas works,
and only ore owns street railway.
Out of our New England muuicipsli-
ties, 40 have public and So private
water works, but only II have public,
while 1913 have private, electric light
systems, and only four have public.
while Ia have private gas works. The
public ownership idea grows with a
tardy pace that must be very disapp0int-
ing to its promoters. One cause is,
doubtless, the ineflicieney and extrava-
gance of the many municipal govern
ments. Thoughtful citizens are reluc-
tant TO intrust any new delicate rpspon-
sibilties to their rough-and ready hands.
Another adverse factor is the i'll success
Of so many experiments in municipal
ownership in England. There the thing
has been sadly overdone, with the result
that many English towns are paying an
exorbitant price for an inferior service
that stands an immovable monopoly in
the path of private enterprise.
Waterworks are easily and properly
municipalized because of their close rela.
ton to the fire-fighting system, but as to
lighting, it is quite another thing. Many
of the municipalities in this country
which possess a public lighting plant use
it only for lighting the streets and pub
lie buildings, and leave the ordinary
commercial business to private corpora
tions.-Boston Journal

The Olden Timp.

A subscriber at Old Orchard sends the
REPORTER the following bit of history
of that section of Maiue
Under the provincial government of
Gorges, a portion of territory between
the kennebec and Piscataqua Rivers
formed province named New Somerset
shire. Commissioners appointed to man
age the affairs Of the province met at
Saco on the 25th day of March 1885,
The court continued in session several
days. Folsom's history of Saco and Bid
deford, published in 1890, gives among
others, the following from records OF the
court "March 20, 1896. 1t is ordered
that any man that doth sell strong liquor
or wine, shall suffer his neighbor, labor
er or servant to continue drinking in the
house except men invited or labOrers up
on the working day for one hour at din
ner, stranger or odger there, the said
Offence being seen by one iustis of the
peace within his limits, or constable
or proved by two witnesses before
justis of the peace, such sellers Of strong
liquor or wine shall forfeit for every such
offence ten shillings."
1t would seem from this that the early
settlers on our shores found it necessary
to establish some regulations 10 regard
to the sale of liquor. Ii took long
time TO attain prohibition as we have it
today. Let US honor these old-time men
for starting on the right road let us be
thankful that we have the law as IL Is

Northeastern Telephone Co.

hearing on the application of the
Northeastern Telephone for authority
to enter the town of Skowhegan, con-
struct lines of poles and wires, establish
an exchange and carry on telephone bus
mess here, was held in the office of the
selectmen, Friday, at 10 O'clock, a. m.
Thomas Leigh, Esq, appeared as at.
torneY for the company and l.. A.
Goudy, president and general manager
of The company, was also present G.
w. Cover, Esq, town agent, was pres
ent and made many inquiries of Messrs.
Leigh and Goudy relative to the COM
pany and what it proposed to do if
granted authority to enter the town. A
good number of citizens were present
also and several submitted questions to
the gentlemen.
Mr.. Geo. E. Allen, representative of
the Eastern Telephone Company, and
Forrest Goodwin, Esq, attorney for that
company, were present but having had a
hearing on Saturday, March 29th, took
no formal part but did make some in
quiries and submitted a proposition to
the selectmen that the Eastern would put
up money as a forfeit in case the company,
if granted authority, did not install their
lines in town and put them in good work
ing order within six months.
The Northeastern Company stated
that their plan is to establish trunk
line from Portland to Gardiner via Lis
bon and Litchfield thence to Augusta,
Waterville and Pennington, and estab.
lish lines diverging from this line. They
will establish local exchanges where $50
subscribers are obtained and make the
rates $l5 for residences, Sl8 for places
OF business and a combination of the
two to one taker at $50 per year.
The question was raised in regard to
free use of telephone by subscribers In
Shawmut, Fairfield, Watervile and Oak
land, such as patrons of the New Eng
land Company now have, but Mr.. Cloudy
said, at the rates charged subscribers he
could not state definitely but the COM
pany was disposed to be liberal in these
particulars and do everything it could.
The New England Telephone Company
did not appear at either hearing
The selectmen have the matter under
advisement in connection with the appli-
cation of the Eastern company and will
come TO decision after giving the mat
ter thorough consideration.

The Trappist monks consider eat
Ing TO be a necessary evil and curtail
1t to such a degree that one step fur
Their would be suicide. Dinner, to
which scarcely fifteen minutes are de-
voted, consists of mess of vegetables
boiled in water without butter or salt
and served in a crude earthenware
bowl, slice or two Of rye bread with
out butter and mug of milk or water
as beverage. Supper is the barest
apology for meal, being nothing more
than bread and water. The guest
master did not mention breakfast. If
there be such meal, 1t probably con-
sists merely of a glass of water. A
slight relaxation of this dietary is al.
lowed to inyalids, who may have two
eggs a day, while on extraordinary oc-
caslons, such as a funeral feast in
honor of a departed friar, the monks
revel in an egg apiece. They are strict
vegetarians, and a Trappist must be
in the very jaws of death before he
will consent to eat meat.-Lippincott's
