Harry Wilson, accompanied by

while he led the horses across the

While he was away the baby at

MUNICIPAL OWNER
SHIP IN GERMANY

A recent Consular report says:
"In Germany there is very strong
tendency on the part of the State or
municipal authorities, as the case
may be, to secure control OF all the
works which contribute in any way
toward the public welfare. 1t IS
usually the custom on the part OF
the local authorities to grant con-
cession for a certain number OF
years, providing that when the time
expires the city shall assume con-
troll of the enterprise. In the ma
iority of cases it has either been
private enterprise or stock COM
PAW which has taken the initiative
in German cities in introducing the
most advanced technical and sclen-
tifc improvements. This has been
the case in small towns as we'll as IN
large cities. The water and gas
works of Eibenstock, for example,
were built a few years ago by a
stock company organized by the
citizens of the town. The owner
ship of both, however, was recently
acquired by the municipal govern
ment and the company liquidated'
Government control of all such en-"
terprises has led to great rivalry
among the large cities of the En-
pire in striveng to be first in the
application of the newest methods
and latest inventions known to SCI
ence. The exhibits of the different
cities of the Empire at Dresden
afford a striking opportunity TO
study the progress made IN INDUS
trial science and its application IN
Germany to-day"
