SOME CURIOUS
UNDERTAKINGS
Queer Enterprises in Which
Certain Municipalities of
Great Britain Are Engaged
GLASGOW. STANDS AT HEAD
Brighton Owns a Racetrack,
Tunbridge Wells pheaters,
and Battersea Milk Depot

The prosperous city of Glasgow can
boast Of many distinctions, LIT none so
remarkable as its municipal undertak-
ings, says It'd Bits. Glasgow may be
said 10 be the most municioalized city
in the world, for, in addition to owning
and mana sing its street car lines, tele-
phone system, electric light. gas plants,
water, etc, the Municipal Council con-
trolls q number Of other more curious
enterprises for the benefit OF its inhab-
itsnts.
Perhaps the city's ost singular
scher-o was that of fJunding municipal
golf links a year or so ago. This
scheme was inaugurated on account of
the fact that the only golf links in and
round about Glasgow were at one time
owned by a few clubs, which charged
players an exorbitant subscription.
Complaints having been made to the
proper quarter by people who were pre-
vented from playing on account of the
excessive fees, the Glasg Municipal
Council laid out its own links, pro-
vided the necessary caddies. etc, and
placed them at the disposal of the pub
lie al a very cheap subscription. Need
less to say, these links were an imme-
date success and the profits derived
from them have helped to certain ex
tent to keep down the ordinary taxa

GLASGOW RUNS PAWN SHOPS.

1t was also on account OF the very
high interest which pawnbrokers
charged their customers that the mu-
nicipal authorities of Glasgow decided
some time ago to establish pawnshops
OF their own. The city now possesses
three Of these shops, bought outright
from the original owners. which have
taken an enormous amount Of business
away from the trade" The rate Of
interest charged at a municipal pawn
shop is one penny for every five shill-
incs borrowed. whereas the interest at
other shops is five and six times that
amount
Glasgow has also invested, among
other things. in a tulip farm, a laun-
dry. A dog and bird store and an old
clothes market. The profits derived
from the two latter concerns, by the
bye. are devoted TO the support Of the
old tfWns municipal art studio and
picture gallery. The old clothes mar
ket was built at an outlay of 10000.
and whereas formerly the 'old clio -
man was allowed to hawk his wares
in the public streets. he now has to rent
a stall in the market and thus help 9TH
