Benefits of City Ownership

Especial Telegram to Evening Teller)
DULUTH, Mimi, Jan. 1.-Advocates
of municipal ownership of public util
tiles may now point to the city of Du-
luth as striking illustration of the
practicability and benefits of their
ideas. Today the price of gas for all
purposes was reduced to 90 cents per
thousand feet, which makes a total
reduction of 81 since the gas lighting
plant was taken over by the munici-
pality. Contributing to this remark
able drop in price have been better
management under municipal owner
ship and a larger consumption; but
this latter has been due to better man
agement and continued reductions. I'm
der present contracts and at the rate
of growth now made, citizens of Du-
luth believe a year hence will see the
price of gas further reduced to 75 cents
per thousand feet.

Mr.. McNichols' time has been thus

Maine Has Money to Burn

AUGUSTA, Me, Jan. 1.-The state
of Maine begins the new year with a
cash balance on hand amounting to
nearly a half million dollars, the larg-
est in the history of the common
wealth. AS a further cause of rejoic-
ing there is no floating debt. the state
having rid itself of all temporary en-
barrassments. Two years ago, as a
result of the Spanish war and a reduc-
ton in the state tax rate, there was a
floating debt of several hundred thou
sand dollars, but this has all been
wiped out. A large amount of money
is still owing on civil war debts but
this too is being steadily and mathe-
matically whitfield down.
