HOW GREAT BRITAINS@ CITIES ARE GOVERNED

,t,ist b glance AT r;dinburgh,o the most
beautiful city iii Great Britain. Ediii-
b,irgh owns It's street railways, but. IN
stead OF operating them, has leased them
for a term of twenty-nne years 10 com corn
lnanS which pays q rental Of per cent.
on the capital outlay of $500, 600. After
paying interest, sinking fnrd5 and other
expenses the city had a clear revenue 81
about s275O. q This does not compare
favorably with the record OF cities wlicl,
operate their plants, and there Is SO much
dissatisfaction In Edinburgh over the In
different cable service that II is likely that
the authorities will take steps to cancel
the lease and Introduce electrical traction.
Edinburgh owns line system Of baths.
It's electric light plant paid last year
a. net profit OF 100000. In the conatr,c-
stion OF houses for the working classes
Edinburgh has spent nearly 100000, and
while maintaining low rent rates there
Is Il steady annual prolific he9city. The
technical and public schools OF Edinburgh
are famous. Like most scotch cities, 1t
owns It's markets npl Strengthening houses.
and has adopted modern methods for
the disposal OF sewage and street sweep

rho following satisfies concerning the
extent and growth of publicly owned
undertakings may be OF interest to stu
dents Of this problem. There arc In Great
Britain t,0i5 water plants owned by cities,
boroughs or districts, as against 251 own
ed by private companies. Every city OF
consequence, with tho exception OF Lon
don, owns and operates Its water supply
plant. and London IS moving for public
ownership. ,s
There are c5s public gas plants against
454 privately owned ones. but the number
OF the former Is increasing, while that or
the latter Is stationary or decreasing On
capita invested the cities have made 6 -
per cent. against 5 IA for the private
companies The cities have charged an
average price Of 81 cents a thousand
