Public Ownership In England

The American consul at Nottingham, England in his
recent report to the state department. tells interest
ing things concerning municipal ownership and operation
of public utilities ~-~-.---
In leicester the city has just changed the horse car
system into electric line owned by the city, having
pended three million dollars thereon This city owns
its gas electric light and water works. In the first six
months of 1904 these utilities have paid the following
profits: Gas, $4,000; electric light, $125OO; water $
0Oo At this rate the city of leicester would make
yearly profit, through public ownership of $4,000.
The city of Hull has installed municipal telephone
system reducing the rates from private ownership pre-
csely onehalf This city has a small deficit on public
baths, but net profits water, gas and electric lighting
The charge for gas only 48 cents per thousand and
electricity only cents per unit.
Compare these figures with those paid by American
consumers.
The consul says the municipal utilities not oper-
aAed for purposes Of profts-"not much to make a
profit to furnish the public with the best service at the
lowest possible price"
q These facts, my brethren. are educative.

1t has been definitely decided that
Spokane will not send bowling team
to Milwaukee to attend the American
there is considerable disappointment
among the league members in conse-
quence.
The actual reason for the failure
to have the Spokane city league rep
resented is the lack of finances for
the trip. Nobody seems to see
enough in the game to stand for the
expenses and for that reason the
team is sewed up in local packages
bound for nowhere.
1t is to be regretted that Spokane
bowlers will not have the oppor-
tunity of contesting among the ma
tional cracks. The team material
here is just as good as in most other
states and the trip itself would not
only be a big advertisement for Spo-
kane but would serve to increase
interest in bowling locally to a de-
gree which would pay the alley own
ers for the expense.
There are four big alleys in Spo-
kane outside of the 8. A. A. c., and
every one of them is we'll backed
financially 1t seems to me the own
ers of these alleys could well afford
to club together and assisted by
the 8. A. A. c., If 1t should chance
that bit Of public spirit could find
Judgement in that aggregation, they
ought to be able to provide the
necessary finances, especially If the
chamber Of commerce would assist
One man could be selected from
each alley. This plan. including the
athletic club, would give five men and
the sub could be picked from the
ranking bowlers.
The Spokane alleys have an oppor-
tunity of advertising themselves as
we'll as the city and I understand
the chamber of commerce would not
be backward in assisting for the trip.
II the athletic club people truly har-
bored a spirit of sport, they would
take up the matter on a popular sub
scription basis and help along the
good thing. In dividing the expenses
the cost would not be so much.
Martin Candle was defeated last
night at Portland by Willie Lewis of
New York in scheduled 12-round
bout. 1t was fast work until in the
ninth Lewis landed on Candles Jaw,
reaching the spit, and Martin went
reeling around in the ring until the
referee stopped the go.
All the time the dispute is raging
over the claims of Young Corbett,

the title honestly and fairly and who
has a genuine right to the title.

Jimmy Agnew, business manager
of the Seattle ball team. has written
out statement of what happened
in the coast league meeting. which
may be of some interest, Agnew
says:
1.-THE league meeting was unusually
harmonious. There was much work
done, and so far as I could see the
north has no cause to complain of
treatment at the hands of the Cali
fornians. We requested that the
October games be cut out and this
was done. In return for this the
northern clubs receive an even di-
vision Of gate receipts in nine series
that are played in California. The
fornia was also a factor in this de-
cision
Seattle has Is series at home.
three with each OF the other five
clubs, and plays ri weeks abroad.
The series abroad are as follows:
Five with San Francisco, five with
Los Angeles, five with Oakland, three
with Portland and three with Ia
coma.
1.-THE league decided to pool on the
transportation question, and also di-
vide all the receipts from holiday
games into six equal parts. allowing,
of course, a deduction Of 10 per cent
for the grounds. In this way each
club will pay it's pro rata of the
travelling expenses of the league. No
matter If a team Is not able to play
| on a holiday on account Of rain, it
will receive it's share of the receipts
from the games that are played.
II presume that you have already
| heard that Oakland has been made a
home town, and that all the Fresno
games will be played there next sea-
son. Something Of special interest in
this connection is the fact that Oak
land is to have new grounds, located
in the center of transportation lines.
Tacoma will also be to the front
with a new baseball park. The man
agement has ceured a large tract Of
land two blocks north Of the present
| location.
GAS to holiday games. Seattle will
be in Portland May 80 and July 4.
Tacoma will be in Seattle Labor Day.
| Seattle will play in San Francisco on
Thanksgiving.
Seattle has made arrangements to
train at Santa Barbara, commencing
March i. The Chicago National
league club and probably Cincinnati
| will also do their preliminary work
| there. We have two games with Chi

ments to train at bakersfield. Cal /:

Manager Hall has not decided on

he will arrange deal by WHICH Buck
Freeman will be the reg,AaK first
baseman. At the present time Hall
has not fully decided where he will
play the turning point being whether
he gets a shortstop or third baseman.
I should not be surprised if he got
Gleason from st. Louis to play sec

will have an entirely new outfield.

people who propose to make Hamilton
their homes and whose comfort will be

very least sixteen to one.
This matter of tree planting is not
such stupendous proposition as
some would have you believe. First,
there's the item of irrigation. Fifty
| inches of water at an annual cost of
| $62. so will be ample. A main ditch
| leading from east to west across the
| south edge of town and laterals di-
verging down and cross.sectioninp
every street can be dug for $50. If all .
completed the first year the cost of
lumber, culverts and fumes for street
crossings comprises the largest item.
The trees will be delivered in Ham,
ilton for 1Oc each. The entire town
need not be covered the first year but
an entering wedge should be inserted.
Every street and cross-street in that
part of town south of main street can
be lined with trees, supplied with wat
er, crossings and culverts at a MAXI
mum cost of $500. The towns rev.
enues are in excellent condition at the
present time. On March l, 1904.
there was an actual cash balance of
S2,362. So in the town treasury, as COM
pared with cash balance of 81 ,147 .O3

Rather than expend the paltry sum
of $500, are the citizens of Hamilton
going to lay down and permit this
splendid work of improvement to go
by default?
