Municipal Ownership In Europe.

Municipal Ownership In Europe.
Professor L. S. Rowe of the Univer-
asity of Pennsylvania has just returned
from Europe after spending three
months in the study Of municipal own
!eTship, most Of the time in Germany
and France. In Germany about thirty
cities have acquired title to their street
car lines in the last ten years. The
success of this movement he attributes
to the failure of private corporations
to furnish adequate facilities. He finds
that the financial results have been dis
appointing, but thinks that this is due
In part to the heavy payments which
cities were compelled to make the COM
1panies as indemnity for unexpired
franchises The greatest achievement
70 the extension Of the lines into out
lying districts, thus relieving the con-
sgestion of the centers of population.
Next to this comes the lowering of the
fares so as to favor the migration Of
the working classes. In German cities
az cents pays for ride, and monthly
communication tickets are sold for $3.50
over one mile sections. In spite Of the
difficulties more than four-fifths Of the
cities owning their own street railways
are operating them at considerable
profit to the social and financial well
fare of the entire community.

Graduation from the Naval Academy
at Annapolis is not a prerequisite to
winning a commission in the Navy.
Not long ago nine enlisted men were
promoted to the rank Of ensign, having
shown themselves fit for service along
with those who had had the formal
training Of the Naval Academy. The
promotions were made under a recent
act of Congress, which authorizes the
Secretary Of the Navy to recommend
to the President NOT more than twelve
men each year from among the boat
SWANS, gunners or warrant officers
whom he considers capable of perform
ing the duties of ensign. The men so
promoted are in line to become rear-ad-
