The times dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1903-1914, 1905-06-24

L Is thus presented to pay our respects
TO one Of Richnond's greatest indus
tries and to express the esteem in which
1t liz held.
The Cedar Works has grown from small
beginning until 1t now is the greatest
manufacturer OF wooden ware IN the
world-a fact which naturally touches the
rride OF the whole city. Better even than
Its commercial prosperity are the public
spirit OF the management and the con-
f1dence and good will existing between
employers and employees. The manage
ment Of this institution are not guilty oil
practising ,lsury upon their employees.

The civic League of Chicago advises
that the municipal ownership. schemc tnlt
has been so much talked about be
abandoned altogether. The wretched man
agement Of the Chicago water WORKS is
given as an object lesson to- SHOW the

utilities successfully. If the Civic League
needs any moro object lessons to assist
in carrying its point II can find them
in almost any good sized American town.
The time when municipal operation OF
public utilities can be safely enlarged
in scope will be only when graft has be-
come n long lost art.
