Edward Il. ElllcOtt, whose rcputn.

standing IL recognized throughout the
country, and who has recently been
appointed to an important position by
the Board Of Sanitary Trustees, has
In the course OF his career as a public
official furnished In the most striking
manner n thorough eXeinplihcation OF
the prictlcability of municipal owner
ship of public utilities.
Mr.. Ellicott previous to his appoint
ment to the important office which he
now holds was for nearly eight years
head Of the Department of Electricity
OF the city Of Chicago. and while in
that capacity made II record which

a municipal lighting plant was es-
tabllshed during Mr.. Ellicott's regime

that 1t furnishes, as has been said ut
the outset. the strongest kind of an
argument In favor of municipal owner
ship Of public utilities.
When Mr.. Ellicott took office there
were n couple of small city electric
lighting plants at Halsted street and
Blue Island avenue and Rice ana Lin

electrician was installed, great plants

When the Worlds Fair management
was In need of an able man to take
