WOODWARD IS DOWN
 ON CITY OWNERSHIP
lils Is Only Voice Raised Against Plan at League Meeting In
 Toledo.

Toledo. O., August 24-The only voice raised at the convention Of the League of American Municipalities today again st municipal ownership of public utilities was that of Mayor Woodward of Atlanta, and the time limit cut him off before he had reached any definite point In his argu- ment for private ownership.
 The prominent champion of municipal ownership was Mayor Dunne of Chicago. but Vice Mayor G. D. Jones of Columbus, Ohio, and T g. Spence of Toronto also made strong addresses favoring the mu- nicipal idea. Many of those who discussed the subject were not in favor of municipal ownership as an ideal, but seemed to re- gard 1t as last resort to which the municipality was being driven by the hopelessness of securing fair terms and honest fulnllment of obligations from the public service corporations. There was no evening session but instead the delegates were banqueted at the Farm and Labor, and attended devil show in the theatre adjoining.
