EDITORIAL COMMENT.

Philadelphia Record:
The first step to make municipal
ownership of public utilities of great
est advantage should obviously be
to put the administration of munich
palities on the high level attained in
the average management OF success
full public service corporations. Rot
ten governments insure corrupt prac-
tices. 1t is impossible to put in sue
cessful practice in New York, Phila-
delphia and Chicago schemes of city
ownership and control that have
worked well in British cities, where
public position is not regarded as a
private snap. None the less it is
worth while to investigate. The
London correspondent of The New
York Tribune says:
The American commission en-
powered by the National Civic ASso-
citation to investigate the operation
of municipal ownership in the Unit
ed Kingdom has begun work in Il
sensible way. Five members of the
commission, NJ. p. Maltbie, w. J.
Clark, j. w. Sullivan, James and
Klenupp, after making preliminary
inquiries in London and taking a
lying trip TO Dublin, are settling
down TO an exhaustive study of the
results of municipal trading in a dOz-
en- large provincial cities. The COM
mission is composed of engineers,
accountants and business men, and
its expenses during the next four
months will be paid by the american
interests in favor of municipal own
crship and those opposed to il. The
members are charged With the duty
of making an impartial examination
of the results of municipal control
in the management Of tramWayS,
gas. electric lighting and power, and
they are not committing themselves
in advance to any opinion respecting
utility. policies or a~daptability to
America. The commission will EN-
ploy a large staff of engineers and
accountants and be reinforced by
additional members from America.
It's final report ought to be a docu-
ment of great practical value.
The questions now uppermost in
Philadelphia and in process of solu-
ton give peculiar timeliness and in
terest TO the expert Investigations of
practical men under the auspices Of
the National Civic Association.
There is hardly a doubt of the wis
dom and advantage of municipal
ownership of gas. water, electrical.
street railway and subw7Y franchis-
es. but there is very grave doubt Of
the administrative ability Of the
municipality.

Commenting on the bishops bill
and saloon legislation, the Trenton
Times says:
In the discussion of the Hutchin-
son liquor measures at the State
House Yesterday it was made plain
that the greatest source of evil in the
saloon is the back room, where de-
PRAYED women and young girls are
sold Intoxicating liquors. On this
phase of the question, as well as that
of the sale of drinks to minors, the
duty of the legislature is plain.
The speakers favoring the Hutchin-
son bills were temperate in their talk
and took especial pains to point out
that their war was only against the
abuse of liquor and not its use. All
they ask is that some stringent law
to suppress the recognized evils be
placed on the statute books.
I'VE are not trying to ruin the sa-
loon business, but to get at its
abuses" aptly declared one of the
speakers. I'VE are after the wretch
who keeps the back room in his sa-
loon. the man who thinks more of a
dollar than of a maiden's virtue
The local option scheme has been
defeated, but the Legislature must
pass a law abolishing the back room
and side door in the saloon, and pro-
hibiting sales of intoxicating liquor
to mere children. The Hutchinson
bills may be too broad, but the min
listers have shown a disposition to be
fair. and no doubt will be willing to
accept such a compromise as will save
the children and girls.

FRIDAY, MARCH 8.
METERS WOULD Do 1T.

The water board is going to en-
lploy six men to cover the entire city
to ascertain the number of taps in
| use in each house in order to make
the right charges This money might
better be used toward putting meters
throughout the city. Then people
can have as many taps as they want
and they pay for exactly the amount
of water they use-no more, no less.
AS it is, many of the taps not now
paid for, will be taken off within the
next few days and the people will use
only those for which they are paying,
until after the inspector has called,
then, within a few months the city
will be in the same condition as be-
fore. OF course. the inspection can
not help but do some good and doubt
less the income of the department
will be decreased thereby, but the
only true way is to pay for what you
use. fave meters on every tap and
let the people use as much as they
like, with faucets all over their prop
klrty if they so desire.

Editorial Page Of the News.

On the surface the effort is purely
humanitarian. and much sympathy
has been aroused. Mayor Mcclellan,
Secretary Elihu Root and Grove
Cleveland have been induced to write
letters on the subject, and now a
commission has reported that the
water supply of Staten Island is pol
luted by population and contaminat-
ed by sea water. The commission
advocates the purchase of the private
water plants and appraises them at
$3.50 600, which is a good price for
a |discredited supply.
Staten Island is to he supplied with
water from the Catskills, but the de
livery is ten years distant, and the
authorities want to buy water from
New Jersey temporarily.
The attempt to sell water from this
state has an interesting history, and
it is possible that few if any of those
now advocating the scheme would
care to have anything 10 do with 1t
if the history were made public

The water plant at Tottenville, S.
l., seems to be well able to care for all
the towns and villages down at this
end of the island and, except for some

A Good Residence Street.

What constitutes a good residence
street? Shall we not agree that in
asmuch as residences, of whatever
kind, should be clean, quiet, restful
homes, and centers of family life,
residence streets should give first
of alias much cleanliness, quiet
and privacy as possible. Privacy,
however, in cities is rare and costly,
because il "a separation from
ones neighbors such as is rarely
found in tenement houses. Quiet
also, in large cities is rare and cost
ly, but it is rarer and more costly
than it need be, because much of the
noise which finds its way into dwell

of vehicles over unfit pavements, or

LIGHTS ON W BOATS.

The movement started by the Rar-
itan Yacht Club to have all power
boats show the required lights at
night is a step in the right direction.
The reckless manner in which some
Of these boats dart about after dark
has almost entirely driven the pleas
ure of rowing from our shore. Many
persons, who do not own power boats,
used to enjoy hiring a row boat and
spending an hour or so on the bay Of
a summer evening, but Of late years
it has become so dangerous and the
fear of being run down has become
so great that men will not venture
out with their families,
1t is anything but pleasant to be on
the water and hear the chung" Of
a power boat, but not know whether
it is coming directly at you or not.
1t is not pleasant to be calling out all
the time, for the boat may not come
within a hundred yards Of you and
you make yourself ridiculous. If the
power boat had lights all this would
be avoided. The man in the row boat
or any other craft could keep out OF
the way and if there was danger Of
a collision a warning could be given.
