ing to the fact that local conditions in
many cases make comparisons impos-
sible. For instance, the presence Of
natural gas at Wheeling makes it diff
cult to compare the municipal plant
Of that city with the private plants
of such cities as Atlanta and Norfolk
Similarly geographical conditions must
be taken into consideration In compar-
ing the public waterworks of Syracuse
with the private waterworks of In
dianapolis. In the former city the
water flows by gravity, while In the
latter 1t must be pumped.
Nevertheless the committee desires to
warn the public against the danger Of
turning over utilities to the present gov
ernments of some of our cities which
are not up to the type Of government
In British cities. In England and
Scotland 1t finds business men taking
pride in serving as councillors or
aldermen, and the governments Of
Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham and
other cities include many of the best
citizens, affording conditions favorable

that the unwillingness Of American
cities to secure better class Of men
In their government Is due to the po-
litlcal activity of public service cor
porations. However, it Is unable
Ito recommend municipal ownership as
political panacea." In general the
committee believes that public utili-
ties, whether In public or private
hands, are best conducted under a
system Of regulated monopoly; that
utilities In which the sanitary motive
largely enters should be operated by
the public; that the success Of munich
pal operation depends on the high
capacity Of a city for self government;
that franchises to private corporations
should be terminable after a fixed pc
Rod and subject to purchase at fair
value; that cities should have the
power to enter the field Of ownership
upon popular vote; that private COM
panies should be subject to public
regulation and full publicity.
