Civic Plumbing and Telephone.
The government of Alberta, Canada,

Manitoba by inaugurating a telephone
system, which will be supplied to any

cost. The government will build and
operate the system itself. It is ex-

take similar action.
The government of Winnipeg has
also made an advance by securing
power to put plumbing into houses,
charging up the expenses on seven
years basis, the cost being levied on
the property thus improved. The aim
is to help people who cannot afford the
