A Municipal Overflow.

OF the fads that have swept DER th,
country
The Lawson fad, Dunno fad and Hearst
/ think-but / may be mistaken
The fad called NJ. o. Is the worst.
The city would have N. o. bake shops
To furnish municipal bread.
NJ o. undertakers would follow
To box the municipal dead.
Wed have a municipal dentist
Who'd put on municipal crowns
All kinds OF municipal worries
To furnish municipal frowns.
A million municipal silkworms
Would weave our municipal silk;
Ten thousand municipal babies
Cry out for municipal milk.
Wed have municipal barroom.
Municipal whisky and gin.
The spree would be charged 10 the cityi
'Twosld be a municipal sin
When out IN municipal snowstorms
You'd wear an NJ. D. macintosh.
You'd go TO the N. o. theaters
To hear the municipal bosh-
You'd have TO DO full OF NJ. o. love
To please your municipal wife.
Each awful municipal moment
Would make up municipal life.
Your dear NJ o. heart would be aching.
You'd heave a municipal sigh.
II sure OF no NJ. o. hereafter.
You'd jump this II. o. life and die.

The theory Of municipal ownership
Is that municipal corporations can DO

done by private corporations at q
profit, saving to the public the amount
of the profit In reduced charges.
In the common practice OF municipal
ownership the city does for the public

been doing for a profit Usually NOT
only the profit 10 absorbed In the IN

WIN kIrkwoea shoa Down.

Some time ago the efty'ef Kirkwood.
Mo-, was reported to have shut down
the generating plant OF Its electric
light plant and made a contract for
current with a private company. The
arrangement was not however. con-
summated, FOR the company. Mayor
Ochterbsck claims, did not act In good
faith. The mayor gives the further
frank statement In regard to the mu-
nicipal plant:
.'Our plant was built about. the year
1901, and on account OF its being a
municipal matter the city did not get
an up to date plant and Is today suf-
fering from having q plant that does
not meet the requirements. and the
cost Of production L. too high; con-
sequently 1t does not pay the city II
we take into consideration deprecia-
ton and the interest on our invest
ment."

Two Diverse Estimates.

The question Of installing munich
pal lighting plant at Hancock, Mich,
has been laid arrest for FIVE years at
least, a contract for that period having
been made by an almost unanimous
vote of the aldermen. This matter has
been under discussion for some time,
and an estimate OF the cost OF plant
was obtained from an engineer. Tbs
amount Of this estimate, $4,000. seem
ed so low that one Of the aldermen got
another estimate from an entirely dis
Interested engineer. who figured that
the cost would be $4,000.

M. Q. IN MILWAUKEE.
Unwarranted Action Of the City ceun'
Gil In tbs Wisconsin Metropolis.

II you authorize an agent to pur-
chase q piece Of property for you at
$1,000 and he finds that II Will cost
$4,000 and goes ahead and buys II
without consulting you on the ground
that you had said that you wanted the
property, your words would probably
not look well in print This Is prac-
tically what has just been done In NIL
waukes, the first party being the tax
payers OF that city and their agent be-
ing the city council. Some time ago
the people of Milwaukee voted TO au-
thorize a bond issue Of $500, 600 to In
stall municipal lighting plant.
The city fathers found that the esti-
mate was $4,000 too low and passed
resolution to issue bonds to the ex-
tent Of s1,sOO,OO0. The city comptrol-
Ter at first refused to sign the neces-
sary papers on the ground that IN view
Of the great difference In cost the mat
ter should be ;again submitted to the
people. This point was. however.
overruled by the city attorney. II his
opinion Is good law, the law Is bad,
for 1t permits the agents Of the people
to abuse their powers With impunity.

Interest Goes RIGHT ALONG.

In 1898 Greenwood, S. c., issued 9
per cent bonds to the amount OF $751;
35S for a water and light plant. The
last report available shows that none
of the bonds has been paid. but the
generating plant has been shut down,
as It was found to be cheaper to buy
current. A contract has been made
for ten years. at the end Of which
period the plant Will in all probability
be too Anticipated for effective service,
so that II might as we'll be written on
the books-but the interest on the
bonds keeps right on.

conserve the Rights Of All.

Thus far municipal government In
this country has not been a success
and one Of the duties, one Of the bur
dens, of the generation now coming on
to assume the responsibilities Of citi
zenship Is the cleansing OF the Augean
stables OF municipal corruption and
the uplifting OF the tone Of state legis-
Iators, so that while the interests OF
the public shall he sacredly preserved
the rights and the reasonable profits
Of the corporations enjoying public
franchises shall be carefully and Inn
partially protected and maintained
