FAILURE IN BOSTON.
Municipal Ownership Tried by the
Hub, but Found Wanting.

II Was Voted In 1906 Not to Try to
Establish Municipal Gas and Electric
Light Works Because the City Had
Already Shown Its inability to Garry
on Public UtIities-Flstory OF the
Unsuccessful Attempts.
In 1906 the city council Of Boston
voted against attempting municipal gas
and electric lighting on the ground that
the city had already proved its inabil-
ity in such matters by q succession Of
failures in various trading enterprises.
In 1907, for instance, Boston estab-
lished a municipal printing plant. Five
years later, in 1902, Harvey Chase, an
expert accountant, who was eXamin-
ing all the city departments for Mayor
Collins, and Thomas P. NichoSe9 an cX-
pert printer, reported that the plant
had already lost over $4,000 and that
a greater loss was avoided only by
charging other departments more than
they would have had to pay outside
printers.
They also reported that at the time

etc, bought at great expense and liza

record of its use; that excessive rates

necessary number Of employees in al
divisions Of the department, who add
ed to the expense and subtracted from
the efficiency; that disposition to xii
time was manifest and that in spite OF
the fact that the hours Of employees
were shorter than in private plant!
less was accomplished per man pc
hour worked.
The operation Of two ferry line:
from Boston to East Boston, which
were bought by the city in 1850, loom
ed I'D as another object lesson. Unit
1870 the ferries were leased at a los
and since then have been operated b.
the city at an even greater loss. Il
1877, to be sure, the city made the mag
nffcent profit of S93.88, but in each o
the other forty-seyen years up to Feb
ruary, 1906, there was deficit vary
ing from $3.50 to $4,000 and amount
ing in all to So, 743, 54S, Or an averag
of almost $4,000 a year.
Boston's water supply, though ia
famed for quantity and quality, ful
nished but another proof that the cit
cannot do business as we'll as pr
vate corporation. Boston receives pun
water from the metropolitan waite
board, distributes 1t through the cit,

its assessed share OF the total expense.
This would seem a simple proposition,
but Harvey Chase in 1902 in his report
on the water department said: THE
lack Of proper methods for handling
transactions Of such magnitude and.
indeed, the general crudeness and
loOscness Of the capital accounts in the
watcrWOrks' bookkeeping ever since
the foundation of the plant are aston
fishing. Il There has been excess
i've expenditure for work done through
the employment Of unnecessary men,
by the employment Of aged and infrm
men and by other means whereby the
costs Of work have been heavily in
creased"
-Four years have now gone by since
the evils in these three departments
were made public in a free city docu-
ment, but nothing has been done to
remedy them. Even in those depart
ments especially investigated and re,
ported upon in considerable detail"
said Harvey Chase in 1906 "the an
nual expense today is as large as be-
fore and in some cases even relatively
larger" What surer proof Of inefti-
cheney could be given?
But even had there been no printing,
no ferry, no water tiascos, the amounts
paid recently for services Of veterina,
rians to care for the horses in the
street and police departments Of Bos-
ton would alone have been sufficient to
indicate that it would be we'll to limit
rather than extend Bostons municipal
activities
The police department in 1904 paid
$10.34 for veterinary services and med
lcine for each Of its sixty Or more
horses, an outrageous price, and the
next year paid nearly $25. The street
department. where wasting the tax
payers money in excessive veterinary
payments had come to be habit, easily
topped its own high figures in 1905 by
paying $24.20 for each Of $50 horses.
These figures were so obviously ex
cesslVe that some change had to bt
made. Accordingly the police depart
ment under a new single headed com
mission reduced its veterinary ex
