Gas Works..

OSS
Richmond, Va, is cited by Mr.. Be
mis- as a city where a municipal gas
plant has not Only reduced prices, but
has also turned a profit into the city
treasury. The city authorities declin-
ed, however, to permit a full investiga
ton to be made, saying that a recent
investigation had been very unfair.
Enough was learned to show That the
Richmond plant was free from the
spoils system and from graft, and that
the wOrkmen were white men who
were paid nearly twice as high wages
as were the negro laborers in the pri-
vately owned works at Atlanta
Mr.. Bemis's review of the Philadel-
phia gas situation is in marked con
trast to that of Messrs, Edgar and
Clark. Mr.. Bemis also quotes DR..
Rowe as authority on the subject. TO
show that when direct municipal op-
Grafton begain. December, 81, 1886,
the plant had been entirely paid for
out of profits, with the exception Of
81, 1902 4S. After including the expen-
ses of collection, maintenance of
stree lamps, etc, borne by other city
departments, the net cash turned into
the city treasury during the years
1S8S-1S97 inclusive was S2,937. 1886.
To this should be added the amount
spent for extensions of the works,
mains and services, which is easily
computed from Professor Rowe's ia
ia at S~4,344.316.92. This would make
a total of apparent profit during the
eleven years of municipal operation
of S7.2S2,036.4S. Since this profit vas
computed after including the operat-
ing expenses, n the expenditures
for repairs of 8 cents to 10 cents per
1000 feet a year, the depreciation
could not have eaten up any large
part of this apparent profit.

and the tax payer, are far better in
the three municipal plants than in the
case of the two private companies
studied.
Syracuse is found to have the great
est mileage of water mains per 100
miles of streets and Indianapolis and
Chicago the smallest. The private com
panies, he points out also, have the
smaller fire protection, Indianapolis
having only 40 fire hydrants per mile
of street, New Haven SO, while Chica-
go, the lowest il this respect of the
municipal plants examined. has 7.3,
On this subject of purity and quality
of water Mr.. Bemis says:
While a high typhoid death rate
is not conclusive evidence of the bad
quality of the water supply, yet a low
typnoid death rate is absolute proof
of the sanitary excellence of the wa
ter. The following gives the death
rate from typhoid per 100, 900 of the
population in the five cities studied
The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1907-07-15

With reference to the character of
the plants, Mr.. Bemis describes the
municipal warks at Syracuse as al
most ideal. Cleveland is declared to
be better han Indianapolis, while New
Haven is deficient in the extension of
the meter system.
Under the heading Political Condi-
tions," Mr.. Bemis says:
Syracuse is the only one of the
three municipal water works studied
where the spoils system prevails.
1.-THE general popularity and sue
cess of municipal ownership in SYRIA
cuse have doubtless been somewhat
lessened, but not seriously impaired,
by the spoils system. In Chicago and
Cleveland there is practically none of
the spoils system, and in Cleveland
the head of the department mas even
greater power than in most of Il Bri-
fish plants. This Cleveland expert
ment, concisely borrowed from Eng
fish examples which have een person
ally Investigated by the mayor and
the head of the water department,
shows the possibility of profiting in
America from the fruits of European
experience. This is an apparently
s~elf-evident proposition, but one which
some deny.

Coal Miners strike.

Rock Springs, Wyo, July 15.-By
reason of the expiration of the tempo
rary agreement between the miners
and coal operators today. another
joint session will be held by officials
of the Union Pacific and Central Coal
companies and representatives of the
Mine Workers of America,
when it is expected that all difficulties
growing out of the recent strike in
this district viii be permanently set
tied. The temporary scale provided
for full recognition of the union and
an increase of 10 per cent. in the
wages of the miners. At q coming
meeting it is likely a contract will be
made that will be binding on he men
and companies for two years.
