This variety came to us from Den

exhibited at the Crystal palace in 1888.
This hen I was fortunate enough to
secure, and also subsequently to OBJ

Denmark. The cocks were of an al
most cinnamon color on breast and
back, with a lighter hackle, the tail
feathers were white in the center, mar
gineG round with an edging of buff, the
effect being very striking. Other I'M
portations from Denmark were made
by various fanciers, and ere long Burs
were seen which clearly indicated that
the Buff Cochin had been used to in
crease depth of color to the detriment
of the type. Later on buff birds of
other breeds were tried, so that In one

Private Companies Better.

All this talk of municipal owner
ship which has been going the rounds
here of late is i'll advised, in my opin-
ion. 1t isn't practical, and every city
has found to it's cost that poorer serv-
ice has been derived from municipality
owned plants than from the corpora
tons owned and run on business prin-
ciples by private capitalists.
Statistics bear me out in this. You
can take 100 towns that have munich
pally owned lighting plants and you
will find all sorts of schedules prevail
ing-moonlight schedules, dark night
schedules and, in fact, everything but
a clear schedule for light every night
at a stated price, no matter what
weather conditions prevail. You can't
tell anything about the cost Of these
plants, and you get poorer service.
The temptation TO inject politics into
the management of these municipal
plants is too strong for the average
man to resist, and in most every mu-
nicipally owned plant you will find it
run to the benefit of the ruling party
and not to the benefit of the citizens
The tendency is to employ friends of
the management, and all this talk of
divorcing business of the city from
politics is bosh AS long as human
nature remains the same it will not be
done no matter who gets the Office

The city electric plant of Laurens,
S. c., was installed in 1897 at cost
of $4,000. The generating plant has
now been shut down, contract for

In 1905 Pontotoc, Miss, purchased
the local electric plant for $1,000. Two
years later it sold it for $1,000 because,
as the mayor writes, lit didn't pay ex-

the sale was due to dissatisfaction
with municipal management"

THE BOARDS PLAIN DUTY.
Kansas City Editor Outlines Plan For
Redeemina Waterworks.


The board Of public works has an
urgent duty to perform ia regard to
the city water department. and at the
same time an opportunity Is afforded to
distinguished itself from all its prede-
cessors by adopting a systematic bust
nesslike policy in the management of
the plant
Although 1t seems useless to expect
the same degree of efficiency under
municipal ownership as obtains in pri-
vate corporation ownership, the mem
bers of the board owe ii alike to them
selves and to the city to approximate
the methods of a business corporation
as closely as possible in the manage
ment of the waterworks.
If the members find it incompatible
with the exigencies of their private
business affairs to give their personal
attention to the work they should at
least see to 1t that the heads of the de-
partment are competent business men
who will give their whole time to their
duties and, above all, that politics shall
be entirely eliminated from the water
department.
The INSTRUMENTATION, incompetency,
jealousies and recriminations which
have been shown to exist among the
employees, from highest to lowest, pre-
sent a situation hardly less danger
Gus and disgraceful than the recent
disclosures in regard to the unsafe
and inefficient condition of the plant.
The plain duty of the board is first
to weed out the incompetents and those
who are playing politics and next to
reorganize at least the mechanical
branches of the department on a strict,
nonpartisan. business basis.
The people of this community are
tired of the everlasting squabbles and
alarms in regard to the water supply
that have come to light with each new
administration as well as of the con-
slant demands for money to do things
which should have been done and were
falsely to have been done
years ago.-Kansas City (do) Journal.

Careless Manaqement.

investigation of the municipal water
works. Among the points of interest
in this report are the following: Def
icit for 1907, $S,OO5.79; at least % per
cent of the water pumped not account
ed for; important meters allowed TO re-
main out Of order for periods varying
from one month to two years. The ne
partment recommends a 33 per cent
increase in the rates and adds the fol-
lowing suggestive paragraph:
1--WE believe that the board of public
service should keep in closer touch
with the affairs and financial condition
of the water department from month
to month and require monthly reports
from the waterworks superintendent
as to amount of water pumped, sup
plies which probably win be needed
during the coming month and state
ment OF supplies on hand, etc.
