Municipal Ownership In Prsc Seen
Through the Eyes o. a Grand Forks
Citizen.
In an article Oh the gl> situation in
Grand Forks, y. H., Light quotes I.
j. Jancy, Il prominent real estate man
of that city. as follows:
AS 4 real estate man and Il member
of the real estate holrl dill not vote
at the recent meeting %; the board for
the issue of the $2.UOD&W bonds for
the purpose of buying the gus plant,
and stated at that time to tn" board
that was opposed to the ownership
by the city of thr G.S plant
Il think that we lav" one TOO many
of our city utiltjr; already managed
and operated by Il committee of the
city council. our experience with the
water business as it is managed by
our council committr" is not onr which
would make it desirable for Ms to place
any other utility in III" han = of an
other such committee The difference
between management hy the council
committee and management hy Il pri-
vHte corporation is simply this:
"Thc council committee are grinding
their axes and making use of it for
their political interests. whereas Il pri
vate corporation has dollars invested
and looks at it only in the way of Il
business enterprise. which ii is willing
to push in any way where it can see an
increase of income One is using it for
influence and the other to earn dol
lars.
IF YOU want a water main put in
and apply to the city for it. you are
lucky if you get it inside of three or
four years. If YOU want gas main
for it, the company will have the main
in in time to deliver you gas when
your house is finished
Il should very much like to have an
option on the city water plant at the
cost of reproducing the same as it is
four months place it with reliable par
ties who would agree to sell water at
a less rate than we are now paying
and who would not ask ScmiOccaSiOnal-
ly that the city tax itself in order to
enlarge tn" plant, build reservoirs and
filtration plants. They would simply
look mt these matters as to whether
they would pay for putting in. and if
they found il would increase their in
come they would raise the money
themselves for the improvements"

name to give which, without undue
pride, was worthy of being spoken in
high places and a small fortune which,
with due pride, he could leave at his
end without disgrace.
He opened his lips to speak and
closed them again.
Who was he? Mounted Policeman
O'ROon. The badge and the honor Of
his Comradc were in his hands. If
Ellsworth Remsen, tcn-milionaire and
KnickcrbOckcr, had Just rescued pOmc-
granate blossoms and a Scotch cap from
possible death, where was Policeman
O'Roon? OFF his beat, exposed, dis
graced, discharged. Love had come,
but before that there had been some
thing that demanded preccdence-the
fellowship of men on battleflelds fight
ing an alien foe.
Remsen touched his cap, looked be-
tween the chestnut's ears and took
refuge in vCrnacularity.
Don't mention it," he said stolidly.
I'VE policemen are paid to do these
things. It's our duty"
And he rode away-rode away ours
ing noblesse oblige, but knowing he
could never have done anything else.
At the end of the day Remsen sent
the chestnut to his stable and went to
ORoon's room. The policeman was
again a we'll set up, affable, cool young
man, who sat by the window smoking
cigars.

lice force and all badges, horses, brass

A Rather Broad Hint.

There is quite difference of opinion
on the subject of municipal ownership.
There is no miStakinG the fact that it
is next to impossible to get set Of
COuncilmcn that will attend to mu-
nicipal affairs in the same spirit they
will their own affairs. That this IS the
position of the average man there Is no
denying. Setting aside all differences
of opinion, 1t is safe to say that the
plant here has furnished good service
both in water and light. That the plant
has been run ut Il loss is no reflection
on the plant, The business is here, but
no business in existence was ever sue
cessful if lot of people can get serv-
ice for nothing, and the sooner this IS
understood the better 1t will be for the

Promptly on time the counterfeit

O'Roon single footed into the park on
his chestnut stccd. In a uniform two
men who are unlike will look alike;
two who somewhat resemble each
other in feature and figure will appear
as twin brothers. so Rcmscn trottcl
down the bride paths, enjoying him
self hugely. so few real pleasures do
milliOnaircs have.
Along the driveway in the early
morning spun a victoria drawn by a
pair of fiery bays. There was some
thing foreign about the affair, for the
park Is rarely used In the morning cX-
ccpt by unimportant people who love
to be healthy, poor and wise. In the
vehicle sat an old gentleman with
snowy side whlskers and a Scotch plaid
cap which could not be worn while
driving except by parsonage. At his
side sat the lady of Remsen's heart
the lady who looked like pomegranate
blossoms and the gibbous moon.
Rcmscn met them coming. At the
instant of their passing her eyes look
ed into his. aEd but for the ever COW
ard heart of true lover he could have
sworn that she flushed a faint pink.
He trotted on for twenty yards and
then wheeled his horse ut the sound
of runaway hoofS. The bays had
bolted.
Rcmscn sent his chestnut after the
victoria like Il shot. There was work
cut out for the imperSonator of Police
man O'Roon. The chestnut range
alongside tlc off bay thirty seconds
after the chase began, rolled his eye
back at Rcmscn and said in the only
manner open to policcmcns horses
well, you duffcr, are you going to
do your share? You're not O'ROOn,
but 1t seems to me if you'd lean to the
right you could reach the rcins of that
foolish, slow running bay. All, you're
all right, O'Roon couldn't have done it
more neatly"
The runaway team was tuggcd to an
ingloriOus halt by RcmScns tough
muscles The driver released his hands
from the wrapped rcinS, jumped from
his seat and stood at the heads of the
team. The chestnut, approving his new
rider danced and pranced, rcyiling
cQuinely the Subducd bays RcmSCn,
