Private Companies Better.

All this talk of municipal owner
ship which has been going the rounds
here of late is ill advised, in my opin-
ion. 1t isn't practical. and every city
has found to its cost that poorer Scrv-
ice has been derived from municipality
owned plants than from the corpora
tions owned and run on business prin-
ciples by private capitalists.
Statistics bear me out III 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
n clear schedule for light every night
at Il 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 1t
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
politics is bosh. AS long as human
nature remains the same it will not be
done, no matter who gets the office

CITIES QUIT BUSINESS.
Municipal Lighting Plants Prove Ex-

The city electric plant of Laurens,
S. c., was installed in 1897 at cost
of 100000. The generating plant has
now been shut down, a contract for
current having been made with n pri-
vate company.
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, "it didn't pay eX-
penSes." Another citizen writes that
the sale was due to dissatisfaction
with municipal management"
Portland, Ind, installed an electric
plant in 1892 at a cost of $4,000. Six
years later the generating plant was
shut down, and Il contract for current
was made with Il private company.
The village electric plant of Lock
port H., installed at a cost OF 5000.
was leased about a year ago to the

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

The board of public works has an
urgent duty to perform in 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 n systematic busi-
nesslike policy in the management Of
the plant.
Although it 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 it alike to them
selves and to the city to approximate
the methods of business corporation
as closely as possible in the manage
ment of the waterworks.
If the members find it Incompatible
with the cxigencies 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 insubordlnation. incompetency.
jealousies and rccriminations which
have been shown to exist among the
employees, from highest to lowest, pre-
sent situation hardly less danger
Gus and disgraceful than the recent
disclosures il regard to the unsafe
and inefficient condition of the plant
The plain duty of the board is first
to weed out the incompetcnts and those
who are playing politics and next to
reorganiZe at least the mechanical
branches of the department on IL strict.
nOnpartisan, business basis.
The people Of this community are
tired Of the everlasting sGUabbles and
alarms in regard to the water supply
that have come TO ligat with each new
administration Gs well rs OF the con-
slant demands for money to Go things
which should have been done and were
represented falsely to have been done

A NEW ERA
IN FROsTBURG

After many years. the citizens OF
Frostburg have begun to awake to the
fact that. notwithstanding their town
is one of the wealthiest and most
prosperous in the country, there has
been little or no interest taken in the
buying and selling of real estate.
There has not been, until recently
anv real estate movement in Frost
burg, and the result has been that
values have remained very low for
all the property in the town, compared
to values of real estate in other towns
OF the same size elsewhere.
There is a growing feeling that this
state of affairs has reached an end,
and that the town is on the threshold
of a new era of growth and business
progress. and a natural result of this
will be higher prices for real estate.
new government building is to
be built at once which will add great
ly to the appearance of the town.
Many new residences are now IN
course OF construction; the order has
gone out changing the streets from
mud TO brick paving and the work is
being started now.
But the main reason for a new
growth of the town lies in the fact
that the coal-mining industry has
taken on new life. While the Big
Vein coal is not a virgin field, much
of it still remains to be mined, and it
will be mined for many years to come.
The thin vein, or Tyson vein, for years
considered of little value, has dem
onstrated its superiority in the coal
markets, and the opening and devel-
opment of this last named seam
means new life and prosperity to the
whole region surrounding Frostburg
By recent decision rendered by
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, the 15-cent differential rate
against this seam of coal has been re-
moved thereby enabling the operator
to mire and market it at good pro-
ft: and following this, the large
operating companies are already open
ing new mines and prospecting for
levels in contemplation of new open
ings. so that the production of small
vein coal is increasing-tO take the
pleace of any decrease the Big Vein
and increased production of coal from
the region for the next thirty to forty
years.
This statement may seem eXagger-
ated to the reader, but if any doubts
are entertained as to its truth, the
statement can be fully confirmed by
referel the officials of the coal
compal )erating in the region
SurrOun ..
This new spirit and new growth, as
stated above. means much to Frost
burg and will lead to growth and in
creased values for all kinds of real
estate, and especially so to desirable
residence property.
The Eckhart Flat long looked upon
by Frostburg people as the most de
Sirable site for residence in the town.
has never been placed upon the mar
