WISCONSIN, OFFICIALS - ARE
GREATLY PLEADED WITH IN:
SPECT1ON TRIP: ~

Since municipal ownership has been
attracting the attention of the resi-
dents of Devils Lake for some time
it is interesting to note that in Madi.
son, Wis, where they, have enjoyed
municipal ownership for % years, they
are more than pleased, and the plant
has paid for itself number Of times.
The following from Fon du Lac paper
describes the success of municipal own
ership of that city's water plant and
only illustrates what municipal light
plant can do.
President John F. Ahern of the Fon
du Lac Water Works commission, and
Superintendent Mason Of the local
plant returned from Madison this
morning, where they inspected the wat
er plant and also interviewed members
of the state rate commission.
The Madison plant has been under
municipal ownership for twenty-eight
years, being the pioneer in the state
in this respect. 1t was built by the
city and furnishes striking example
of the benefits Of municipal owner
ship, as it has paid for itself many
times over, and the rates are far lower
than in any of the cities in which
water plants remain under corporation
ownership.
Both Mr.. Ahern and Mr.. Mason had
words of praise for the Madison water
system, and it is probable that the
administration of the Fond du Lac will
to a certain extent be modelled after
it.
The Offices Of The ct nnission in the
Lange block. in :he quarters formerly
occupied by Superintendent Of Schools
Guy D. Smith, on the second floor, are
being put in shape and well utilized in
the course Of a few days. Though the
first Thursday in every month has been
named for regular meetings, the COM
mission is now holding sessions every
three OF four days and probably will
continue to do so for some time to
come until the large amount Of bust
ness and detail now on hand is disposed
of.
