LIVING HERE AND ABROAD

The above named subject has been
discussed by the American Economic
association, at its meeting ut Wash.
ington, the past few days. The ere.
alton Of an international commission
was urged to study the increase of
living costs ~ seen on both sides Of
the water
The rising cost of loving is no
merely American subject. The Ger.
mans are worried about il. Their
government recently studied the ac.
count books of 900 Of their families
They found that the average family

in n year. .t...
At the same time. the increased cost
OF living means to pinch much more
sharply here than abroad. One can
SEQ that by looking at magazine
index. our magazines are full Of
articles on the subject, but the En.
ropean periodicals. have treated the
question but little. 50 that il must he
less pressing.
One reason is no doubt that the
English and other foreign peoples are
getting many things very cheap
through municipal ownership of a
whole range OF public services and
through cooperative stores and buy.
ing associations.
OF course, municipal ownership
might or might not work well here.
The fact that il has made compara-
lively little progress this side of the
water is because the majority Of our
people have believed that IT would
not lower tho cost Of public services
to the consumer. ..,
Over In England, for instance, the
average price for gas is ~ TO 90 cents
per 1000 feet. In this country the
average price of gas must be consider
ably over 81 q thousand feet. The
average street ear fare in England Is
l.s2 cents per ride, compared with
our o cents, often O.. I.|
Thus we begin TO see what our con.

Had il not been fos this widespread
graft, we too might have made a sue

are, the voter has nothing to gain by
taking the graft away from the bust,

The careless handling of discarded SigarStta butt set fire to the contents of a garbage can located at the foot of Bay street, Tuesday morning. The ire was exfdnguished without damage by q couple of buckets of water, This led c property owner at the 1ill tC remark something like this; These garbage receptacles should not be t9l- erated and 1 am going to see to 1t that they are removed. Those people who have little stores and hand-me down shops have these cans for their refuse which is carted away at the expense of the Watch Hill Improve ment society, while 1t costs me $100 a season to have refuse carted away from my place. 1 will withdraw my annual contribution of $50 to the i'm provement society If these cans are permitted to remain for the accom- modation of those shopkeepers, and many ether contributors will do like wise if r say the word"
 Policeman Ellery Barber ventured to say that the garbage cans were used mostly by visitors, who threw thelr waste paper, banana skins, lunch boxes and the like in the cans, instead of in the street. With the cans removed the street would be filtered with paper and other refuse, he said, and instead of having a clean street 1t would be a disgrace to Watch Hill.
 To this Mir. Property Owner replied: Tt is your duty to not permit such use of the public street, but if you can't do 1t, 1t is up to the town of Westerly to keep Bay street in clean condition, and I'll see that the town does it. The town has a street clean CT in High and Main streets, and I'll hire a man at work in Bay street at the expense of the town. But mark what I say, my man, these garbage cans must go"
