$500 900 on a municipal theater, designed
by the famous Berlin architect, Scheeling
The Freburg theater Is one of the finest
in Europe. These municipal theaters are
able to cut out the privately owned the

Is cents, and at popular performances"
the best seats sometimes cost only II
cents.
Municipal enterprise Is handling the
natural monopolies OF electricity. gas and
transportation In a socialistic sense, in
asmuch as these are being developed on
lines Of private business energy. Every
where are being started municipal over
land centrals'' which supply electricity
far outside the radius Of the municipality
itself and bring electrical power and
lighting within the range Of isolated in
dustries and farmers. Neighboring mu-
inequalities unite for such aims. Forty
adjoining municipalities in the Westpha-
liam Industrial district lately united to
have a common electricity supply. The
electricity Is to be guaranteed and dis
tributed by a private company. In which
all the stock is owned by the munich
palities which are supplied.
Towns with municipal gas service are
showing similar enterprise. They hold
that it is not the business OF municip-
ality to sit with folded hands and wait
for custom. A municipality must trade
like a private firm. On that principle they
supply, sometimes on hire-purchase sys-
tenn, gas fittings: publish literature
booming the use of gas for lighting and
industrial purposes, and even undertake
to do all repair work gratis.

AS 1t is, the present facilities do not &C

''How about your warehouses and coal

I'VE are now planning a type Of ware
house to be built here, and are consider
ing all sorts of dock structures and
freight-handling appliances. The engi-
neers think that these things should be
settled at as early date as possible, and
the matter will soon come before Con-
gress One reason for this is that the
government is using vast amount OF
ma chinery in the building Of the canal
which can be applied to various things in
connection with the terminals. We shall
have to build dry docks and repair shops.
and there is no reason why the govern
ment should not have establishments here
which would repair any kind Of shipping
employed in the canal traffic. The ma
chinery is already here, and 1t will have
to be disposed Of when the canal is COM
pleted. There will be shops at both ends
of the waterway, although the repair
shops at Balboa will probably be the
larger. We have now a small repair shop
at Cristobal and an old dry dock there.
built by the French, which we have been
using for our work on that side Of the
isthmus."
What are your plans as to coaling ia
cilities?'
I'VE will have to have docks and stor-
age capacity for at least 100000 tons OF
coal. and we shall also need storage at
each terminal for something like $1,000
barrels Of fuel Oil. Many of the steamers
of the Pacific are now burning oil, and we
have to provide also space for any addi-
tional storage that may be required in the
future. The coal dock on the Atlantic
will be such that many steamers can coal
at one time. It will be at least 1900
feet long. The chief depots for coal
will be on the Atlantic end, the present
plans providing for 100000 tons Of coal
there. and about $1,000 tons on the Pa
cfic side.

engaging in business as competitors with
private retail dealers. The newest de-
velopment is municipal trading In food.
The impulse to this is a desire to counter
act the rise in food prices During the
last two years the high prices problem
has been repeatedly before the reichstag
and the Prussan Iandtag.
The municipalities have usually taken
the view that the high prfces-in Germany
at least-are the result Of protection, and
scores Of towns have petittoned for re-
duction of import duties. The flag OF re-
sistance has been upheld mainly by Baron

facilitate import.
This refusal has led to the towns taking
their own measures against high prices.

first municipal butchers store. The
towns thereby hope to cut out the mid
dleman's profit. Some towns have sue
ceeded In selling fish at about cents
pound below the prices of retail traders.
Experience has shown that this kind of
municipal trading Is successful only
when it Is done on a big sale.

shop was opened 1t was besieged by such
hosts that the police had to be called

visable. but. If SO. it is question for
the future"
Can you not give me some idea OF
what we should have at the terminus on
the Pacific?" asked.
Eve shall need about a mile OF dock
frontage outside the coaling docks. and
we shall prepare a sufficient area that
can be kept for the extension Of the
water frontage as required in the future.
Our plans proposed a coal dock 900 feet
long and fuel stations on the hills SO
connected with this by pipes that the oil
will flow right down into the steamers.
We shall have repair shops and, con-
nected with them, marine railroads of
pairs of tugs. barges and similar small
vessels may be made under water without
taking them into the large dry docks
And then as to the dry DOCK contin-
ued Mr.. Rousseau. 1T is proposed to
build one at Balboa so big that 1t will
handle any vessel that can pass through
the locks This dry dock will be near the
end Of the auxiliary coaling station, and
it will be entered from the canal channel
through a slip 400 feet long"
What are the present arrangements
for handling freight at Balboa?'
''They are not sufficient for the traf-
fc. The only facilities consist of a steel
wharf about a thousand feet long which
was built by the French, and a wooden
extension much shorter. The latter was
constructed since we began our work
here. These two wharves can berth only
five vessels at once, and at present the
steamships making Balboa port OF call
are often delayed. This condition is be-
ing remedied by the construction Of q
concrete wharf about 100 feet long
which will afford two additional
berths. This is being made by the Pana-
ma railroad with it's own funds. but 1t has
been SO located that IL Congress should
authorize the construction we have out
lined 1t will fit into 1t and become a part
thereof. Our plans are such that addi-
tional wharves can be constructed from
time to time as needed.
The conversation here turned again to
the repair shops proposed. and Admiral
Rousseau said:
There is one thing that think should
be clearly stated. and this is that we
hope to put the docks, wharves and repair
facilities on q strictly commercial basis.
We want them to be self-supporting and
to make the charges sufficient to cover
the first cost and also their maintenance
and operation. In addition we hope that
they will bring in something to augment
the revenues Of the canal. We want the
best Of terminal facilities for the vessels
which use the canal, but we also want to
make them sources Of revenue to the ca
nal. They will. in no appreciable degree,
