Cleveland's former mayor, who had
much to do with advancing the cause
of municipal ownership in the United

equal to that of any American city,
but directs and manages all the

In Wellington, New Zealand, the

help noting the wonderful progress
that municipal ownership is making
in the United States. The fight for
municipal ownership of the new sub
ways to be built in New York City
has finally resulted in a compromise,
and New York City will invest the
colossal sum of $163, 100000 in the
dual ownership of a system of sub
ways. The Interboro Rapid Transit
Co. and the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Co. will also invest like sum. Thus,
$3.50, 900, 900 will be expended for the
new subways, which are needed to
transport the people of the metrop->
oils.
Chicago, the second city in Amer
lea, which now receives So per cent
of the profits of the street car system,
is negotiating for further extensions
on basis of receiving large sum
annually for a period of years, which
will eventually result in the city own
ing the entire system of street rail-
ways and subways.

BISHOP LAWRENCE'S
goth ANNIVERSARY
is OBSERVED TO-DAY

Boston, Oct. Elm recognition of
the goth anniversary of the consecra-
ton of William Lawrence as seventh
Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of
Massa chusetts, in succession to Philip
Brooks, a special diocesan service was
held in ST. Pau1's Cathedral, today.
Ten Bishops and more than 100 cler-
gymen formed in Park Street Congre-
gationa1 Church and marched to the
cathedral, where the principal feature
of the service was an address by Bish-
op Lawrence. Later in the day the
Bishop was presented with hand
some desk and chair.
In his address, Bishop Lawrence
said:
''I have lived long enough to see
many forms of heterodoxy and dan
gerous ecclesiasticism become ortho-
doxy and accepted standards. I have
not seen that the ecclesiastical trials
of the past generation have suppress
ed error or advanced the truth.
Taking the clergy of the diocese
as a body. 1 have found them high
minded and with good deal Of force
and originality. A clergyman must be
of fine, pure and high character, gen
taI but never frivolous, social but
never unidentified. A difficult com
bination is it not?"

WESTPORT SETS new
MARK In SMALL LIST
OF TOWN COURT CASES
Utilities Commission Meets To-
morrow to Consider State
Street Bridge Question
(By Our Special Correspondent

(By Our Special Correspondent
Westport, Oct. 6. - 1t is believed
that Westport has established a, name
for itself among other towns Of tine
state in the matter of arrests so FAR
this year. Towns the size of West
port and even smaller have far out
stripped Westport in this particular.
in fact some of them are giving al
most daily attention to court cases
However a criminal action in the To-
cal court are few and far between 1t
can probably be stated that for the
months of June, July, August and
September there has not been a dozen
court hearings in town. AS COM
parison Westpoft's nefghbor, Fair
field is just the opposite. There court
cases average about one each day.
Can it be that Westport's police Of
Walls exercise less vigil than other
towns? 1t can be positively stated
that just as much vigilance is shown
but that more judgment is used by the
arresting official. Records of the lar
gest cities of the country show that
the best officers are not those who
make the most arrests but those
whose record sheets show the least
number. They are referred to as
officers who use common good judg-
ment.
AS a result, the known vigilance of
the authorities and the fewer arrests,
makes Westport a better town to live
ports police officials fortunately do
erings of people gather and reside.
