CITY OWNERSHIP IS
SUCCESS IN DULUTH
Gas and Water Plant Saves Con-
sumers More Than 100000
In 13 Years.

Does municipal ownership pay in
Duluth? The report of the water
and light commissioners issued this
week fully answers the question.
Duluth has. owned her own gas and
water plant for almost 13 years and
during that time there has been a.
saving to the people in gas and wa
ter rates over the rates charged by
the old gas and water company more
than three million dollars.
In round numbers there have been
saved to the consumers Of gas and
water from. 1899, to 1912 exactly
$3,17O,185.74, which is within $780,
600 of the bonded indebtedness Of
the plant.
The entire water and gas system
has been enlarged and is in better
condition in every part than the old
plant which was acquired. The oper-
alton of the plant has been estab-
Hshed upon strictly business basis.
Favoritism of water consumers has
been abolished. The business of the
department has been divorced from
the influence Of politics.
Water rates to- consumers have
been reduced from $3.50 per thou
sand cubic feet to SIS per thousand
cubic feet. The saving of three mil
lion dollars resulting from cheaper
water and gas rates has been left in
the pockets of the consumers of wa
ter and gas, something which could
not apply under private ownership
The people are now getting pure
water, something they did not have
in the old days. A regular collection
and analysis Of samples Of the water
is taken and in every instance it has
been found to be absolutely pure.
The following schedule shows
something of the growth of the gas
and water plant, it's steady increase
in receipts and its fiattering increase
in earnings:

:M0T0RMEN EMPLOYED.

Philadelphia Rapid Transit CON-
pany Investigation Conducted
BY Itself Reveals Truth.

PHILADELPHIA, March 20.-The
average monthly housekeeping ex-
penses Of married motormen and
conductors in the employ of the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit company
are 5000; or 1892 less than their av-
erage wages, according to an investi-
cation into the cost Of living con-
Quoted by the company itself.
AS basis for that average, the ex-
penses of 500 families were taken by
the company. It was found that
most of the families consisted Of four
members.
The average rent paid was $14.01,
food 1928, and other expenses av~
eraged $20.71, and now the company
is proposing. to establish company
stores for the alleged purpose of de-
creastng the cost Of living Of it's en-
ployes, and, incidentally, of course, to
draw in a few shekels for itself, in
stead Of paying to the men a living
wage. r*'

Two women fought for nearly half

With DerrH Pratt on first base,
