partment or commission for the super
vision Of all utilities operating within the
city limits. The city's Jurisdiction should
extend to matters affecting the occupR-
tion OF the streets, the quality or service
rendered and the character of the fran
chise contract entered into for the pur-
pose OF facilitating ultimate municipal
ownership. The states jurisdiction
should extend to matters relating to
composition, stock and bond issues. ac-
counts and publicity. Rates and extern
sions should be under municipal control
subject to review by the state commits
sion. The city should also have the right
to appear by its local experts before the
state commission in regard to all mat
terS affecting local interests"
Coming to certain important questions
in connection with franchise contracts be-
tween cities and public utility companies,
the committee took the ground that a
public Utility within a given urban com
munity is natural monopoly and that
one OF the first and essential obligations
Of such a monopoly Is TO extend its serv-
ices TO meet all the legitimate needs OF
the community. Accordingly, the munich
pal authorities ought to have the right
to initiate extensions. and the reasonable
ness Of any particular extension should
not be determined solely by the prospec-
tive profit from it's operation as a separ-
ate unit, but by its effect upon the profits
Of the entire system.
Indeterminate FranchIses.
The committee recommended the inde-
terminate franchise with a maximum time
limit, on the principle OF the recent trac-
tion settlement franchises granted IN
Chicago, Cleveland and New York CITY
Opposition to the Wisconsin type of in
determinate permit was based on the
fear that il tends TO become perpetual
as II can be terminated only by purchase
and purchase means payment of the
( fun value in cash in a lump sum at ths
time Of purchase. This. il was said, tend,
I to make municipalization more difficul:
as time goes on.
The committee favored the idea OF
making utilities commence 20 pay for
/ themselves, even under private operation

dress before the National Geographic

And" he said, no matter what the

Before distinguished gathering OF

TORONTO. Nov. 15-Regulation Of

condemned in a report submitted to the
oineteenth annual meeting OF the Ma
tionsl Municipal league today by the
rommlttee on franchises The report
submitted by the chairman, Dr. Delos
a. Wilcox OF New York City dealt with
the relation Of municipal home rule to
the control Of public utilities.
The committee pointed out that public
utilities are primarily urban in character
and that. on general principles. the CON
trol OF public functions should be local
tEed as much as possible, In order to Sc
pure the interest and effective co-opesp-
tion OF citizens. Moreover, as prso-
tical matter, the more powerful the cor

spread their services, the more important

IT may easily be possible said the
report, that an Gpp0intiye state o0In-
mission will fall more or less completely

1t is particularly desired that all
Young orchards that have been

right in pruning. Therefore, every
one who is interested in q young

CanarIes Aid Church Choir.

Canaries, caroling an unusual &C
compartment to the organ and choir,
were used in q London church recent
ly. The pastor. the Rev. Fenwicks
L. Holmes, decided to surprise his
flock with the unique plan. The con-
gregation accordingly fled into q
church frightened by the melody Of e
dozen pretty yellow birds, imported
from Germany, their cages swinging
at advantageous points high above the
heads Of the worshipers. The canaries
interrupted the sermon very little.
But when the choir and the congre-
cation arose to sing hymns the feather
ed songsters burst forth into musical
cadence which greatly enhanced the
human praise Of the Creator. Mr..
Holmes does not know that canaries
were ever used before at church serv-
vices, but he thinks them a great help
to sincere worship. They will be used
every Sunday hereafter.
