New York Worst Governed City In The World

Crank ]. Cohen, formerly Master of
Works Corporation Of Glasgow, Scot
land, made a lengthy local study of
New York conditions. Although not a
Socialist, his conclusions point so
thoroughly the advantage of wiping out
private profit from public industry that
the following article from his pen is
reproduced entirely from the New
York Sun, of May ~
Early last fall left the city Of Glas-
gov, Scotland, after fourteen years OF
uninterrupted public service, to make a
tour. of the world / arrived in New
York with the intention of remaining
a fortnight or So but many months
have gone by and l am stiu here. This
circumstance is hardly of great mo-
ment to the people Of this city, but
the cause Of my prolonged stay has its
origin in facts that will prove interest
ing and even startling to the public
My purpose in coming to New York
was to bring home to my people some
of the lessons which l was led to be-
lleve could be learned only in this
city, reputed the leading metropolis
in the world. Btu to my great sur
prise and establishment, after had
been here only short time, / found
that the situation here is nothing
short Of appalling, and decided that
New York, instead of being the best
governed city in the world an inn
preston that prevails abroad, Is abso-
lutely the worst.

Furthermore, instead Of finding my
self in the position Of a student, ready
to transmit to his people enlghten-
ment in regard. to better government,
was being persuaded on all sides to
teach the people Of this city to emu
late GLASGOW in the marvellous NUM-
cfpal achievements which have made II
admittedly the finest and best gov
erned city in the world.
l had to travel all the way to New
York to find what q wonderful munir
cipality Glasgow was. This discovery
was q flattering testimonial to the work
Of my colleagues and myself during
the past fourteen years, but the ac-
companying discovery that, New York
was dragging at least half a cen-
fury behind Glasgow was a distressing
indictment of the American public and
its representatives.
Glasgow and New York are con-
structed along the same lines CONNER
cially, industrially and otherwise. What
can be done there can just as easily
be done here. In fact, more easily,

What can we do?" he asked help

AS far back as 1859 initial steps to-
ward the establishing of municipal
lWashhouses in Glasgow were taken and
in 1878 the first of these were opened
We now have tWenty-four of these
public Wasihhouses where the wives Oh
! workingmen may bring their soiled
linen at any hour of the day and dc
all their washing for one penny. You
still cling to the primitive method here
Nowhere in Glasgow can there be seen

Our washhouses are plain substan-
tial buildings located in the most popu-
lous districts of the city and quilt with
design for use rather than for orna-
ment. These houses are equipped with
the latest improvements. A woman
brings the family wash, pays penny
and is assigned compartment which
she occupies alone until she is through

she turns on an electric switch and in
few minutes her soiled articles are
delivered to her Immediately clean
All the. work may be done by power
but there are facilities for washing
delicate articles of apparel by hand
There are simple devices for control
ling the speed of all apparatus.
When the wash has been thoroughly
cleaned and disinfected it is hung in
a large. drying compartment and one
hour after she has arrived a woman
may have her days wash entirely done
These wash houses have proved a
blasting to the working class. Clothes
are no longer in danger of acting as
disease carriers. A delicate woman is
no longer at disadvantage in keeping
her household in clean, and sanitary
condition. One hoaF. a week all that
is required to assure clean linen for
the largest family. Children need not
be neglected, backs need not ache, and

Glasgow calendar
Americans are very proud of their
enterprise and success, but what has
this enterprise resulted in? What good
has the great bulk of the population
derived therefrom? From the point of
view of Glasgow citizen your success
is meaningless and fruitless. There we
recognize as a good government only
that one which has served to its utmost
the safetry and comfort of the people.
This you have not done. The govern
ment here looks after the minor and
trivial interests of the people and for
greater services it turns them over to
predatory interests whose sole purpose

promptly delivered. If he want it
done in a hurry he adds 10 cents more
and has it sent by special delivery. But
wnen he has a message of extreme i'm
portance and wants it delivered with
greatest possible haste the Govern
ment declares its usefulness at an end

poration, which charges him a most
eXorbltant rate for few words. re-

Now why on earth cannot the Gov
eminent take care of any kind of mes
sage, slow or fast; and extend it's CHEAP
rates to apply even to letters requiring
great haste. In Glasgow we recognize
no difference and the postoffice handles
all kinds Of messages at very reason

government to serve the public with
economy it shirks its duty most de-
plorably and SO you have come to be
preyed on by monopolies which have
no reason to exist,
1t is true that your sanitary condi-
lions are very good, but for all that
you spend a great amount of money on
disease, hospitals, and so forth. In
Glasgow we spend our money on
healthy, strong citizens to keep them
healthy and strong. In that way we
reduce our expenses in maintaining
hospitals. For this reason our death
rate is exceedingly low.
Our public baths are models for the

because the Corporation of Glasgow

The trouble with New York is that

the 100000. In Glasgow we consider
not the few but the million, our present
population. We put the comfort of the
people above profit.

liceman, turning aside to expectorate,
"cut out the hot air, will yer, and tell

This was my first experience with
the well known American characteris-
tic Of brevity and directness. In my
country, it is the custom to go about
everything easily and gracefully and
merely wanted to show the policeman
the great respect felt for him and
the city he served, but he cut me off
promptly.
This directness, this helter-skelter
go-aheadness of the American people

times. For, with all your rush and hur-

energies are wasted in friction and the
