MANY LOSSES RESULT

Financial Wrecks and Give Un-
satisfactory Service.

New York. April 22-MunicipaI own
ership of public utilities. both here and
abroad. has been attended by financial
disaster, unsatisfactory and INADEQUATE
service, bad housing conditions or dis
sipation OF civic energy in every case,
according to Arthur Williams, who dis
cussed the subject comprehensively at 4
recent session Of the Finance Forum Of
the West Side Y. NJ. C. A. in New York
City.
This country" said Mr. Williams,
happily Possesses but few glaring ex-
amples of inefficient public utility
service, for, with a few exceptions,
municipal ownership on a large scale is
yet untried. However, we are not wholly
inexperienced. The State Of North Caro-
lima operated a railroad for nearly half
a century, During this time the serv-
ice was restricted and unsatisfactory
and dividends were never earned. The
first year of private operation found
roadbed and equipment improved to a
condition never before approached with
the service for passengers and freight
nearly doubled.
Failure in Texas.
THE experience of Texas, with her
State-owned railroads. has been equally
costly and unsatisfactory. and the rail-
soon as 4 buyer can be found. The road
has never earned its operating expenses.
Between January, 1911, and August, 1913,
the State lost more than $4,000. accord
ing to the governors special message TO
last years legislature.
1T would seem that the Panama Rail-
road, conducted under as ideal condi-
tions as can ever be expected in the
public operation of any utility. Would
offer an excellent example of efficiency
and public convenience. Yet the orficial
reports show that the operating cost
has been nearly seven times higher than
the corresponding cost OF other roads
privately conducted. The absolute dis
regard of time tables, the arbitrary TAX
ing of Of trains and the limiting of
passenger and freight facilities, have
been frequently noted in the daily press.
Canada's Costly Experience.
THE Canadian government examining
the National Trans-Continental Railway
found that more than $40, ,0Oo, 900
had been needlessly thrown away. The
original cost estimate for about 1900
miles was s61, ,416,0OO. More than 800, ,0oO. 900
