nELAMARE AND DUCKS.

r tho Smyrna Times we ind the following interesting
biz of news:
Bay shore the Delaware bay say there are
many black ducks nesting in the marshes along the bay
and river this spring Such occurrence was rare,
they say when the shooting of wild ducks was per-
mted i'm the spring. The fowls were frightened away
and went to other localities TO build their nests The
native baymen have watched with much interest the
of the wild birds They predict that the iedera
protection of the migratory game birds and the chang
ing the open cunning season not to interfere
with the breeding will result in the nsural and rapid
restocking of the bay with ducks.
Nor will ducks be the only wild fowl which will
learn that the marshes woods Of Delaware are safe
places for them under the Federal law It's enforcement
should result in few years in making our State
avorto haunt for many beneficial birds which pract-
cay disappeared before the persistent and merci-
onslaughts Of conscionets meathunters aud gun

Further, this exclusive section

THr OTHER slDE OF MuNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.


UNlcIPAL ownership Of public utilities has worked
III to advantage in certain instances but in many
others It has been fiat failure.
From advocates Of such ownership we hear much OF
the successes and but little OF the failures.
clcnn Marston has compiled a list OF 200 instances
in which municipal ownership failed to produce the
results claimed for It by its advocates He has set
them forth in circumsantial detail The list covers
electric light plants, plants water plants ahu
street railways embraces cities and towns In most
OF the States in the Union
The list shows that the municipalities have been es-
pecaly unfortunate in their efforts to run their own
electric light and plants and that scores OF them
have abandoned municipal ownership for private own
ership and operation
Il is an interesting list embracing cities and towns
of all sizes It shows that municipal ownership has
been by no mean panacea for the ills complained OF
by those who advocate t ard that large amounts OF
money have been lost by towns that embarked upon IT,
especially the sale Of and electric current for
light and power purposes
