Harvey Williams made his bill one
to reduce the speed of automobiles,
which now run so very fast through
our streets. l notice he is an em-
ploye of the Peoples Railway Com
pany, but surely not as a motorman.
or, at least, his bill does not sound
like it.
] do not believe a more careful set
OF mOtOrmen could be found anywhere
than those in our city and a desire
TO hold one responsible for that when
he could not avoid, or help. does nor
seem altogether right. The writer

OWNERSHIP.
To the Editor Of THE EVENING
JOURNAL:
Sir-In a recent editorial you COM
mented on the failure of municipal
ownership in several small towns in
Southwestern Canada. and attributed
these roputed failures to the fallacy
of the principle of municipal Tor
public) ownership generally. VIII
you kindly answer the following
queries:
To what do you attribute the sue
cess of tho public ownership of street
railways i'm San Francisco. and the
electric light system in Seattle?
If according to Duns Mercantile
Agency 95 per cent. of all individual
enterprises eventually fail, to what
do YOU attribute this failure?
And even if it were true. that
municipal ownership has proven a
failure in a few isolated cases, which
you cite as proof of the failure of the
principle of municipal. or public.
ownership Of public property. does
the failure of so large a proportion
os individual enterprises prove the
fallacy of individuals operating pub
lie property for private profit?
To what do you attribute the mis-
cry of large numbers of the working
population i'm those cities, which. like
Wilmington, do not have public own
ership Of public property?
DO YOU think that those means Oi
production and distribution which the
people use in common should be
operated for private gain or for the
common welfare?
