"PUBLIC CONTROL

Boston is vastly taken up with
what viii be done w!th-or to
the Boston Elevated railway. the
street car, subway, elevated and bus
transportation octopus which al
tempts 70 serve the myr;ads Of
strap-haueers in that city. In par
ttcular, the stock owners Of the
company are what might be term
ed i1censed. The easy picking seems
to BE- in Jeopardy.
Five years ago the CITY entered
into an agreement with the com
pany 70 appoint board which was

pus. Certain dividends We're virtual
ly guaranteed and the many cities
and towns in the metropolitan area
were to he assessed a pro rata
share o. the deficits, Il any
The first thing that happened IN
der this species OF public control
was a doubling OF the fares, these
going from five up to ten cents. This
rather took the edge off the brill
ltancy OF the scheme: but the pa
pers were signed and there was
nothing 20 do about It but grumblc
and pay.
Now the contract Is terminating,
and naturally the stock holders
would have liked il to be renewed
this time for Is years. This ex-
tension Of time indicates how they
liked public control"
The legislature weighed the mat
ter carefully, however. and no re-
newal is to follow. The claim was
made that the right to assess towns
by the public controllers OF the
street transportation system
amounted TO levying taxes and
greatly interfered with the financial
budgets Of the towns assessed. Any
way, the people did not like the
idea OF paying the piper in this
manner for another 25 years. A
substitute plan is to renew the con-

Down in Philadelphia some
what similar situation has arisen,
only different method is in pros
pect. There the city has been ad-
vised TO set aside a sum OF money
each year and in about 90 years
there would be enough on hand,
with l1-a-rost, 10 buy out the inter-
ests o. the stock holders Of its
street transportation system. Thus
the city would have something to
show for the expenditure OF lis
Inoney-it would own the company.
IN boston the 1o-year plan would
have meant paying out as much if
not more money and at the end Of
the period the same owners would
sim be in the saddle.
Philadelphia says that if the tax
payers are going to spend millions
Of money 20 maintain their trans
portation system they might as well
own It; conditions couldn't get
worse, anyway.
Small wonder that Boston is
looking toward Philadelphia for
tips on how to 80 about tanning its
white elephant.
