YEARS AGO the city of San
Francisco built an electric street
railway system. Since that day. a
constant political campaign has
been waged for the city TO acquire
the competing private street rail
way system. In spite of increased
cost of operation. the private street
railway, which is subject to public
regulation, has not been allowed to
raise its fare above five cents.
At last the San Francisco mu-
nicipal railway has taken over the
private company. And now. mark
this: on the day the change oc-
Cured, the city started collecting
a seven cents fare, which had al
ways been denied the private COM
pany!
Political pressure has long been
put on the people of San Francisco
to force them to buy the electric
distributing system of the private
electric company. Some six or
eight times, they have voted it
down. The experience of the re-
cent rate boost the moment the
railway became a mon
opoly, should be a pretty good
warning of what might happen un-
der a municipal monopoly of the
city's electric system. 1t would be
free from state regulation of rates.
II would Immediately claim mil
lions OF dollars of tax exemptions,
which would have to be made up
by remaining taxpayers.

lated and taxed, whereas govern

phoon bombers shortly afterward
scored several hits on her as Ger
man trawlers pulled her off the
beach under an ineffective smoke
screen. The filters and the Germans
then apparently abandoned the sal.
wage attempt.
The Athabaskan only Wednesday
was credited with a major share
in sinking another German de-
stroyer in night fight off France
between a Nazi flotilla and a Bri-
fish force consisting of the Bril-
fish cruiser Black Prince and de-
s1royer Ashanti and the Canadian
destroyers Athabaskan, Haida and
Huron.
Saturday morning the Athabas-
kan and Haida, both new 1906
ton tribal class destroyers, were
again on a pre- invasion sweep
when they met two C rman de-
stroyers of the Elbing class near
the island of Ushant (OuessanD off
the western tip of France.
One German destroyer was bit
repeatedly during the engagement,
driven ashore and left in flames,
the Admiralty said, and the other
fled.
A few survivors of the Athabas-
kan were picked up by the Haida,
which itself had suffer d no cas-
ualties, the Admiralty said.
The Berlin radio said IS Canad-
ians were picked up alive by the
Germans.

be sunk, was commissioned about
