municipal onershi aid matiagt'-uient have been advocated an I put into practice, usually marked niccecs. by many of tb leading ritu of the t'uited sates and Kur.jjie. Inwards l.teti American municipalities own and operate I heir own waterw.ir K3. i-oinething like American toons aud cities own and operate their own electric lighting plants, A ore or so of American cities, and the viiht majority of European cities, own and operate iheir own pas light plants. There are J7 Hritish municipalities that own the street railway lines, and six operate the in a well.

The results claimed for municipal ownership are: First, lower cost of public service; second, a public service better adapted to the need and demands of the people; third. In many rases a revenue to the city for ihe nse of the franchise; fourth, the elimination of the powerful and often corrupt Influence of public service corporators from city politics and city government. As shown by government consular reports, municipal ownership of gaslight companies prevails in over "0 cities of Great Britain aud Ireland, and the prevailing rate is 4i.i to 60 cents per thousand, which is less than half the average price under private, ownership in this country. The British cities, as a rule, realize net profits over and above interest on the sinking fund of the debt for the erection of the plant, besides cost of operation and iatnteuance. The change to municipal ownership has been followed by marked reduction in price.

Glasgow in twenty years of municipal ownership cut the price of gas in two, and paid of debt with the profits. The experience of Great Britain in municipal lighting Is duplicated in Germany, France, Holland, Switzerland and Russia. Berlin, a few years since, had a private gas company and a city gas works, the latter real- izlng a profit of marks per annum, vhlla furnishing the gas at 25 per cent less than the private company. The city of Paris, supplied by a private company, paid 1.60 Per thousand for gas the same year that Berlin, under municipal ownership, was paying 80 cents. Keval, Russia, where coal is comparatively dear, paid $1.25 under municipal ownership the same year that Moscow paid private companies $2.60.

The largest and most successful experi-, ence of American cities in regard to municipal lighting is with electric lighting. JJetroit. fiv years ago, by private contract pand $133.75 per arc lamp for electric lighting. The city thereupon built an electric plant at a cost of $617,000, and in the following year produced electric light at a cost of $64.19 per arc lamp for operating expenses, and Including a liberal estimate for interest, taxes and depreciation of plant, as compared with $140 per lamp by private contract that year in Minneapolis. Chicago, the same year, paid ISO per lamp as the tXACT COPY Of WRAPPER.

on the ground floor. He was accompanied by Mis. Ames, who. smiling and bowing to right and left, traversed the cnwdel hallways with undisguised pleasure. Mayor Cray remained In the council meeting and listened to the appointments with an inscrutable expression of countenance.

At 2 o'clock Superintendent of Police Ames mad' his appearance in tbe superintendent's cfllce wearing a brand new uniform. When the mayor entered his office he was confronted with an Immense bank of r.ses contributed by "many well wishers." Mrs. Ames was tho first to occupy the executive chair, which she did for a brief noment while the mayor himself was shaking hands with the advance gur.td of callers. Secretary Brown and Stenographer Win e-lock made themselves busy in the outer office. Tbe new secretary has had his h.r.ids full of business but he conducted him-ielf as an old hand in municipal a ft airs and displayed no evidence of being overloaded wUh the cares of tfiice.

K-MX()H t.HAV AI'I'IIAHH. Shortly after Mayor Ames' assumption of the executive chair. ex-Mayor Gray came down from the council room after his coat, which he had left hanging in iu accustomed place. He was greeted by Mrs. Ames with a pretty speech about the lucidity aud interest of hirf closing address, ami the mayor himself hastened to add that he regarded that same address as an extraordinary valuable public d'cttmant.

Mr. Gray said something in return about the comprehensive terseness of the mayor inaugural. After this little complimentary session, Mr. Gray reached up after his overcoat, which Mayor Ames courteously held up while the retiring executive poked his arms into the sleeves. Then Mr.

Gray said something about wishing the mayor a happy new two years aad retired from official life. All this time ue crowd in the corridors and rooms on tm? lower floor was of suffocating prop-irtiorm. The enthusiastic populace was piled three deep on desks, chairs, laila and stairwpys. The pack in the outer (dices of the police department was impassable. In the superintendent's office Superintendent Ames was receiving the keys from cx-Supprinleiidi tit Doyle, who very deliberately handed his successor all the information he had on hand, and then withdrew to renew his acquaintance with unofficial existence.

Court Officer John Fitchette and a lot more new appointees walked In to shake bands with the mayor, who held a continues levee from 3 o'clock until 5 o'clock the crowd began to dwindle and at p. m. the place had assumed something like Its normal aspect.

The closing hours of the board were fraught with many felicitous interchanges of tenliiiic-nt. A resolution thanking Chairman Wilkins for his uniform courtesy to the members cf the board during bis term of ofdee was passed, and tbe board pre-.

sented him with a most elaborated gold mounted gavel, made in many woods. Commissioner Conroy making the presentation speech. Chairman Wilkins answered fce-ingly, and took occasion to say what he felt against that class of taxpayers who had uniformly striven to get something that was not coming to thorn from the county. Willi tho other taxpayers he asserted that Ills associates had b'Hii the most pleasant. AH the retiring commissioners made short addresses In to resolution by members of the board who hold over.

The boatd extended, a most hearty resolution of thanks to their attorney. C. K. Jelley, for his s-plendid wrk on behalf of the county. Mr.

JeMcy responded by asserting that the county should have a new position created for election. They shr.tild havo an attorney, at a salary oi p. year, with an office of his oven, si parte from that of the county r.ttorney, for the position was a most Important one, and it required a good attorney. Such a ne could mora than save his salary every year to tho county. In passing the budget of bills, a claim of handed in by C.

V. Curtis, for back pay which he had been cut, as be thinks Illegally, was disallowed. A claim of C. N. Dickey, who had paid $lSi) to Horace Johnson for three mnnlhs' serviies, was disallowed.

This grew out of the fact that when the board discontinued the oillce of bookkeeper in the clerk's ctilce, Mr. Dickey put Johnson on pay as court room deputy, without consulting the board, and hc-ure Johnson was an extra man, they claim. Some other items, where Mr. Dickey had paid some of his clerks for overtime, was nlso disallowed, tho board thinking that thj clerks could have ine their work in office hours, if it had been properly attended to.

A. McDonald was not allowed $LM50, nor F. C. Pracna the same amount, for overtime In the office of the county auditor. HOtlll) OVt KM1S, The new board convened at 1 o'clock, with County Auditor Scott In the chair.

A vote was taken at once, for chairman, and resulted in the unanimous chotco of Commissioner E. P. Sweet as chairman, showing that the slate was In perfect working order. Commissioner Nash wanted the aitorney of the board appointed at once, because he had work to do. but the members were getting hungry, and they adjourned until 3 o'clock.

There were large number of expectant appointees on hand, but it was given out quietly that the commissioners would not make any, of its minor appointments until later in the month, end this cut off much of the interest in the meeting.

A writer in Paving and Engineering gives a list oi is cities wnere, oy private contract prior to the introduction of municipal ownership, tho overage price was $187 per lamp, and the average cost of operation by the cities themselves afler- I ward, when owned and ran their own pi it, was $55 per arc. lamp. In 1896 a committer of expert engineers, of which Form City Engineer F. W.

Cappelen, of Minneapolis, was one. made for the American Society of Municipal Improvements an exhaustive investigation of tbe comparative co of electric lighting ia the luiud States by city ownership and private contract, and reported that the average for that year, for a lamp, all-night schedule, was by private contract attj by city ownership and for moonlight schedule, $16.70 by private contract, and $56.67 by city ownership. This, is a saving of 40 per cent, or nearly $40 per lump, in favor of city ownership and operation of public electric lighting. Mr. Cappelen's estimate for a plant of 1,009 aro lamps, with 300 in reserve, sufficient to light Minneapolis, was $300,000.

and be estimated that the cost of lighting to the city with such a plant would not exceed per lamp. It is known that the investigation of the Minneapolis city charter commissions, both cf l9s and 1900. were strongly favorable to the proposition of city ownership and operation. Minneapolis lias experimented successfully with gasoline lighting on a rising oil and labor market, but aside from the operation of her own water plant, this is the only grappling with the great problem of the future in city government. Municipal ownership 1 would not advocate as a wholesale measure, but taken up In detail and surrounded by good business methods.

It gives the best promise of solving some of the pressing problems of urban life. IS COM I.l MOV. In conclusion, permit me to thank the retiring council for the uniform good feeling with which It has as a body received the mayor's recommendations and the personal courtesy of all Its members. The council of IKH'j-lSHM stood exceptionally high tn the public esteem, aud deserved that high standing. The new council eon-taios 18 men, a two-thirds majority of its members, who t-at In the preceding council.

Of the six members of tbe old council who stood for re-election last November, but one whs defeated, and he by a very small plurality. Three were defeated for re-Boraination and four withdrew voluntarily from public life, aioiig these being the remarkably able and conscientious president of the council. Mr. John Crosby.

But Hall having been elected by the aid of Westou votes will be expected to follow the laid down by Weston's backers, the first of which plans was an entire chauge in the ortice force.

A great change is certainly anticipated in the ofiiee by those most interested, and when It, was learned that Nelson had failed to land a place the committee even Dr Hanscom expressed the belief that "stull was off."
