bearing on the subject as applied to lo

demanded.
‘I submit some facts herewith, and
the advocates of municipal ownership,
so far as my observation and reading
have gone, have always been willing to
face facts—Indeed, have wielded them
as their most effective weapon.
"But this question Is not solely a
cold business proposition. This coun
try Is pledged before the world to dem
ocracy In our own peculiar local self-
government form, and future steps of
such magnitude as that under discus
sion should be squared with Its princi
ples and Ideals before the question of
'business’ should be considered. It Is
on this conjectural ground that the op
ponents of municipal ownership plant
themselves, crying that municipal own

and contract the Held of private enter
prise, and lead to Socialism, etc.

city politics the Influence of private In

The negro sank Into a stupor Sunday
night nnd during Monday morning his
mlml wns wandering. In his delirium
he expressed the thought that he was
still In Macon.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
wounded negro appears to be gradually
sinking to death, hs has not received
medical attention. His gaping wounds
i have not been dressed, even with so
much as a piece of ordinary court plas
ter.
When Jailer Chastain was asked
Monday morning If he had sent for the
county physician 6r as to whether the
physician would come to the Tower to
look after the negro, he replied:
i don't know."
People In the Jail, who had seen the
negro, agreed his condition was desper
ate, but no one seomed to know wheth
er nn effort would be made to save his
life.
The negro has one ugly slab wound
In the top of the head, two In the back,
and one several Inches In length on the
left leg. One of the "back wounds and
the one In the head are believed to be
the worst nnd responsible for the ne

8oms Cold Figurss.
A table of 48 cities of Great Britain
shows that >5 of them made a net profit
out of municipal street car lines rang
ing from 8283 to 11,290,000 annually;
the total net profit of the 35 cities be
ing 83,823,885. out of which 11,090,200
was contributed to taxation. The re
maining eleven cities of the table suf
fered a net annual loss of 3142,000. In
Glasgow, where the net profit amount
ed to 31,290,000, the car system trans
ported 57,000,000 passengers on a cent
fare. Sixty per cent of Its passengers
paid a two-cent fare, 30 per cent a
one-cent fare, 8 per cent paid a three-
cent fare, and 4 per cent paid a flve-
cent fare.
"The average cost of water In In
diana under private ownership was re
duced by public ownership from 39.75
to 34.88. In Illinois, from 38 to 35.33; In
Massachusetts, from 37.25 to 85.75; In
Texas, from 316.20 to 39.25, and In
Washington, from 317 to 810.
"In 1003 Manchester, England, made
a profit for the city of 3350,000 while
furnishing gas at 68 cents per thou
sand: Birmingham, a net profit of 3280,-
000, and Belfast, 3103,000 on gas at 60
cents per thousand, and Nottingham
made 385.668 profit while charging only
52 cents per thousand.
Elsotric Light Cost.
"In ten cities of this country operat
ing their own system of electric light
ing, there was a reduction In tgie^pst
of lights per arc yearly ranging from
840 to 3295. Aurora, Illinois, ons of the
cities In this list, reduced the cost per
arc from 3325 per year under private
ownership to 361 per year under com
plete public ownership. Already In
Great Britain 155 cities own and oper
ate their own electric plants, and there
are about 200 other cities entering upon
the construction of municipal plants.
"The foregoing figures are taken from
a book on Municipal Ownership, writ
ten by Justice 8eabury, of New York.
"There ore several general consider
ations which Indicate that municipal
ownership would reduce the cost of
operating public utilities. For Instance,
under public ownership there would be
undisputed monopoly and a consequent
cessation ef the costly war forever
raging between public Interests and
irtvate monopoly, and between con
flicting and partial monopolies. Again.
saving Is possible under municipal
-..nershlp and operation, where all the
public utilities are owned by co-ordi
nating them; frequently waterworks,
gas and electric lighting plants can be
operated together with economy. Where
they are In private hands there Is cer
tainly 'economy' In allying the differ
ent Interests of the gas and electric
lighting systems, that they may evade
the 'annoyances* of competition.
"This was done In Atlanta when
the owners of the gas and electric com
panies Identified their Interests by an
exchange of stock.
"It seems that Atlanta now has an
opportunity to treat Advantageously
with the gas company; and there Is a
new lighting and heating company
owning a contract for thousands of
electric horse power, clamoring for
franchises, without which their power
Is of little value. Are we going to sit
supinely by and see millions slip
thrpugh our fingers as we did a few
years ago when we allowed the street
railway company to grasp from with
out our reach 37,000,000 In which we all
had an Interest, snd thereby deprive us
of the greater heritage (unless we buy
It back) of an opportunity to develop
our citizenship In a broader partner
ship of society?

and whatever may be their records,
who will not give assurances that If re
elected they will vote for some other

The finance committee of the city

to reach an agreement with Mayor

outstanding indebtedness of $40,000 for

The mayor finally agreed to let the

Woodward Holdz Power,
The committee Is • unanimous In
thinking that the mayor's position Is
Inconsistent, but they are Just as uni
form Int heir acknowledgement that
he has them In a position where they
can not help themselves.
"He Just hales to give In after he
has once said he would retire from of
fice with a clean balance sheet," aald
one of the committeemen.'
Although the deliberations were
fruitless they were not lacking In life.
From the first, heated arguments were
the order of the meeting.
Alderman Qullllan was saying that
even If the town should go dry Its
financial condition would not be af
fected so much as the mayor seemed
to think when the mayor took part in
the dlspusslon for the first time.
'• You) can close ’em all up If you tfant
to,'" sa)d his honor. “One of the pa
pers has said that this temperance agi
tation has piqued me, but It hasn't at
all.’’
It seemed to be the opinion of all the
committeemen and the mayor, too, that
one of two things has got to happen
pretty soon—Increase the city tax rate
or increase the assessment.
It was also the sense of the commit
tee that the state rate should be de
creased, as Atlanta was already] paying
at least one-ninth of the taxes of t\ie
state.
Mr. Woodward said that he had
called up Chief Joyner, but that the
next mayor was in Dallas, Texas, at
tending a convention, and that he had
not had an expression from him about
carrying over some of the debts of
the present administration. It looked
to him, he said, like, they just tried
to see how. much they could pile up on
him wh8n he took the mayor s chair.
When the committee took up the
apportionment sheet as agreed on It
found where It could clip down the va
rious departmsnts like this:

“The German consular agent was at
