MUNICIPAL
OWNERSHIP
Advocated by Some Members of
the Civic Federation.
Gss and Electric Plants Owned by Cities
Give Superior Service at Relatively
Lower Cost 'Compared With
Private Plants.
Municipal operation of public
utilities in Great Britain as ob-
served by a committee of experts
sent abroad last year by the Na-
tional Civic Federation is treated
at length in a series of reviews by
members of the committee which
were made public today. These
reviews of the experts' reports.
written by Milo R. Maltbie Wal
ton Clark vice president of the
United Gas Improvement company
of Philadelphia and Charles L.
Edgar president of the Edison
Electric and Illuminating company
of Boston are divided in opinion
as to the success of the undertak-
ings as a whole.
Mr. Maltbie is one of the mem-
bers of the newly created Public
Service Commission for Greater
New York. This body has the
widest powers and the greatest res-
ponsibilities of any commission to
which" the regulation of corpora-
tions has been entrusted up to
this time in the United States.
Mr. Maltbie spent six months in
Great Britain superyisingthe work
of the expert accountants and en-
gineers. He says that municipal
operation of public utilities in
Great Britain has passed the ex-
perimental stage. He declares that
the gas and electric plants operat
ed by municipalities generally
give a superior service at rela-
tively lower cost as compared with
the privately owned companies.
This condition he finds to be due
principally to the higher rate of
interest and profit and the greater
amount of liabilities of the private
companies.
The reasons that v have led to
British municipalization Mr.
Maltbie finds are many. First
among tnem aitnougn not tne
most general nor the most impor
tant is the desire to secure for the
public the financial profits of the
undertaking. Second there is the
desire to keep the city from being
mulcted by a private company
and third the general demand for
better service at lower rates. He
mentions also a fourth cause
which has played a prsminent part
in the United States and which v
not unknown in Great Britain-
namely opposition of privately
operated public utilities companies
to the welfare of the city. A fifth
factor has been "the belief that
municipal operation would permit
the co-ordination of public services
in a way that.is not possible where
different services are operated by
private companies.
Messrs. Edgar and Clark repre
senting the corporations wmcu
have crown fat on franchises se
cured from easy going municipal!
ties admit that some form of regula
tion of private companies should
be inaugurated if the adoption of
the municipal ownership idea is
Drevented. They hold that the
solution of present difficulties is to
be found not in municipal owner
ship and operation of the public
utilities but in the election of.
municipal officers who will protect
the governed against injustice on
the part of individuals or corpora'
tions.

DEATH OF MRS. M V. GARY
Formerly Lived at Brownsville Being
Prominently Connected.
The Houston papers report the
death in that city of Mrs. Mar-
garet Vernon Gary which oc
curred on the 16th instaut.
The deceased lady was formerly
well know in Brownsville. She
resided in Matamoros with her
family during the Mexican war
in 1846 moving later to Browns-
ville. Her stepfather Mr. Edward
Winfield was the first represen-
tative in the legislature from Cam-
eron county after its organization.
She was married at Brownsville in
1850 to Maj. John E Gary.
The funeral of Mrs. Gary took
place at Houston the 17th instant.
The members of San Jacinto Chap-
ter U. D. C and of the Houston
Altar and Rosary Societies attended
in a bodythe deceased having
been a member of these

Saturdays.
There is a Spanish saying If
you are in search of a wife hunt
her on Saturday." Then is when
the true nature of the girl is made
manifest. Saturday is full of
household duties cleaning cook-
ing getting tnings ready and turn-
ing lifelongings into matter-of-fact.
The true inwardness of a person
doesa't always show up in fashion-
able clothes and company inter
course. One needs to learn if
another can turn the discordant
notes of Saturday's duties into a
melody; to see what beauty she
shows in a plain grace and a large
apron; to Know it tnere is grace in
her .motions whea she fondles the
pie crust or brushes out the parlor;
-
to discover if she still has her
radiant smile when she helps
mother peel the potatoes.
She doesn't do these things eh?
Then you cannot find out and
you run a risk. If you call Sun-
day night or when you are ex-
pected you are kept in the dark.
The glamor of appearance obstructs
your vision. This is what the
Spanish proverb means. We only
attempt interpretation. All pro
verbs have a deal of sense back of
them. This one teaches that Sat-
urday especially in the morning
when duty crowds reveals more
of a girl's tendency and outcome
then any other time in the week
If she is lolling and frowsy and
tired and good-for nothing look
iog over lace and putting away
jewelry and turning no helping
hand to the jocund duties of the
day if that is the kind of dear
sweet girl the searcher is searching
for. he will very likely find her on
Saturday. So the proverb says
We dont't know. We can hardly
believe it. But we must be faithfnl
