MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.

Shanghai was recently in the throes of a discussion on the question of municipal consideration being the retention of the under the control of the Municipal Council. electric lighting plant, equipment, etc., The people of Shanghai, by an overwhelm ing majority, pronounced themselves in favour of municipal trading so far as the electric lighting of the city is concerned, but nothing was said as to the desirability of the Municipal Council controlling the proposed tramway system, and it is to be presumed that the tramway concession will be given to a private firm. So many opinions are held on this vital subject of municipal trading that all views are worthy of attention. Mr. Charles. Verkes, the at American tramway magnate, is dis inatly adverse to municipal ownership. In an article which appears in a New York paper, Mr. Yerkes asserts that the municipal in London and elsewhere in Great Britain ownership of street traction undertakings has proved a fallure and is "synonymous ter". These are strong expressions, and it with incompetence, extravagance and disas has to be borne in mind that they come from an expert, but an expert who has found to his advantage to form syndicates in numerable to carry on street traction ven-
