Tho municipal ownership of docks Is by jio means a now policy, but I think a mu nicipal ferry Is. Yot this is what wns pro posed by tho New York Herald a year ago between Statcn Island nnd Manhattan and by numerous promlnont citizens of tho former place. Tho suggestion grew out of tho dissatisfaction over the operation of tho existing franchise by the present com pony. Comptroller Coler Is a strong advoc&ts of tho municipal operation of docks. Ho be lloves that tho city should not only own them, but actually manago them, lns'.cad of leaving privato companies to reap 'argo profits from their management Ho weald buy up all docks not now owned by the city nnd run theso, together with ihoso already owned, as a department of tho city nnd as a business Investment. Ho Is tho opinion that within thirty years a sinking fund could be accumulated which would pay for tho original cost. Municipal Tclriilionra Municipal telephones, although not thus fnr actually started In this country, nro not far distant. Tho West Sldo Uuslness Men's association of Buffalo Is working for them to secure relief from tho excessive charges of the existing company. In its lssuo of April 10, 1900, tho Chicago Chronicle said "Chicago is to havo a municipal telephone system an Innovation In America. Its im mediate uso Is to be corftr.ed to the police and tiro departments, but its projectors say that eventually it will serve as tho nucleus of a great metropolitan system that Is oxpected to become a healthy rival to tho Chicago Telephone company and tlio now Illinois Telephone and Telegraph com pany. Rates sufficiently low to make tha telephone a cheap convenience aro pro dieted by thoso who seo a grent future In tho municipal plant." A recent dispatch from London says "Tho London streets.nro being torn up by the laying of tho wires of tho new tele phono system to bo run by the govern ment.

Amsterdam hounht out tho private company somo four years ngo and hns sinco managed the service to the satisfaction of the subscribers. City 1'rliiiliisv l'lnntx. Under Mayor Qulncy's administration a municipal printing plant was established In Boston. A report which wns rendered ln July, 1S99, showed a saving of $10,3SC03 for a year's operation, although theso llgures havo since been disputed. Tlio present Greater New York Charter commission is in favor of establishing a plant similar to lho United States government printing cf llco nt Washington. Tlio present comp troller of New York is heartily In favor cf ench action. In n recent Interview ho said: "Tho city's printing Is enormous and thero is no renson why It cannot bo dono Just as well by tho city as tho work of tho federal government Is dono by tlio govern ment printing olllcn, A member of con gress can Introduce a bill tonight and to morrow morning printed copies of that till nro on tho lllcs of tho members.

Its minutes havo to bo printed, as do tho minutes of other depart mcnts. This costs a great deal of money Tho contractors havo to pay tho men tin ployed on city work tlio samo amount of wages as if thoso men wero employed di rectly by tho city and theso mon can work no moro hours for tho contractors than they could for tho city. What I want to seo Is tho power conferred upon tho city to start such a plant. After that Is done .wo can figure out how it is to bo operated. It Iiuh been suggested that men employed n a city ofllco would not render as much and as good servlco as it thty wero work lng for any privato concern. I do not be llcvo that that amounts to much. Men must be tnught that when they nro work lng for tho city they must render as rill clcnt and honest servlco as if they wero employed by a privato person or firm." Other Municipal Novelties. Syracuse, N.

A municipal theater has often been advo cated In this country. Now ono has ac tually been built In tho city of Calumet, Mich. It was erected as a wing to tho now city hall. It wilt be conducted by a manager In tho city's employ nnd all profits will accruo to tho city, which Is also prepared to bear tho losses, if any. Franklin, 1ml., has also assumed control of Us theater and hns appointed a manager to conduct It. Municipal pawnshops are coming into voguo. Chicago has one, which is doing nn Increasingly largo business, and its suc cess has been such as to encourage other cities to follow ln Chicago's footsteps. As special legislative authority Is necessary, tho movement Is likely to bo slow of growth.
