What is everybody's business
is nobody's business This prin
ciple usually comes in for a part
in the management of municipal
corporations.
- A man will give more time ,
attention and thought to a busi
ness in which his money is in
vested than he will when he is
employed to supervise it for the
public.
Considering- condition of
the city's finances today and its
experience with the waterworks ,
municipal ownership of an elec
tric light system does not com
mend itself to our business judg
ment.
The rates given the city on arc
lights under the proposed fran
chise will enable the
M company
H which gels the franchise to make
i
I'r. but a very small profit. The
r.f
f rates are very low and the fran
H f chise requires that the service
* diall be the very best obtainable.

W. A. Tooley
The principle reason why pub
lic ulililies under municipal man-
agcmcnl are not as efficient .is
under privale ownership is found
in the difference in the care and
interest which a manager takes in
his own business as compared
with the interest he takes when
working1 on something1 in which
he is not financially interested.
