RESIDENTS living on the north side of the river will he pleased to learn that every effort is being made to provide them with city water as soon as possible. It must be remembered that it is quite an unhder- taking to throw a pipe line across a river which is a quarter of a mile wi le, but ay solution of the problem is now presented by City Engineer Grimmer. The scheme not only provides for the pipe line, but will at the same time increase the acconimoda- tion for traffic on the Finlay bridge. It is prop sed to construct a seven foot passage- way far pedestrians on the east wer side of the bridge and to swing i Pipe on the brackets beneath it: I tion of the present bridge which is utilized by foot passengers is four feet six inches wide and although considered ample for the traffic at the time of construction is now uneomfortably crowded at times, hence the decision of the Council to increase the ac- eommodation.

UNDER the above heading the Saskatoon Phoenix refers as follows to the ques- tion of Medicine Hat s street railway fran- tchise: i Medicine Hat, which successfully oper- ates its natural gas, electric and water works plant, is undecided whether to con- tinue the municipal ownership of public utilities or to break with the principle and hand over a street railway franchise to private enterprise. It is almost amazing that aay city shoul seriously entertain the granting of a monopoly in a public service to private concerns after testing the value of public ownership for itself, and in the face of the almost tnanimous adoption of the principle of municipal ownership and operation of public utilities by other cities. The advocatesof a privately owned street railway system are endeavoring: to seduce the citizens from the municipal idea by playing upon the arrangement which is in force in some cities, whereby a; certain proportion of the reccipts of privately own- ed street lines, acerue. to the city. The ob- yious answer to this argument is that if a private concern can afford to hand over to the city a certain percentage of its receipts and still make profits that make the enter- prise worth while, the fact should enly be an added inducement for the municipality to own and operate its own system and thus sectire all the advantages for the city as a whole. Private capital is not invested in any enterprise which does not promise lividends equal to current rates of-interest ind profit, and when in return for the evant of reet railway monopoly private neer to pay municipalities de- heir receipts it is per- uch percentages are based venue which will af- idends after the city, has st agr finite p Teentages of t clear that foetl, upon an esti ford adequate d received its Phe modern tende ration is toward the en private enterprise in matters op ublie ser- vice which intolve monopoly, a do not monopolies in their create private water supply and lighting, ahd it is strange tation in extend- that there should be Vesi i Yailways.

The citizens of Medicine Hat will be ill- advised if they prefer private to municipal ownership and operation of theix' street tailway. Tie profits which accrue from public utilities should be utilised in the public service and should not 0 either Wholly or in part into private coffers, and every citizen needs to remember that the profits of a municipally operated concern are profits to him which are ultimately. in- vested for his benefit. : peat, THE Council Rroposes to advertise th city by the erection of a great illumin- ated sign and the News had an opportunity yesterday of looking over a design which Seems esprecially suitable for the purpose. The sign is 25 by 60 feet in size and the motto Medicine Hat The Manufacturing Centre eS of Western Canada stands forth in letters of from two to six feet in height. The display is started by. two electric rockets which start simultane- ously. from the lower corners.of the sign and, describing a-parabola cross one another at the top, and burst into c lored: lights. Then the different lines of the advertisc- ment blaze forth one after the other, after Which all lights disappear for an instant only to Tash out again as a whole. The repetition of this performance constitutes the advertisement and it is safe to say that no train passenger will pass through Med- icine Hat without seeing it. - The cost will be in the neighborhood of 3,500 and the expense of maintenance is not at all heavy. It certainly would bea great advertisement for our cheap power, although not quite as good a one as if we could point to a muni- cipally owned street railway as a demon- stration.
