It. would be charmingly easy of solution. . --ButJet us-pause long ettough to discover been one and the same thing in the history of cities. Toronto has a street railway system which is operated by a private corporation. That company is beyond doubt the best hated institution in the big city. But it was not always thus. The Toronto Rail- way Company was at one time well thought of by the citizens. . That was for the first brief period after the citizens had given their. streets away under an agreement which all believed amply safeguarded the interests of the city. That agreement, as far as being prepared to protect adequately the city s future was concerned, was born amid rarely favorable circumstances. The Hon. 8. H. Blake, K.) C., a barrister of national repute, represent- ed the.city in the negotiations. Before it was accepted the agreement was subjected to the consideration of the scores of thous- ands who then made up Toronto s popula- tion. When, according to general belief, to shape with infinite care, when it had been burnished and polished until no rough- ness could be found, it was accepted. How has this agreement, designed amply to safeguard Toronto s interests, operated? To the watching: hosts: the ludicrous spect- acle has been presented of a great city be- seeching the courts of justice clear up to the Privy Council for-an order compelling the railway company to extend its lines to serve some fifty thousand or seventy-five thousand people living in outlying parts of the municipality, and beseeching in wain With this agreement, which was believed by the citizens generally to safeguard the city s interests and which the leading Can- jadian lawyer of the day assured the people would protect them in their needs, the city has foregone its dignity and pride and gone to the corporation and begged it to do out of generosity what the law. could not.com- pel it todo. Failing in that mission; it has levelled threats at the company, fort to have imperative needs sat all has been without ayail. twenty-two years of struggle, MEDICINE HAT DAILY whether belief and reality haye always . : Missouri, 43 years old today. larded If it were only pos finger on a clause and sa. as strong as a band of steel; the people interests are as safe under this as 2 N00 820 imp, Lia Varnetee te eatreat, the Soldierin the heart of Gibralter, then 20.05 20.0 Toronto Exp., Vancouver to Toronta, tlie citizens might safely. trust. themselves uu 4.15 440 Seattle-St, Paul Exp, Seattle to stP./and their future to a hastily-prepared 516 23.00 Local from Calgary, eement. But such assurance is not hu- Westbound. nly possible. For twenty years Toronto shouted that fact to the very sky. Human foresight cannot pierce so far in- to the future as to discover what in any pact is a safeguard and what is a pitfall. The only way in which the city can guard against evil conditions in its transportation em.is by keeping the system solely un- der its own control. en aoe IMPROVE EASTERN PLAN. RECENTLY the city of St. Thomas sold a piece of land on which a free civic skating rik had been maintained last win- ter. It was almost immediately pointed out to the Council that another site should be secured without delay as a substitute for the one disposed of. It was felt that there should be no interference with the rink system. Now the free rinks in St. Thomas are operated only for the use of the chil- dren. Tt is not intended that the money expended on them shall be laid out for the benefit of the grown-ups. Toronto has a similar system. At various points in the city open-air rinks are main- tained for the youngsters. Usually these are made on the grounds which, in summer, serve as municipal playgrounds. These plans are to be commended. They are admirable as far as they go, but they do not go far enough for Medicine Hat. We advocate free civic rinks for both old jand young. If we wish to spend funds on skating places, why should not every citizen have the privilege of frequenting them? Healthful outdoor-exercise is of sound ad- vantage to children, but is is no less so to older people. It is to be hoped that this city will assume an attitude toward this question even more advanced than that of Toronto and St. Thomas. The small sum invested in muni- the most popular-and also one of the most beneficial investments made by the city. oa eee present the city owns all its main-in- dustrial spur tracks. If these are con- neeted up with a municipal street. railway system, there should'be some work for an electric motor. The city might even lec- trify Ald. Ansley s spur out tc his mines. 3 THERE was a time when the natural gas franchise didn t look any more valu- able to some of the citizens than the rail- way franchise does at the present moment, yet what a terrible catastrophe it would have been had we let it slip away from us. ee gt ee THIS DATE IN HISTORY.
