HOW CITY WILL GAIN RAILWAYS Western Metropolis' Jfew Mayor Says Power of Condemnation Will Be Used?Street Lines to Be Appraised, and Amount Fixed Will Be Deposited With City Treasurer, and Owners Can Take or Leave It. Judge Edward F. Dunne, elected mayor of Chicago on the municipal ownership ticket, who recently went to New York city to tell New Yorkers something of the plan of which he has been a champion for years, expressed the belief to a New York Times report- ~ er that municipal ownership of Chicago , street railways will come within two years of his term, although he admits that this Is a short time in which to bring about so sweeping a change. Judge Dunne tells an interesting story of how be first became deeply Interested In municipal ownership. It happened some years ago while he was traveling In Switzerland. While In Interlaken be stepped into a telegraph office to send a message to Lucerne and when he came to pay for Lt was told that the price was about 7 cents. He thought a mistake had been made and told the operator that such a message would hare cost 40 or 50 cents in the United States. _ "But, you see, here the government = operates the telegraph system," said the operator, "and the rate Is much cheaper." This. Judge Dunne said, set him to thinking, and wherever he went he found that the case was similar where public service utilities were concerned. From that time he became the champion of municipal ownership. "We have in Chicrgo," he said, "the worst street railroad system in the country. We mean to take hold of this, re-equip It and run It In the interests of the people. We will accomplish tills without one cent of taxation on the community simply by the power of condemnation, which every railroad in the dty has exercised for years against the owners of private property. - You see, that law was supported by the street railway companies. Now we are going to give them a taste of their own medicine. We will show them that a law can work both ways, and they = surely cannot kick If we fairly apply to them the laws under which they have themselves acted so long. "If they kick, well and good. While the kick Is In progress the dty will have control of the roads, and the courts will in the meantime decide the cases. I estimate, and I may be a few millions out of the way, that we can acquire the street railway systems of Chicago for about $27,000^000. It will take $8CMXXMXO to $40^)00,000 more to modernize them.' The tangible values of the properties has been placed by experts at about $SOyOO<VOOO, and they are atpftattaed for about $120,000^000. Their stock exchange value Just before my election was about $80^000^000, and this was kept up by manipulation and wash salea. "Now, under the law we can take these roads by Issuing street car cer- i tificates, in reality income bonds, the _ interest being paid out of the receipts. = When the roads pass Into the hands Of too cny an me empfuyevs, jlcvmu duperintendent down to car cleaners, will come under civil service rales. We naturally will do just as Mr. Morgan would do If be got a road?get the best man possible to operate it When Yerkes built bis London rood be got an I expert from Glasgow to abow him all I about It and the lord provost of that I city has promised to send on his super- I intended, who has been running roads 1 under municipal ownership for ten yeare, to help me in my work. "It Is too early yet to think of reaching out for the gas, electric lighting or telegraph or telephone fmnchtfw, but the law will be amended in time so as to give us these rights. First we will tackle the street railways. If we are hindered we will fight in court and out of court The money value put on the roads by expects wfil be pafd Into the city treasurer's bands, and the roads I can take or leave It, just as the owner of private property could do when the roads moved in condemnation proceedings against him. "Mow, on this qoestioe at municipal J ownership let me give yon a few points, m Chicago we have been running our water plant fbr forty years, and we have the cheapest water in the . worH ' "Wepetd for the wfcoie plant out of 5 the earnings, diverted $40,000*000 from them to build a sewer aystarn In our city and have now fl,0CK\000 in the treasury that we don't know what to do with. Tten years ago we began to _ operate a municipal electric light plant ~ to supply the city. At that time we * * n<?k4a VAw para tizo a tur cuv u^w. *w?. we supply them fbr $54, and If we couM sell our power; which we have no right to do, we could supply them for much less. In Chicago under private ownership the cost of arc lights Is a cent per meter hour. In Peru, 111., fifty , miles away, under municipal owner- 1 ship, it Is just half that m "In the last six months my water bill 1 was $5.20. The boose has seventeen k rooms, and seventeen persons occupied E It The year before in a part of the an- 1 nexed district where a private com- 1 pany supplied the water, my bill for three months was $22.06. That's an object lesson worth remembering. '1 believe I can safely say that the people of Chicago believe in some radl- ^ cal change from present conditions, "as m witness the election returns. I mean to I give them what they want; municipal I ownership."
