AMERICAN MAYORS
HEAR ARGUMENT FOR
PUBLIC OWNERSHIP
Delos F. Wilcox, Franchise
Expert, Tells Conference
Utilities Should be Operated-
by Municipalities.
TOLEDO DEMANDS
PUBLIC
SERVICE
Tho people of Toledo have been
uwakencd to the fact that public utili
ties corporations obtain their right to
exist from tho peoplo: that the cor
porations must servo tho people eco
nomically and Well, nnd that when
thny no longer servo tho best Interests
and operato only in tho Interests of a
few stockholders nnd high-salaried
officials. It becomes the right of citi
zens to operate the public utilities cor
porations themselves.
The people of Toledo will never ngaln
grant a franchise that docs not con
tain a clause giving them the right
to purchaso a public utility corporation
at Its physical value. They realize In
flated franchise values Increase tho
prlCe they must pay for the service
cotporatlcms supply. They will endure
this no longer.
The street car company In Toledo at
present Is operating without a fran
chise, because the company will not
give better service at a lower rate of
fare. The experiences of Toledo will
benefit the nation.
I wish Philadelphia success In her
efforts to obtain better transit facili
ties. Mayor of ToledoO.
Municipal ownership and operation of
public utilities was vigorously advocated
before the first Conference of American
Mayors this morning by Delos F, Wil
cox, a franchise expert, of New York
city,
"We can havo nof sympathy with the
attempts being made on every hand to
hinder, hamper and render abortive the
municipal ownership movement," he said.
"We cannot approve of the attitude ot
those who are willing to saddle the city
with an enormous over-capltallzatlon as
to its Initial handicap when It under
takes municipal ownership "
He asserted that public utility invest
ments, if retained under private control,
should bo placed on a non-speoulatlve
basis and that their Mcurity should ap
proximate that of municipal bonds, in
the establishment of the non-speoulative
character of tbw Investments, cjtlw
should not undertake to make good past
losses, he eoatended
"So far as future Investments In the
standard utilities are concerned " Mr
Wilson said, "th oilltw should auutni
the risks ot losa dua to unforeseen
uauses and should substantially guaran
tee the Integrity of all investments
made at the request or with the apr
proval of pubjla authority.

FOREST FIRES RAGE
IN CITY'S SUBURBS,
CAUSING BIG LOSS
West Philadelphia the Scene
of Two Fierce Blazes.
Dry Leaves Feed the
Flames.
Two forest fires In West Philadelphia
baffled six engine companies for several
hours this afternoon, destroyed many
hundred dollars' worth of fine timber and
threatened the heme ot Francois tiuplot,
a gardener.
Gardeners employed by Suplot on his
big nursery at 58th street and T-nn-caster
avenue, were put to work throwing
up mud embankments to prevent the
blaze from spreading to his greenhouses
and truck and flower beds. The ground
all through this section, which is heavily
wooded, Is covered with leaves, Because
of the lack of rain recently the leaves
are dry and highly Inflammable.
WEST PHUjADELPHIA FIHE.
All 4 o'clock this afternoon both fires In
West Philadelphia were still smoldering.
Only engine company No. 5 and com
pany No. 40 remained at their posts. Had
a big fire started elsewhere In the sec
tion the district would have had to de-.
pend on the centrally located statlohs for
protection.
The first fire was discovered at 70th
street and Haverford avenue. In and near
Cobbs Creek park. Several engine pom
panles responded and had difficulty get
ting up tbe steep Haverford avenue hllL
The firemen could find no water In this
section and had to fight tbe nre with
blankets, eoato and shovels. Farmers
from surrounding properties came to their
aid.
DRY LSAVBS FED FLAMES.
A ehort time later alarms were sent in
from the neighborhood of fieth street and
Lancaster avenue. This seatlon Is heavily
wooded between Lancaster. Woodbine,
60th and $th streets. The blaze spread
with startling rapWUy. Jed by the dried

Director A. Merrltt Taylor, of Philadel

lie informed the municipal, State and
corporation officials, tho theorists from
universities and the practical financiers
that I'hlladelphlana stand for a square
deal between the city nnd the vested In

Philadelphia has now reached the atage
when Its present outgrown transit ays
tern will be amplified either by co-operation
of existing companies, by Investment
or innepenaent capital or even by expen
diture of municipal funds in a publicly

"We want Philadelphia to stand out as a
safe place for the Investment of capital
for public service," he said.
MUTUAL CONFIDENCE.
"We recognize the great part which the
railroads and other public service cor
porations can take In the development of
this city and Its Industries, but so to take
this part they must have credit upon
which to raise large sums of money and
they must be assured of an adequate and
attractive return thereon and Immunity J
from unwarranted competition or political
and public attacks.
"The capitalists of this country nre go

not going to Invest capital in communities
where Its security Is Impaired and its
productiveness Is unduly curtailed by un

Forget the Thelma and bend all of

true, but It took 5101.000 to stock out tha
Thelma, nnd since Mr. Wanamaker haa

see that it the Thanksgiving ship is to
sail as quickly as humanity demands that
she should sail, then the citizens qf Phila

they can afford.
