I City News i : IMPORTANT TOPIC AT MEN'S CLUB At Monthly Meeting Prominent Albany Man Discusses Mun icipal Ownership. CENTRAL IDEA IS PROPER MANAGEMENT Too Much Politics in Many City Councils For Highest Degree of Efficiency. The meeting of the Men's club at the M. K. church last night, was of special interest. About a hundred men were present, and they not only enjoyed the fine banquet served; but alu the instructive and entertaining paper of Jos. II. Ralston. The sub ject was municipal ownership. Mr. Ralston showed a careful sildy of the subject. He considered it from a neutral standpoint. He said munici pal ownership of light and (water plants might be made a success if ef ficient management was secured, much depending upon having man agement as capable as the manage ment of private concerns; but the trouble often is that so much poli tics arc run into the management as to affect the efficiency and success of it. A city council is sometimes very much of a political body, a fact that often plays a large part in such; thing.. In figuring on the success ofi municipal plants, the speaker said. I account is not generally taken of tax-i es. and olten there is no provision for a retirement of a twentieth part of the bonds annually. Fully ana lyzed management is a great thing to be considered These meetings are proving quite popular affairs, offering a fine op portunity for free parliament and good fellowship. Mrs. B. P. Lovelt. of Madras. Or., arrived this morning to visit Mrs. A. I'. Catherwood. of Mill City, and both left for that place this morning. Clifford Harold came over from Lebanon on the morning train. W.
