Synopsis

Explore how public service companies are run and financed, and what makes them work efficiently. This concise work breaks down the principles behind municipal ownership and private operation of essential services. It presents commercial engineering ideas in plain terms, helping readers grasp both structure and performance without heavy theory.

This edition surveys topics from ownership to operation, including earnings, taxes, and strategies that cities use to manage street railways, gas, water, and electric services. It aims to show how properly installed systems can operate cheaply and deliver reliable service to the public, while also noting the broader debates around public ownership and private investment.

• How street railways are organized, operated, and financed.


• The economics of power, gas, water, and electric lighting in urban utilities.


• Benefits of consolidation, transfers, and the effect on fares and service.


• Practical issues like electrolytic action and maintenance that affect reliability.

Ideal for readers interested in public utilities, urban infrastructure, and how cities balance investment, service quality, and citizen interests in the 20th century.
