Discussion on “municipal cooperation in public utility management” (Kealy), St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 19, 1915. (see proceedings for October, 1915)

Charles A. Hobein: I think probably the chief cooperation of the municipalities in public utility management has been in the operation of electric railways. Particularly, the cities seem to have taken more of a part in the detail work of the railways rather than in the electric light or gas business. Of course, I am not speaking of the water systems which are largely municipally owned.
