Municipal trading argued as public good against private profit
The piece defends municipal trading for public benefit while opposing private company control. It cites Britain’s experience with loans, sinking funds, and eventual municipal ownership of electric light, gas, water works, tramways, and markets. It warns private firms seek dividends and higher profits, unlike municipalities that reinvest for public welfare. It cites London, Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester, and Covent Garden as contrasts.
