London Standard (Newspaper) - February 11, 1913, London, Middlesex A pm a to Quot a a a Ltd ctr v Quot flt Fez Quot 13the Standard tuesday february 11, 1913. The fight for London. Progressive party a finance. Rakes reformers heritage of debt. If Ever there was a Case of a rakes Progress it seems to Zae without respect to party it is the position of the London county Council at the present moment. The commitments of the Council Are appalling. Those words were spoken at a meeting of the county Council on july. 6, 1905, by sir a. M. Torrance an sex chairman of the Council on the progressive Side. His severe condemnation is diced against the financial methods of the socialist party. At the time sir a. M. Torrance spoke of Wii at is known As a a a remunerative a capital that is to say Money spent yearly on a remunerative works which becomes an addition to the debt and a i it Ermany it charge on the rates had increased from �749,000 in 1895 to �2,496,000 in 1905. The total capital expenditure of the London county Council during the last year of a Gressie socialist Rule was �4,722,256. The municipal reformers have gradually but constantly reduced this expenditure until last year it stood at Only �1,714,000, now let us look at the debt. The following figures will show How it grew under the progressive socialists and How the rate of increase was checked under the municipal reformers at mar 31, total debt. Total assets. Net debt. A a a 189737.301,000 18,195,000 19,106,000 �?�190778,801,000 30,487,000 48.314,000 191285,123,000 33,313,000 51,809,000 a last year of progressive socialist administration. It will be seen that in ten years the net debt of the London county Council under progressive administration was increased by �29,208,000, whilst six years of municipal form administration Only resulted in an increase of �3,495,000, and that incr a was entirely due to the heavy Load of commitments inherited from the progressive socialists. If the a remunerative debt be separated from the Revenue producing debt the work of the municipal reformers appears in a still better Light. Thus they were left with an a remunerative debt the whole charge for which Falls on the rates of �39,799,000, and commitments to the amount of 9i millions. They have actually reduced the amount of the a remunerative debt to �39,430,000, and they have brought Down the commitments to under five millions. Therefore the whole of the increase in the debt that has occurred under municipal Reform administration is in regard to Revenue producing outlay chiefly Tramway construction. This debt pays its own Way As it were and provides its own sinking fund it is not a Burden on the rates. The amount of increase under this head during six years of municipal Reform Rule is �3,865,000. And for that sum London has been equipped with 74 additional Miles of electric tramways. Damage to London a credit. The reckless manner in which the progressive socialists spent Money meant that they were always in the Market to raise a loan. The a Way in which the rate of borrowing leapt up under the progressive socialists May be judged from the following figures a in the four year period 1890-1893 the amount of county Council Stock placed upon the Market was �2,200,000. In the four year period 1902-1905 the amount had jumped up to �17,000,000�?eight times is much. The Market was glutted with the councils a Aper investors began to take alarm at the Ivay in which the councils financial affairs were managed to late a Businesslike nature of the Council s methods its refusal to Institute proper financial control or to have its accounts audited in the right Way were matters of Public knowledge and discussion and the credit of London dropped rapidly and far. In 1897 the Council could borrow at per cent. Ten years later the progressive socialists did not dare even to go into the Market to ask for a loan and were reduced to the costly expedient of raising Money on Bills and paying As much As 6 per cent for it. Incidentally it May be said that this floating debt ran into the Nice Little sum of some five millions Sterling and was one of the legacies of indebtedness inherited by the municipal reformers when they took office. At that time London county Council Stock stood at a lower Price than that of the chief provincial towns a disgraceful state of things humiliating to londoners and due entirely to the inefficient management of London a affairs by the progressive socialist party. Lord Welby a respectable Radical peer who was the progressive Chancellor of the exchequer on the county Council was moved to make More than one protest against the irresponsible extravagance of his party. A progressive protest. A it was not advisable a he urged a that time after time it should be told to the world that the Council set its face against prudence and again on november 17, 1903 a a a the growing demands on the Council Are so great that i must say that the Council is outstripping the Bounds of two years later at a Council meeting. Lord Welby said a a before the Council commits itself to any further Largo expenditure i implore the members to pause and consider that they Are the guardians of the Public purse and to Realise the that guardianship poor lord Welby he was sorely tried on december 12, 1905,he was driven to revolt a a i have no alternative a he said a a but to oppose my own party on the Council. I am jealous of the credit of the Council and my jealousy leads me to one opinion that at the present time the Council is in danger of Over straining its a very mild Way of describing the situation As i have shown. Now let me quote from a journal that entertains the very strongest Radical and progressive sympathies the a a British it said on november 8, 1906 a the fatal but Der of the progressives last week was that they depreciated Economy. They said a Economy is a Fine thing a very Fine thing indeed but there Are other things More important Economy is secondary a that is a strange doctrine for liberals to the electors should Mark these words they Tell them How they stand if they return the progressive socialists to Power on March 6 next Economy in municipal administration will be Given secondary consideration Only. Reduction of debt. The use of the word Economy reminds me that i have said nothing about the reduction of debt. During the last three years of progressive socialist administration the total sum devoted to the cancellation of debt was �700,000, or a yearly average of �233,333. During the five Complete years of municipal Reform administration which ended March >31, 1912, debt to the amount of �3,749,959 was extinguished the yearly average being ��749,992, three times As great As that of the to Gres Sives. I come now to the Rise of 2jd. In the education rate that has taken place under them Mic pal reformers a fact that is being made the most of by the progressive socialists. First let me give the progressive record in the last four years of their administration the progressive socialists put up the education rate from 15.180d. To 19d. A Rise of nearly 4d. In four years. The municipal reformers Are responsible for an increase of 2id. In six years. This increase represents a total increase in expenditure of �420,000 per annul and prac fic a the whole of that am Dent is accounted for by the additions that have been made to teachers sales under a scheme passed by he a guess Ives in 1905. To xes additions Tost �429,000 a year. It most not be supposed for one moment Bat the mid dip Reform party Are not in paly wow fable to that in Craane of to aches salaries but they do object to be attacked As extravagant on the score of it. The educational policy of the municipal Reform party will be dealt with in a general article but i May give Here the chief Heads of increased expenditure under the education estimates a salaries of teachers.�429�000 meal for Necess Itous children. 94,000 medical inspection and treatment d5,000 superannuation. 74,000 total .�652,000 Lewisham confident municipal Reform party. At Lewisham in View of the London county Council contest there is a spirit of wholesome optimism prevailing in the Misc pal Reform Camp. The leaders have been taught by experience not to take anything for granted but whilst recognising the duty of making the Best use of the party machinery there is the Confidence of Success amongst them that usually characterises victorious forces. The Hon. Secretary of the local conservative association or. Thomas i Edmondston who is one of the most efficient political agents in South London thus puts the situation a a the record of Lewisham in London county Council elections has not been so invariably consistent As it has been in parliamentary contests. Sometimes by sheer apathy once by local dissension one of the seats and on a single occasion both have been surrendered to the enemy but such occurrences will not easily take place again. When the Public conscience is fully aroused and the irresistible Power of the conservative organisation is fairly in the Field our opponents know by this time that their most furious efforts Are futile. Their fighting then is due to a sheer cuss Edness a rather than to any Hope of securing the Mildest kind of a moral Victory a that Ever cheered a discredited criticising the progressives As a a Stern and relentless critics of All municipal expenditure other than their own a or. Edmondston complained that a a they do not hesitate to throw an expense of hundreds of pounds on the rates with no object save to gratify their own Small vanity and with no result beyond demonstrating anew How completely they have forfeited the Confidence of the the candidates adopted by the local conservative and unionist association to contest the county Council division Are or. F. H. Carter one of the sitting members and commander Carlyon Bellairs who takes the place of Earl Stanhope the other sitting member who does not offer himself for re election. Against these gentlemen the progressive socialists Are running or. J. S. Lewis of Streatham and or. C. Garfitt of Greenwich. The Streatham importation has shown a Lively appreciation of the Odds against having referred at the adoption meeting to a a the awful majority of 4000 they had to one of his main bids for popularity is the expression of opinion that the motor omnibuses should share with the London county Council tramways the Cost of the Upkeep of the roads. And the gentleman from Greenwich favours the restoration of the thames steamboats and the works depart Meni. The running of motor omnibuses by the London comity Council and the obtaining of allotments for the working men of Lewisham. The municipal Reform candidates will have Strong things to say about some of the proposals of their opponents whilst on their own behalf they will Lay stress on the necessity for economic administration. Or. Carter fears an Advance in London rates in the near future and warns the electors against placing spending Power in the hands of the progressives at such a time whilst commander Bellairs reminds the people that w Ith radicals in Power they May not be Content with voting members of parliament �400 a year but May also want to pay salaries to the members of the London county Council. He Points out that the Low credit the county of London experienced under the progressives was shown in the fact that whilst they had at one time to borrow at 6 per cent., the mimic pal reformers can borrow at 3j per cent., making a saving of �25,000 a year in borrowing a million. He Hopes that such extravagances As the progressive works department will never again be revived and he claims for the two parties that a a by their fruits be shall judge this is the second largest county Council constituency in the Metropolis the Register containing 32,579 names whilst the next largest Fulham is a Long Way behind the 1912 Register showing a total of Only 22,289 voters. Unionism in Imperial politics and municipal Rei Onn in county and Borough Council politics Are in the ascendant. A a there is not a single Radical or progressive in the whole of our Public life a said or. Edmond stoic yesterday a a and we do not mean to have one. One crept in in 1911, but we dismissed last november and he owed his temporary Success simply to Over Confidence on the part of our people. It is the same in the Case of our parliamentary and county Council elections and the elections for boards of in Lewisham As in the adjoining constituencies the progressives cry is that their opponents arc desirous of a a scrapping the tramways a but this is manifestly mendacious. The answer is simply that since the municipal reformers assumed Power the mileage of the electric tramways has increased from 58i Miles to 132 Miles the number of workmen scars has been doubled the passengers carried have increased by two millions Halfpenny fares have been started everywhere and a More efficient service has been Given to the Public.

Every individual in London owes �25. Some of course owe More but the extra debt is their own personal liability the �25 is what each of us owes As his share of the total debt contracted on our behalf by our local authorities. This interesting fact is to be found in the annual report of the London county Council issued yesterday for 1911. The expenditure of the London county Council during the year was �13,953,555, As against �14,132,731 for the year before. A Penny rate Over the whole of London produced �186,900 the year before a Penny yielded �185j80. In 1890 a Penny Only brought in �131,617. So that the increase in the last 22 years is about 41 per cent. This year of course owing to the budget legislation there is a alight decrease in the yield of a Penny rate. During the year the capital expenditure of the Council was �1,714,997 of which �630,000 was for Revenue producing undertakings. For the preceding year the capital expenditure was �2,185,990. Since its Constitution in 1889 the London county Council has dealt with a total capital expenditure of �48.758,801. The aggregate capital expenditure by the London county Council the school Board and the old metropolitan Board of works 1856 amounts to �91,658,000. The net debt of the London county Council at the end of the year under review was �51,832,000 whilst the debt of London which includes the debt of All the authorities was �110,770,000. This is How it comes that each individual in London owes �25. This debt is equal to 250 per cent of the rateable value of London. Some of the debt of course is for Revenue services and really puts no Burden on the people but the charges on rate services mean that londoners have to pay �3,865,000 every year for interest and Rew ments which is equivalent to a rate of 1�. My in the Pound. Hence if London could get out of the hands of the moneylenders the rates would instantly go Down by is. Sad.

Livingstone instructed by messes. Boyce and Evans appeared for Che plaintiff and or. Compston ., or. Mccardie and or. St. J. Field instructed by messes. Langton and Passmore for the defendant. Or. Latter opening the Case said that the plaintiff was a French lady who had established a great reputation As an operatic Singer on the continent. In june 1911, the defendant was desirous of engaging a company for the London opera House and he went to Paris to hear the plaintiff sing. Eventually a contract waa entered into by which the plaintiff agreed to sing at the London opera House for five months from november 13. 1911. At a salary of 5500fr. £220 a month. The plaintiff undertook to sing in French and italian and to perform on sundays if required to do so. There was a clause in the contract to the effect that if the opera House was closed through Public calamity fire insufficiency of receipts Etc., the plaintiffs salary would not be paid until the performances were resumed. The plaintiff performed at the London opera House from november 13, 1911, to the end of february when she saw in the lobby reserved to the artists a notice that the defendant proposed to close the opera House As he wanted to prepare for the summer season. The Plain Tiff had an interview with the defendant who asked her if she would cancel her contract if he paid her �100. Or whether she would consent to return to the opera House in april and conclude her engagement. The plaintiff declined to accept the a Loo or to return in april. When she got Home the plaintiff received a letter from the defendant stating that his reason for closing the opera House was that the receipts were insufficient to meet the expenses. During the six weeks the opera House waa closed for a performances. Rehearsals took place. There was a clause in the agreement that if one of the parties annulled the contract compensation to the total amount of the salary for the year should be paid. That meant according to the custom of the profession that the plaintiff was entitled to her salary for five months in addition to the amount she had been paid. The questions for the jury were whether the receipts were insufficient to meet the expenses and whether the opera House was closed for that reason. Mme. An Riveau was called and gave evidence through an interpreter in support of Tho opening statement of counsel. In Cross examination the witness said that some of the French artists returned to the opera House when it was reopened in april. She could not say if 300 persons were engaged in the production of the operas. She had heard that actions had been brought against the defendant by other artists but she did not know whether they had been withdrawn. This closed the Case for the plaintiff. Or. Compston. For the defendant submitted that his client had Power to annul the contract if the receipts were not sufi Focient to meet the expenses. When the defendant discovered that his losses amounted to �19.000 he acted As a sensible business Man and closed the opera House. He knew nothing of the offer of the defendant to pay the plaintiff �100 if she Woula consent to rescind her contract. Unfortunately the defendant was unwell in new York and he could not be present. Great financial failure. Or. R. Butt general manager for the defendant. Stated that the season at the London opera House commenced on november 13 and ran until March 2. Or. waa the result of the season a it was a great financial failure. Were the takings at the opera House in any Way sufficient to pay the outgoings a no. The loss waa Over �10 x a week and the defendant decided to close the place at the end of february.

Hammerstein could not speak French. Or. he say a a 1 will offer you 2500 francs a he might get As far As that but then he would fall laughter.

He to bought they were enticed to charge �151,<mk for buildings and Over �70,i 00 for productions. On a Ali Patricai speculation he thought that 15 i or cent interest ought to be paid on capital. Or. Justice you say that under the contract if you do not make 15 per menu you Are entitled to Stop a that is my opinion. The witness continuing alluded to an English opera which was arranged to be produced at the opera House and said that the production was paid for by the gentleman lord Howard de Walden who wrote it. He believed that �s0< it it was paid for production �8000 was guaranteed and a further �8000 was advanced of a second mortgage. Or. d.

Barton Mcguckin the Well known Tenor stated that he was engaged by the defendant to perform at the London opera House. He remembered the notice which was posted at the Oigt Era House. It did not state that the reason for closing the place was that th4 defendant wished to prepare for the summer season. Or.

For the prosecution it Mas urged that the element of Chance predominated in the game and it therefore came within the act. The Max who made whist. Or. E. E. Wilde Defending said that they would find in Law books to which his Friend or. Bodkin went when he wanted to play cards laughter that from the time of Henry Viii. There had been statute after statute passed under Beneficent Monarch such As Henry Viii., Charles ii. George ii., and Ueen Anne anxious for the welfare of their people laughter to discourage gaming and the playing of certain kinds of cards. In none of those statutes Aud in no single Case decided under them had anyone up to last year ventured to say that whist was an illegal game in any shape or form. Or. Wild went on to Deal with the history of whist from its origin in Tho beginning of Tho sixteenth Century when it known As a a he thought it was common knowledge that the Man who really made whist was the great Hoyle. In 1742 he wrote that great treatise of whist which codified the Laws of the game and made or helped to make the game what it became so much so that they found even the peerage playing whist and a satirist of that time wrote a a to i whist he makes a science and our Peers deign to turn schoolboys in their Riper under these circumstances the game was taken up by the Arlington and Portland clubs who defined the rules and it became the science that it had been and still was.

He contended that the game was not illegal and that it was a game of skill not Chance. The defendant said that he was a Turner employed at the Woolwich Arsenal and had played whist for 20 years. He considered it absolutely a game of skill. The profits he made from the drives were Small being exactly �58 in 14 months.

Tames Henry Underwood an examiner of forgings in the Royal Arsenal who lives at Plumstead said that he had played whist for 2.3 years. He considered it emphatically a game of skill. Much had been made of the fact that the Deal controlled the game. His experience went to show that the Deal and succession of deals introduced variety to the game and the subsequent variety of cards afforded Many problems in conjunction with ones partners hands which Only highly skilled players could solve. The witness added that he played with his wife As partner at the defendants drives and from january. 1912, to january 1913, they won 26 prizes playing together. His wife had won three and he one playing separately. What happened to or. Pickwick.

Or. had to go Home and have something hot and then go to bed laughter. Mrs. Edith Pine a member of the Woolwich Board of guardians spoke As to the respectable character of the whist drives and the opportunities they provided for social entertainment. The recorder pointed out that in this Case there was an element present which was entirely absent from the Case at Salford which was dealt with in 1911, that was to say. There were partners and the question was whether the introduction of partners did not convert it into a game in which skill predominated Over Chance. There must always he Chance in eve game of cards it was Imi it possible to be otherwise. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty and the defendant was discharged. Evidence of two cheques.
