Glasgow Corporation Tramways, which continue to refute the anti-rail pessimists, have coined or otherwise? assumed a refreshing phrase. A portion of their surplus profits is paid annually “to the Common Good.” At the beginning of the “Great Peace” in 11)11) these payments fizzled out for three years, but in the year ending last May some £1 fid,()()() was accounted “to the good.” This is the third highest share out since the start in 1895, the record being held by the last war year—£l77,ooo. Among the most curious items of expense in the current report are:—Feu duties and Teinds, £113*2; luncheons dept., £1320; water, over a million gallons. Apparently they are not all Scots who use the cars, for 28,000 articles lost their owners during the year.
