BC Historical Newspapers
The Ladysmith Daily Ledger was published in Ladysmith, in the Cowichan Valley region of Vancouver Island, and ran from July 1903 to December 1906. Ladysmith developed as a residential area for the employees of a large coal mine, and, in 1904, it had a population of approximately 4000. The Ledger was published by the Ladysmith Publishing Company, which also issued the paper under two variant titles: the Daily Ledger (April to July, 1905) and the Ladysmith Ledger (September to December, 1906).

Mayor Dunne does not agree with Professoi- Dmiv on thc conclusions to l*e drawn from Europe.- Ho finds that municipal ownership in Great Britain has saved money for taxpayers, given hotter service and made easier conditions for the employes. He also argues, from what he .deems success in Chicago's ownership of electric light and water, that success in traction ownership is not iinpossiihlc, and he is urging thc building of municipal lines upon those streets of which the c.ty already has control. Chicago's traction service, under private control, has heen as had as this evil world affords, and every liberal or haif-iihcra' intelligence must wish, with much or little hope. for. the successful outcome task in the intricacies of which GEO.
