Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of American Municipalities: What Is What in Our Cities, an Authentic Summary of Civic Progress and Achievements, Illustrated The League of American Municipalities came into existence in 1897. Its initial meeting was held in Columbus, Ohio, October 28th, 29th and 30th, 1897, and was attended by several hundred officials, among them being Mayors Quincy of Boston; Jones, of Toledo; Ashley, of New Bedford; Saltsman, of Erie; Johnson of Fargo; Pratt, of Minneapolis; Doran, of St. Paul; Gibson, of Zanesville; Laager, of Joliet; Medill, of Rock Island; McMurray, of Denver; Pierce, of Marshalltown; Farnsworth, of New Haven, and Todd, of Louisville. Among the aldermen in attendance were Guggenheimer, of New York City; Coots, of Detroit; Steier, of Cleveland; Collins, of Holyoke, Mass.; Lavery, of Poughkeepsie, and many others. The permanent officers named at the first meeting were as follows: President - John MacVicar, Mayor, Des Moines; Vice-President - C. A. Collier, Atlanta, Ga.; Secretary - B. F. Gilkison, New York; Treasurer - W. A. Black, Mayor, Atlanta, Ga. Trustees - John Warner, Mayor, Peoria; F. A. Walker, President Council, Trenton, N. J.; L. M. Rand, Councilman, Minneapolis, Minn.; C. M. Leitch, Acting Mayor, Wilmington, Del.; Geo. E. Green, Binghamton, N. Y. At that meeting the constitution of the League was adopted, of which the first section makes plain the object of the organization, reading as follows: "The object of this organization, which shall be known as the League of American Municipalities, shall be the general improvement and facilitation of every branch of municipal administration by the following means: First, the perpetuation of the organization as an agency for the co-operation of American cities in the practical study of all questions pertaining to municipal administration; second, the holding of annual conventions for the discussion of contemporaneous municipal affairs; third, the establishment and maintenance of a central bureau of information for the collection and compilation and dissemination of statistics, reports and all kinds of information relative to municipal government." The membership of the League is composed of three grades: First. Active members, include all those holding municipal offices, and representing cities. Second. Honorary members, include all those who have held municipal office and have been members of the League. Third. Associate members, include the editors of municipal journals, and individuals and firms engaged in making municipal necessities.

This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Council Government Versus Mayor Government We are first of all confronted with the argument from our own municipal experience. We are told that the American city council has proved itself in practice unfit to be trusted. Its powers have been taken away only because it has abused them. Whatever methods of election or of organization have been tried, it has been found impossible to secure good council men. The system of council rule worked well enough in the early days, with simple administrative problems and a compara tively high qualification for the electorate. But with the intro duction of universal suffrage, the influx of foreign immigrants, the intrusion of party politics and the growth of municipal functions, the system broke down completely. These state ments are usually made as if they were self-evident common places of history. Seldom is any detailed study brought to their support. But historical evidence must be handled with the greatest care in order to be conclusive. Failure rightly to analyze causes and effects and to take account of differences in conditions is apt to vitiate our reasoning. Not yet have we suflicient knowledge of municipal history or suflicient outlook into the future to justify dogmatic conclusions as to the relative success of council rule and mayor rule. A few considerations may be presented, however, which show how comparatively weak is this argument in favor of the mayor system from our experience in city government.

Download or read book National Municipal Review 1916 Vol 5 Classic Reprint written by Clinton Rogers Woodruff and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 750 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from National Municipal Review, 1916, Vol. 5 An outgrowth Of the widespread and popular commission government movement, the city manager idea represents all that is best in the com mission system with the addition Of a carefully chosen expert to look after the administration Of the city's affairs, instead Of three or five promiscuously chosen. Under it there is no longer any doubt as to who was responsible. There is no danger Of inefficiency hiding itself behind a long list Of elected Officers no one Of whom has sufficient authority or power to change conditions. If anything goes wrong in Dayton now, you know that the responsibility for it lies primarily at the door Of the city manager, and behind him at the door Of the council Of five. A characteristic Of the Older conception Of American city government was to place entirely too much dependence upon the law and the form Of government. Many still are for substituting statutes and constitutional provisions for the self-governing instinct. The newer conception involves the utilization Of the most effective forms Of government for the adequate expression Of a sound public Opinion; and the idea Of a city manager has proved a popular one because it embodies just this thought.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Relation of Modern Municipalities to Quasi-Public Works: Being a Report of the Committee on Public Finance to the Council of the American Economic Association II. The second part Of the report is in the form Of a letter from Dr. Knight, of the Ohio State Uni versity, relative to the question of water-works in the United States. Dr. Knight undertook the most difficult Of the special questions for investigation, and it will be Observed that his letter is a statement Of the difficulties he has encountered and a promise Of a complete report in the future. The Association may then regard this as a report of progress. It seemed best to make the letter public, because it shows the spirit in which the entire investigation has been carried on, and it impresses again the fact that the Association cannot expect to accomplish its purpose unless it has funds at its command.503] Letter Transmitting the Report.

Download or read book National Municipal Review Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by National Municipal League and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-17 with total page 818 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from National Municipal Review, Vol. 1 It is unnecessary, in addressing a body like the National Municipal League, to disclaim any thought that the commission form or any form of government is in itself a panacea for municipal ills. At the same time it must be conceded that the introduction of the commission form has been accompanied by very material improvement in municipal administration in those communities where the experiment is being tried. This improve ment has 'been most marked in the matter of finances, (which are sadly in need of attention in all American municipalities), and of certain public functions like the care and maintenance of the streets. There has also been a marked improvement in the supervision and management of muni cipnl utilities, whether run directly by the city or by private concerns. The explanation for this lies in the fact that the responsibility is concentrated upon Officials who have adequate authority to produce results, and who know that in the eye of the people they are responsible. Bureaus of municipal research speak with aptness and propriety of the necessity of a mayor's eye which shall be all-seeing and far - seeing, and which shall be directed to all phases of municipal administration. Highly important though the mayor's eye is, still more important has been the public eye, which has gained in strength and clarity with the growth of a sound educated public Opinion in municipal affairs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays in Municipal Administration Municipal government is so large and so complicated a subject that when one is asked to speak on the broad general topic, it is no easy matter to decide what aspect to discuss. There are the exciting and dramatic events of municipal politics in particular cities there are the difficult legal problems of municipal organization and the relation of cities to the state government; and there are a long series of special subjects connected with the everyday work of municipal officials. Instead of considering any of these subjects, how ever, I shall attempt here simply to emphasize the general importance of municipal government by a brief sketch of the development of cities and their functions, with some reference to the defects of American municipal management and means of improving the situation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Destiny of the American City A portion of this manuscript was written sev eral years ago, during a period of inflamed pub lic opinion and social unrest, fraught with many misgivings and uncertainties. The period in question, was one most prolific in various and numerous remedies offered for the purpose of stimulating the building indus try, each one a guaranteed specific for every economic ill. The object in offering it, at this time, is more for the purpose of giving some idea of the psychology of a period, filled with many economic problems, that had to be solved under conditions, new, varied and untried. The position taken at that time was far from being the most popular one, for the reason it offered very little encouragement for the builder to build, until some of the abuses with which the building industry was surrounded, were corrected.
