Book excerpt: Excerpt from Commission Government With a City Manager In December, 1910, the board of trade at Lockport, N. Y., grew weary of the way municipal affairs in that town were being run under the familiar mayor-and council plan of organization. Like hundreds of other such bodies, they turned almost instinctively to com mission government. But there was no Optional law on the statute books at that time which they could adopt by the simple expedient of filing a petition with the city clerk and holding a special election.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cyclopedia of American Government, Vol. 1: Abattoirs-Finality In addition to political theory, thus practically treated, the volumes c'ontain dis eussions of the principles: of international law, constitutional law, party organization and action, and they present in brief form the most significant and fundamental principles of economic theory. The work is intended to be practical, to describe with concreteness and directness what government actually is and does; but the editors believe that wherever possible, and it generally is possible, an article should be approached from the side of principle, and not written as if an institution or a form of government were an absolute and detached abstract fact. As a basis for an understanding of existing government, and because the term government, as here used, includes the actual operation of political machinery, considerable space is given to constitutional, political, and party history. The principles of international law are supported by numerous articles on the history of American international relations.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Emancipation of the American City Since James Bryce recorded it as his opinion a generation ago, that the government Of cit ies is the one conspicuous failure of the United States, a veritable revolution has been under way in American municipal government. It is not yet completed, but it has been so wide spread in its influence and results as to make it clear that what was unhappily true when Mr. Bryce wrote, cannot in truth be said today.

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.

The intent is simply to bring the essential points to the at tention of citizens, that they may have a full com prehension of the nature and tendencies of the system which they are asked to substitute for the system established by the founders of the Republic. Incompleteness must of necessity characterize such a work as this covering a movement in pro gross and changing in aspects, here and there, as it bounds on. The data are brought up to the spring of 1912, when measures for the introduc tion of the devices in whole or in part are pend ing in various States.
