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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Municipal Administration Much has been written on various aspects and problems of municipal administration, and some brief general outlines have also appeared; but nothing has thus far been published which can claim to be more than a partial or an elementary treatment, as indeed the authors would be the first to admit. This stage of fragmentary writing has been a necessary and an important one is developing the discussion and literary treatment of a new subject of large and growing significance. It would seem, however, that the time has now come for a more comprehensive and more systematic treatise, and it is an attempt in this direction that the writer makes bold to present this work. The title, "Municipal Administration," probably conveys a general idea of the subject to the minds of readers. Yet such is the vagueness and uncertainty with which words are used that it will be worth while to make the conception more exact by some definition of terms. Administration is a general term with the widest range of meaning, applying to the management of any kind of business. In reference to public affairs, administration is the detailed execution of general policies, the application of laws. It is to be contrasted and distinguished from legislation, and is indeed the work of public officials, established and set in operation by legislative measures. Municipal administration is that branch of public administration intrusted to municipal officials. The duties of such officials are almost exclusively of an administrative rather than a legislative character; and for that reason the title given is preferred to the less definite term "municipal government." It is necessary, further, to note more carefully the scope of the word "municipal." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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 improvement 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 municipal 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. In no one field has this "public eye" been more conspicuously developed than in the matter of municipal utilities franchises. When the League first began the agitation for a more rigid enforcement of franchise laws and demanded a more adequate supervision of them in the interests of the whole people, there was very little interest manifested. The suggestion that franchises should be granted for short terms, with increased power of supervision in the hands of the city authorities, received scant public support. Thanks to the very active agitation which has been carried on in the intervening period, the insistence on long-time franchises no longer prevails; and we find corporations, civic organizations and public officials uniting for the drafting of franchise ordinances that will at one and the same time serve the ends of the public, guarantee a safe return on a reasonable valuation of the investment, and subserve the convenience of the users of the utility. While it is quite true (as the governor of Wisconsin pointed out in a recent address) that the public interest has always in the eye of the law justified regulation in behalf of the people as a whole, nevertheless the tendency for many years was to disregard the public and its interests, on the principle that it had no rights which a corporation was bound to respect.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Municipal Home Rule: A Study in Administration The unsatisfactory character of American mu nicipal government has, within the past few years, drawn unusual attention to the problems which it presents, and which, on account of the recent extraordinary development of municipal life, are becoming at the same time more numerous and more important. But as a result of the intimate connection of municipal with general government, all concrete attempts at municipal reform must of necessity depend upon an accurate delimitation of the sphere of action, which can, with due regard to the interests of the state as a whole, be assigned to our municipal organizations. The attempt to delimit such a sphere of action is the purpose of this little work. The science of municipal gov ernment in this country is, however, in such an early stage of development, and as a result, the theories with regard to municipal reform are so various, and indeed, so conflicting, that it has been thought wise to leave the realm of theories, based on a priori reasoning, and to endeavour in the delimitation of the sphere of municipal home rule, which it has been attempted to make, to find out exactly what is, by the present American law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Government of Municipalities The main topics treated in this volume and the reasons for the order of their presentation are so fully explained in the introductory chapter that few words are needed here. The lack of any generally accepted municipal system in the United States and the contrariety of opinion concerning the most important methods of municipal government are recognized facts, and - they must largely affect the treatment of our subject. Conflicts of opinion and serious disputes about theories and methods would be unavoidable even if nothing further should be attempted than a plan of city government formed by compilation and deductions from American precedents and experience alone. I must think that such a treatment of the matters we are to deal with would be quite inadequate; for very instructive lessons in municipal government can be best studied in the practical methods, and the results of administration in the leading cities of Europe, where municipal experience has been much longer and more varied than in the United States. Nevertheless, our municipal system must be framed in harmony with our constitutional principles and social life; so that, while nothing intrinsically good should be rejected merely because of its foreign origin, nothing can be adopted unless compatible with the fundamental theories of republican government.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Municipal Government Ihe city. We find in all cotintries large aggregations of persons in small areas which are variously called cities or urban communities. The mere existence of such aggregations presents peculiar phenomena. We ask the questions: How did these aggregations come about? and, How are they constituted! that is, What are the characteristics of urban populations! These questions are of a sociological nature. When we speak of the city or urban community as a mere aggregation of persons we are therefore using the term in a sociological sense. But the presence of these aggregations causes problems to arise which are not sociological in character. For these aggregations must have a governmental organization. Not only must they have such an organization but their problems being peculiar, owing to the density of their population, that organization must be different from that which is accorded to rural communities. When, therefore, we speak of a city or urban community as a governmental organization we are using the term in a political rather than a sociological sense. We are not ttiiTiTriiig 80 much of the reasons why aggregations of persons exist or of the character of their xopulation as of the position which the city occupies as an organ of government and of the political powers which it exercises. It has been said that the political problems of cities are peeoliar. This is due to the character of urban populations.1 Authorities: Veber, The Growth of Cities etc.; Hobson, The Evolntion of Capitalism; Qiddings, Hie Principles of Sociology.

Download or read book Municipal Monopolies and Their Management Classic Reprint written by A. H. Sinclair and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Municipal Monopolies and Their Management The earlier portion of Mr. Sinclair's Essay is occupied with a statement of the conditions affecting the industries in question, and a discussion of the various considerations which have to be taken into account in the determination of muni cipal policy. Herein he is, to a large extent, traversing ground already examined by others; and such usefulness as the Essay will possess will be derived from its comparative completeness and its systematic arrangement. The later part of the Essay, however, is, in my opinion, of higher value; for it is, as far as I know, the first impartial attempt that has yet been made to compare the financial position of public with that of private undertakings. This comparison ought to do somewhat to moderate the ardour of extremists on either side. Into the detail of Mr. Sinclair's argument it is not desirable to enter in this note. But there are two aspects of the subject' which he has not touched, and upon which some observations may not be out of place. An enlargement of municipal' action in relation to monopolistic industries has been very widely supported, especially in the United States, in the belief, which has been freely expressed, that it would be a step in the direction of Socialism, or Nationalism. Such advocacy can scarcely be regarded as altogether wise. In the first place, it implies that we can formulate a much more definite conception of the future organization of society than is permitted by an intelligent belief in social evolution. In the second place, it arouses the Opposi tion of men who would otherwise be ready to assist in a practical reform and allows those who are struggling to retain in their own hands the advantages of monopoly to shelter themselves behind the principle of industrial freedom It would be at once more scientific and more expedient, if the advocates of muni cipal action would allow that, as the world is now constituted, individual enter. Prise has obvious advantages, and then go on to point out that in the case of certain city industries these advantages cannot be obtained, since, from the nature of the case, competition is there impossible. What the common sense citizen has to understand is this, that to try to maintain individual enter prise ih a field where it cannot be allowed with advantage, is to discredit individual enterprise even in fields where it is desirable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Cities Awake: Notes on Municipal Activities and Administration The important question, therefore, is how shall we use most wisely the vindicated justice and the reestablished oppor tunity which this war is to bring. When it is over, our heroic soldiers will come trooping back from fields which they have consecrated with their sacrifices; their hearts will leap with joy as they return to the country they have served, and their welcome will be on every tongue and in every heart. We will build monuments in this country with strange foreign names on them, but those names will become household words and part of our tradition and their mention will stir noble emotions as future generations form their characters by rereading the brave story of the things done by this generation. But the great army will have finished its task on the field of battle and will take up its great task on the field of life; each of these soldiers will become a citizen again, with his trade or profes sion, with his family, with his friends, and with the rest of life to live under conditions which he has won the right to expect shall be free and fine. The victory will be a point in history, the memories of this great contest a glorious tradition; but the fruits of the victory must be caught up into our life, they must engender not merely more wholesome international relations, but improving opportunity for the individual and cooperation among individuals on a higher plane m the making of our own future as a people.
