Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from London's Story The object of this small book is to explain London as a living city. People often say that London is so difficult to understand, and that its government is in such a muddle that no ordinary person can ever hepe to know much about it. That is not true. London is quite simple, if people will only look at it in the right way. The only real excuse for those who do not understand London is that London has never been properly explained to them. In this book I have tried to explain London so that every one can understand it - that is, every one who wants to for there are plenty of people who live and move about in London without ever wondering about its story, its government or its greatness. But I feel sure that most people are interested in the things around them. They like to be told about their Lord Mayor, their Borough Councils, their parks, tramcars and drain-pipes, their water supply and their electricity. For everything has its story. And London itself, as the biggest city in the world, has a story that is really full of interest. When that story is understood, everything in London becomes clear.

This book was released on 2017-01-21 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from London Government Under the Local Government Act, 1888 It will not merely absorb the functions of county authorities, but will succeed to all the powers, duties, and liabilities of the Metropolitan Board of Works. That board came into existence on January 1, 1856, and it will pass away on April 1, 1889, having had a life of thirty-three years and three months. During that period it has exercised an enormous influence upon the municipal aflairs of London. It has constructed a main drainage system at a cost of more than six millions and a half: embanked the Thames: freed most of the bridges from toll: constructed vast arteries of street communication: established and maintained a metropolitan fire brigade: provided and maintained 2603 acres of parks and open spaces free to the public for ever: exercised a controlling jurisdiction over the half-million buildings of London cleared vast insanitary areas: and in many other ways discharged under more than 120 Acts of Parliament important municipal functions in London. The transfer by a single clause in an Act of Parliament of the powers, duties, and liabilities of an Authority of this kind to a directly elected municipality, is an operation the boldness of which is not less striking than its magnitude.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The London Water Supply Government Board, if dissatisfied with the companies' proposals, may introduce a Bill of its own, dealing with the same question. Whatever may be the upshot of all this prepara tion, a great deal of controversy and discussion is inevitable. The preliminary skirmishing which has been going on all the winter is only the prelude to a big Parliamentary engagement. The most strenuous opposition from various quarters will be offered to the proposals of the County Council, who, in turn, may be trusted to follow the usual policy of resisting to the uttermost all measures brought forward by those who are still actually responsible for providing London with water.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from London Government: The Local Government Act, 1888, in Its Application to London It may be in the remembrance of those who have followed this subject for many years, that Mr. J. F. B. Firth, then (1880) Member for Chelsea, published a scheme having for its object the extinction of every existing Local Governing body, and the erection of one sole municipality for the whole of London. A league, called the Metropolitan Government Reform League, was established to advocate this plan. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The London Government Act 1899 written by Austin Fleeming Jenkin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-02-01 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The London Government Act, 1899: With Notes, an Introduction, and an Index The London Government Act, 1899, provides for the division of London, exclusive of the City, into metro politan boroughs, and for the establishment, in each metropolitan borough, of a borough council consisting of a mayor, aldermen, and councillors. The borough councils will succeed to the functions and property of the existing vestries and district boards, and of the existing authorities charged with the execution of the Burial Acts, the Baths and Washhouses Acts, and the Public Libraries Acts. The council of each borough will also act as the overseers of every parish in their borough. The Act further invests the borough councils with certain powers and duties which, since they do not attach to the bodies above referred to, may fairly be called new powers and duties. In the present work I have dealt somewhat fully with the law relating to the constitution of the borough councils and the election of their members. And I have also dealt at some length with what I have described as their new powers and duties. In other respects I have confined myself almost entirely to endeavouring to elucidate the provisions of the London Government Act itself, devoting particular attention to the clauses of the Act of most immediate interest, such as the clauses dealing with the preparation of schemes and with existing officers. I have made no attempt to discuss the existing law as to the powers and duties that will attach to the borough councils as successors of the vestries and district boards and of the other authorities above mentioned, or in their capacity of overseers.

This book was released on 2018-09-08 with total page 822 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Municipal London, or London Government as It Is, and London Under a Municipal Council To the second part of the work are prefixed three chapters, containing a history of attempted Municipal Reform, and a discussion of the various schemes that have been proposed. These chapters will serve a useful purpose in illustrating the different methods by which the interested City Corporation has succeeded in shelving the ques tion, and they will enable future Municipal Re formers to steer clear of the rocks on which former measures have been wrecked. A system whereby the whole Metropolis may be governed by a Supreme Representative Council, is elaborated in the later chapters of the book. For this part of the work the Author claims only such credit as may be due to practical suggestions, based upon well-considered principles of Municipal Government.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The London County Council and Its Work: A Paper The particular features of the Council, which impress an American as in sharp contrast with our own forms of munici pal government, are these: the aldermanic rank; the fact that all elected councilors are elected for three years and go out of office at one time; the absence of any qualification requiring residence in a constituency on the part of a coun oilor; and the concentration of all power in a single body, which, Within the limited sphere of its functions, exercises both executive and legislative powers combined.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Local Government Since the first edition of this book appeared in 1899, several important statutes have been passed which affect Local Government in England and Wales. Chief among these are the London Government Act, 1899, and the Education Act of 1902. It was therefore necessary, in preparing the present edition, to entirely rewrite the chapter on the Education Authority, and to make considerable additions, especially to the chapter on the Metropolis.

That Municipal Patriotism which once marked the free cities of Italy, and which is already to be found in our own provincial towns, can, perhaps, best be developed in London by a steady expansion of the sphere of civic as compared with individual action.
