Footnotes destroy the interest of a book without materially adding to its value in other respects, especially where a book is intended for the gen eral reader as well as for the college student. Bibli ographies, though helpful, need not be repeated at this time when the excellent bibliography recently prepared by Professor Munro is still up to date. The reader or student who would go more minutely into any of the topics discussed or touched upon in this book is advised to turn to Professor Munro's Bibliography of Municipal Government for a very complete list of references. De tailed and extensive statistics are likewise quite as likely to repel as to attract, and have been eliminated as far as possible for the purpose of making the work more readable. Excellent statistical information on American cities is readily available in the publications of the United States Census Bureau.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Study City Government: An Outline of the Problems of Municipal Functions, Control and Organization This little book now offered to the public has taken its present form rather sooner than was at first intended. It is the outgrowth of a bare outline or scheme of the problems of city government, prepared during the past year in connection with private tutoring work. In spite of the recent increased interest in municipal affairs, many people ask, when a student of city government announces himself, "Why! what is there in that to study?" The outline which forms the basis of this volume was prepared in order to show people just what there is in city government that it is worth while to study.

This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from State and Municipal Government in the United States In spite of the importance and interest of international and national questions of policy and in spite of the rapidly widening sphere of federal legislation and administration the life of an American citizen is affected more often by the agencies of local government than by those of the national government. Under the protection of the Federal Constitution the life and property of the citizen are governed and protected by state, not federal, laws. In his political capacity the citizen takes part in both the federal and the local government in accordance with state regulations. Acting under the state laws are the particular political units in which the citizen may reside - the county, city, or town. T o the authorities of these the citizen most fre quently looks for governmental support and regulation. Yet these local bodies are distinctly subordinate to and created by the authority of the state and are supervised and regulated by it. It is the purpose of this book to discuss the organization, the distribution of powers and functions, and the operation of these agencies of local government. Other books have dealt with state government and state administration or with munici pal government and municipal administration, but this book covers both state and municipal government, treating the two as a single manifestation of local government. With this in mind the book has been divided into five parts. In Part I the federal system and the state constitutions as the fundamental basis of local government are discussed. Part 11 deals with the political system - the electorate in theory and in action, in primaries, in election campaigns, and in its direct action in the use of the initiative, referendum, and recall. Part III deals with state government - the different organs and the functions which these organs perform. State administration, which is rapidly being extended both directly and through the supervisory power of the state, is discussed in its various manifestations.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Treatise on the Law of Municipal Corporations We have popularized and made use of municipal institutions to such an extentas to constitute one of the most striking features of our government. It owes to them, indeed, in a great degree, its decentralized character. When the English Municipal Corporations Reform Act of 1835 was passed there were in England and Wales, excluding London, only two hundred and forty-six places exercising municipal functions; and their aggregate population did not exceed two millions -of people. In this country our municipal corporations are numbered by thousands, and the inhabitants subjected to their rule by millions.

Download or read book The Government of Municipalities Classic Reprint written by Dorman B. Eaton and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 544 pages. 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.

Download or read book Municipal Administration Classic Reprint written by John A. Fairlie and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 470 pages. 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Commentaries, Vol. 1: The Law of Municipal Corporations The necessity for a work upon Municipal Corporations was so seriously felt by the author when holding a seat on the Supreme Bench of a State where questions relating to the powers, duties, and liabilities Of municipalities were presented at almost every term, that he resolved, eight years ago and more, to endeavor to supply the want. Although the subject is one of unsurpassed practical importance, since nearly every considerable city and town in the United States is incorporated, no American work upon it has ever appeared. A careful examination of the English treatises satisfied the author that they were, in a great measure, inapplicable here, and that they fail to cover a large portion of the existing field of the law upon the subject as enlarged by American legislation and practice. True, our municipal system, like the body of our jurisprudence, was derived from England, but it is remarkable how many changes were necessary to adapt it to Our system of government and mode of administration, and to the wants and situation of our people. Accordingly, if the municipalities of the one country be closely compared with those of the other, it will be found that, in their structure, powers, and workings, they present quite as many points of difference as of similarity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Municipal Manual: A Description of the Constitution and Functions of Urban Local Authorities The student of public affairs who aspires to a professional appointment or an elective office in the municipal service, naturally seeks a popular manual which will give him an introduction to the scheme and work of English local government. To his surprise, he finds that no such handbook exists. There is a plenitude of legal text books and treatises, appalling in their size and measure less in their profundity; but these appear rather as fortresses guarding the path of inquiry from attack than as the gateways to knowledge. This little book is therefore issued in the hope that it will be useful to all those who desire to make an acquaintance with the subjects which, in practice, call for the attention of members of local authorities, municipal officers, and others engaged in the public work of our towns.

Download or read book National Municipal Review 1913 Vol 2 Classic Reprint written by Clinton Rogers Woodruff and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 848 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from National Municipal Review, 1913, Vol. 2 It is possible to distinguish in all forms and grades of government two ultimate or primary functions: The one consists in the determination of the public policy; the' other in the execution of that policy after it has been once determined. The one function is legislation; the other administra tion. This distinction of governmental functions has been made from an early time and is at the basis of that fundamental principle of American constitutional law usually referred to as the principle of the separation of powers. It is a distinction based upon a sound psychology. In the case of a single sentient being the will must be formulated, if not expressed, before its execution is possible. In the case of political bodies, which are more and more coming to be recognized as subject to psychological law, not only must the will or policy be formulated before it can be executed, but also the very complexity of their operations makes it almost impossible to intrust the same authority as well with the execution as with the deter mination of the public policy. This is so not merely because the function of determining the public policy requires deliberation while the function of its execution requires quickness of action, but also because the burden of government is too great to permit of its being borne by any one authority.

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 Municipal Government IN the belief that there was a demand for a book on municipal government somewhat comprehensive in its mom and attempting to cover, however incompletely, the entire field, Municipal Government has been written. The endeavor has been made therefore to treat both the historical develop ment of city institutions in western Europe and to discover the characteristics which distinguish the social conditions of modern urban populations, in the hope that help might be obtained in the solution of the problems presented by city life. The fulfilment of the purpose which the author has had in mind has made it necessary to cover some of the ground already covered in books from his pen. This is particularly true of his City Government in the United States, from which much of the matter in the present work having reference to the condi tions existing in American cities has been taken. It has been the author's hope, in writing the following pages, that they might both prove of value to that increasing body of students in colleges and high schools, who devote some portion of their time to the study of municipal government and be of interest to that part of the general public, apparently also increasing in number, who are endeavoring to solve the prob lems arising in connection with urban development.
