Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Municipal Ownership Surely and steadily throughout the world, municipal ownership is winning its way.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Municipal Ownership: Four Lectures Delivered at Harvard University 1907 Had this course of lectures been delivered in England, "Municipal Trade" would probably have been selected as the descriptive title; because these words would best have brought to the minds of Englishmen the range of the subjects to be dealt with. Municipal trade is, however, an ill-selected phrase; for it focuses the mind too exclusively on questions connected with profit and loss. When I had the honour to receive an invitation to deliver a course of lectures in the United States, in order to indicate their scope, I decided to entitle them "Municipal Ownership."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Municipal Ownership in Great Britain This book is the second of a series of four books which will give the results of the authors examination of the actual working, in important instances, of the public regulation and the government ownership and operation of the so-called public service industries: the railway, the telegraph, the street railway, the electric light, the electric power plant, and the telephone. The investigations in question have been carried on since the fall of 1892, and they have covered the United States, Great Britain, Germany, and Australia. The books embodying the results of the investigations will follow each other in quick succession. But that does not mean that they are in any way hasty productions. It has been the authors policy to delay publication until he had covered the entire field, because he desired to put at the disposal of the public the means of comparing the experience of several countries in the various kinds of experiments, without long intervals between the successive books setting forth that experience.

Private Corporations: With Legal and Editorial Opinions, Tables and Cost of Lights as Furnished by Private Companies and Municipal Plants, With List of Municipal Plants That Have Been Sold or Abandoned The United States Post Office is often cited as an illustration of the success of Government Ownership. And its advocates think that they have answered all objections to such ownership when they proudly pomt to the post office and triumphantly say, is not that great enterprise an example of what the government can do in the way of managing a great business institution for the benefit of the people. They fail to show that as a busi ness enterprise it is a losing one; that it never pays expenses and the last report shows a loss of Any corporation managed as it is managed would end in bankruptcy. Instead of being an argument in favor of government ownership, it is a warning against it. Where would the benefits of the post office be were it not for the aid of private corporations who transport and deliver the mails, the most important part of the whole process. This is not done by the government, but by private capital representing millions of money. The power of the post office department has been used asa vast political machine for rewarding friends, and the Boston Transcript states that the month preceding the presidential election the greatest percentage of re movals was made of any month for four years, whole lines were stripped of their experienced men, and the creatures of politicians were put in their places.

Download or read book The Modern and the Municipal Franchise for Women Classic Reprint written by Jane Addams and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-19 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Modern and the Municipal Franchise for Women We are accustomed to say, even in regard tofederal affairs, that a sense of national stability is of even more fundamental 1mportance than national defense. We add to that, and this applies to the city government as well, that any thing which. Diminishes the elector's love of country or interest in its preservation is a menace to the nation; and in the past great stress has been laid upon ownership and that sense of responsibility which property entails. But in the modern city the renters outnumber the landlords a thousand fold, and the ownership of the home becomes less frequent as we leave the farm and the village and proceed to the great centers. As the modern city dweller looks about for other forms of investment as a substitute for real estate, so we must appeal to those interests which are more general, more primordial, and much more trustworthy, in our effort to substitute in the modern city the sense of stability for the spirit of defense. If one could connect these'old maternal anxieties, which are really the basis of family and tribal life, with the'candidates who are seeking offices, it would never 'be necessary to scold cit-her men or women for remaining at home on election day.

Download or read book A Bibliography of Municipal Utility Regulation and Municipal Ownership Vol 4 Classic Reprint written by Don Lorenzo Stevens and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Bibliography of Municipal Utility Regulation, and Municipal Ownership, Vol. 4 An extensive bibliography intended primarily for the use of business men may appear somewhat novel. Yet the recent great increase in the number of special libraries is an indication of the widespread need for ready access to business literature. In the field of public utility regulation and municipal ownership the amount of material is so vast that few can keep pace with it. To provide a classified and critical index for the use of utility managers, commissioners, lawyers and all others interested in public utilities is the purpose of this work. In making a choice of material to be included and the form of presentation, the decision has been based upon the needs of the busy man of affairs. That the expert and the general reader alike may be served, all readily accessible books and signed articles, of more than transitory interest, have been listed. Free use of annotations, together with a detailed subject classification, will serve to guide the reader to the works best suited to his needs. Official publications are included only if especially valuable, but references to other sources of information are given in the list of bibliographies. Works in other languages than English are omitted. Electric, gas, water and traction utilities are covered, and it is believed that little of value on the subjects treated has been overlooked. Owing to the rapid changes in the methods of regulation during the last decade, nearly all of the recent but only the best of the earlier material is included. The work has been brought down to January 1, 1917. As no one person could pass expert judgment on so many subjects, the critical annotations are intended to indicate relative value only. Not all people will agree with the author's comments on the various works, but the annotations are only intended to facilitate a selection of material. The title and annotations, together with the subject classification, indicate quite closely the nature of each book and article.

Download or read book Report on Government Ownership of Public Utility Service Undertakings Classic Reprint written by City Club of Los Angeles and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on Government Ownership of Public Utility Service Undertakings During the latter part of 1915 a Special Committee on Municipal Ownership was appointed by Francis B. Kellogg, President of the City Club of Los Angeles, with Charles K. Mohler, Consulting Engineer, Chairman. The first result of the Committee's work was embodied in a report (based on 1915 data then available) presented during the fall of 1916, and given to the press. This part of the report is still left mainly on the 1915 basis. A supplemental report was subsequently prepared, a brief synopsis of which was presented to the Club at its regular meeting on Saturday, June 3oth, 1917, by the Committee Chairman. Both reports have been almost wholly the work of Mr. Mohler. These reports contain a vast amount of detail information which should be made available to those interested in public service finances and municipal ownership questions. It is believed that much of the data in the supplemental report and the method of presentation are original and unique.
