Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Finances of the City of New York The Finances Of the Empire City Of New York and those Of the Empire Republic Of China have many points of resemblance. For instance, the method of budget-making in New York City, some six years ago, was very similar to the method used in China under the monarchy, which con sisted in granting budgetary appropriations in lump sums, without any definite and clear segregation according to f unc tions and Objects Of expenditure. Again, the debt Of New York City. Has been allowed to grow to its present size of over a billion dollars, without any attempt on the part Of the city Officials, until recently, to keep it in check by intro ducing scientific methods Of administration, just as the na tional debt Of China has been permitted to grow to its pres ent size without any attempt on the part Of the Chinese offi cials to check its growth. In the following monograph I have attempted to make a close study Of the various phases of the financial transactions Of the City Of New York, as re ected in the of actual cash receipts and the of actual cash payments in 1913, and to ex plain how New York City is now financially maintained. Such a study serves to make clear the means by which the city has passed or is passing out Of a financial chaos into a financial system, and affords a valuable lesson for China's benefit. Many Of the scientific methods adopted by New York City in reforming her finances have been adopted by other cities in the United States for reforming theirs. Even the United States Government is now making a special ef. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST An epic, riveting history of New York City on the edge of disaster—and an anatomy of the austerity politics that continue to shape the world today When the news broke in 1975 that New York City was on the brink of fiscal collapse, few believed it was possible. How could the country’s largest metropolis fail? How could the capital of the financial world go bankrupt? Yet the city was indeed billions of dollars in the red, with no way to pay back its debts. Bankers and politicians alike seized upon the situation as evidence that social liberalism, which New York famously exemplified, was unworkable. The city had to slash services, freeze wages, and fire thousands of workers, they insisted, or financial apocalypse would ensue. In this vivid account, historian Kim Phillips-Fein tells the remarkable story of the crisis that engulfed the city. With unions and ordinary citizens refusing to accept retrenchment, the budget crunch became a struggle over the soul of New York, pitting fundamentally opposing visions of the city against each other. Drawing on never-before-used archival sources and interviews with key players in the crisis, Fear City shows how the brush with bankruptcy permanently transformed New York—and reshaped ideas about government across America. At once a sweeping history of some of the most tumultuous times in New York's past, a gripping narrative of last-minute machinations and backroom deals, and an origin story of the politics of austerity, Fear City is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the resurgent fiscal conservatism of today.
Download or read book The Control of City School Finances Classic Reprint written by George Willard Frasier and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Control of City School Finances The public schools of America cost money. This cost has constantly increased until today it involves a vast expenditure. Americans no longer doubt the advisability of public schools, but the question of financing these schools is a vital one. It is not the purpose of this book to discuss the merits of different methods of providing funds for the public schools. It shall attempt only to discuss the merits of the different methods of controlling these moneys. In New York City the board of esti mate and apportionment controls the granting of money to the schools; in Detroit it is the city council and mayor; in Cleveland it is the county budget commission; in Newark it is the board of school estimate; while in such cities as Philadelphia, Seattle, Chicago and St. Louis, the board of educa tion raises and expends its own funds. The question as to who shall control the raising g and disbursing of moneys for the public schools is, and has been for years, a much debated question. It is the purpose of this book to present the different methods used in American cities and to examine and evaluate each in the light of educational efficiency.

This book was released on 2017-10-19 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Final Report of the Committee on Taxation of the City of New York Increases in the selling price of land are a waste in the cost of pro duction, irrespective of whether one land speculator loses what another gains, or whether it is a net clear acquisition of any one land speculator. The average annual increase in the selling price of land in New York has been for the last decade about The total increase for the decade has been about Calculating interest at five per cent, and net ground rent also at five per cent, this means an annual charge of $125, ooo, ooo on a decade's increase in land values, to be paid by manufacturers, business men in general, tenants and home owners. This constitutes a dead weight fixed charge upon the workers of the city, of no use to any one except land speculators. Gradually transferring taxes from buildings to land values, during a period of ten years, would prevent most of the speculative increase in the selling price of land, and would save the community this fixed but wasteful charge, which tends to increase the cost of living and interest rates, and to keep land out of use longer, thus restricting employment. Speculation in land differs from speculation on the stock market. Speculation in land lays a burden in perpetuity upon the city; specula tion on the Stock Exchange is a game in which only gamblers lose or gain. Those who complain of their heavy burdens on real estate ig nore the fact that, while in 1880 real estate paid 87 per cent. Of the taxes for the city, in 1913 real estate paid only 75 per cent. The untaxing of buildings will lead to the lowering of rents. More houses will be built, and the competition of these houses will bring down rents, not only in the outskirts, where the new houses are built, but in the city's slums and centers. These lower rents will apply not only to the tenants of residential apartments but to the tenants of commercial structures. In either case, there will be an economic saving, due to the lower rent. In the case of tenements, the lower rents will mean an increased surplus to be divided for general purposes, which will tend to increase wages and to lessen unemployment. In the case of lower rents for business purposes, it will make New York City more attractive to industrial ventures, and will, to the extent of lessening of taxes, increase the funds available for the payment of wages or the ih vestment of capital, and thus contribute to general prosperity.
