Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Local Government of the United Kingdom I AM glad to hear that Mr. Clarke is materially enlarging the Scope of his excellent work Outlines of Local Govern ment, so extremely useful to those engaged in the Local Government Service. With an intimate knowledge of the importance of Local Government work, gained from Close upon forty years' experience, I do not hesitate to say that efficient Local Government Administration is of the highest importance to the well-being of our Empire and that efficiency is largely to be obtained by those engaged in it making themselves thoroughly acquainted with the law which appertains to it. Obviously, it must be to the advantage of students to have ready at hand a work, or text-book, upon which reliance can be placed to enable them to gain with ease the knowledge of which it is so absolutely necessary that they should become possessed, in order to qualify themselves for positions in the Local Government Service, whether connected with a Government Department, or with the Municipalities of the United Kingdom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Municipal Government in Great Britain In the present volume I have sought to give such an account of the working of municipal institu tions in Great Britain as would supply the infor mation that American readers might find most suggestive and useful for their purposes. A second volume will treat, somewhat similarly, of municipal government in the chief countries of Continental Europe. The British system and its developments, particularly in the great manufacturing and com mercial towns, would seem to be worthy of the practical attention of our ambitious American cities of corresponding rank as regards population and commercial importance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Local Government in England, Vol. 1 of 2 This book is the result of studies, prosecuted for many years, concerning the development of the domestic politics of England during the nineteenth century. What remains to be said of the origin and plan of the book, besides the explanations given in the introductory chapter, is mainly of a personal character. When I came the first time to the shores of England, more than ten years ago, it was as a student of English Law and Constitution entirely imbued with the ideas and judgments which the great German jurist and scholar, Rudolf von Gneist, had expressed in the many legal and political writings of his long career. But soon I discovered that those writings were not only in many ways obsolete, having been long passed by current practice and by modern legislative reforms, but also that the general idea of the modern political history of England, as given by Gneist, stood in inexplicable contradiction to the real development and the true nature of political facts. These first impressions have been strengthened by incessant study in England itself, until out of my doubts of the theories and judgments of Gneist there has resulted a view of modern English politics, independent of, and in essence opposed to, those views of Gneist which have so constantly been accepted as authoritative by continental learning. Here I have not to explain or justify a view which must rather be justified by the book itself. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Local Government and Taxation in England and Wales AT a late hour and with much difficulty attention has been directed to the defects and abuses of Local Government and the unfair inci dence and rapid growth of Local Taxation. Even now the public seems hardly to realise the magnitude and dangerous consequences of these evils. Their importance may well excuse the attempt made in this paper to show how fatal would be any protracted neglect in dealing with the question of Local Government, to examine the defects of our present system, and to point out the mischief to which those defects give issue. In the second part of this Paper (866 page I hope to suggest the direction which it appears to me that a scheme for the reconstruction of Local Government should take.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from City Government in the United States: With a Chapter on the Greater New York Charter I proposed to write a primer, as it were, of the science of city government. I wish to set citizens to thinking. Let them work out their own municipal destiny in the light of common sense and modem science. There is, so far as I know, not one popular book in the English language on municipal government. Maurice Block's Paris: Organisation Municipale is a very entertaining book, written in a dialogue form, which enables any French child to understand the government of the beautiful French capital. English and American writers have discussed in book form every phase of political science except popular municipal government. This omission does not wholly account for the faults of city government in the United States; but, if intelligent men had studied in text-books the science of city government as they learn the principles of political economy in high schools and colleges, it is not too much to say that our cities would be better ruled. It is said that "comparisons are odious," but every well-informed person must admit that in comparing American cities with those of the Old World we suffer by the comparison.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Local Government and Taxation in the United Kingdom: A Series of Essays Published Under the Sanction of the Cobden Club IN 187 5 the Cobden Club published a volume of Essays upon Local Government by different writers, giving some account of its rise and of its working both in our own and in various foreign countries. Since that time the ques tion has grown in importance, until it now stands in the very fore-front of our practical politics. Indeed, the present Government, of which Mr. Gladstone is the Prime Minister, has declared it to be one upon which legislative action must be taken at the earliest possible date. The Committee of the Cobden Club is therefore glad that it is able to publish a fresh volume of Essays dealing with the question of Local Government and Taxation in the United Kingdom. The Committee has been fortunate in securing for this purpose the services of able men, who have respectively dealt with different branches of this most important subject. The writers do not, of course, pretend to have treated exhaustively the various portions of it severally dealt with by them. It would have been impossible to do so within the limits, necessarily restricted, of such a volume as the present. But it may with truth be said that the writers have contributed much, both.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rural Municipalities and the Reform of Local Government: An Outline of a Scheme of Local England and Wales It may be worth while recalling that the aggregate budget of local authorities stands second only to that of the National Government. The returns for the year ending 25th March, 1884, show that the income of the local authorities of England and Wales, for that year, from all sources, was of which the amount levied in rates was and the amount raised by loans 3. The expenditure was and at the end of the year the outstanding loans amounted to These figures alone are sufficient to bring home to us the magnitude of the work of our Local Government. Amongst matters of general public importance which can hardly be considered apart from the question of Local Government, the necessity of a reform of local taxation is generally admitted, and there are now before the country proposals for allotting a part of the national taxes in relief of local expenditure, for reducing the charges on real pro perty and for apportioning the payment of rates between the landlord and tenant of agricultural land, for establishing a system of free elementary education, for establishing free libraries and other similar public institutions, for dealing with the allotment question and for creating a peasant proprietory, for giving to local elective bodies or to a direct popular vote the control of the sale of intoxicating drinks, and many others, none of which can be properly dealt with except in connection with the reform of Local Government.
