Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Consolidation of the City of Philadelphia To the venerated Senior of the Philadelphia Bar, who is yet, at great age, spared by a kind Providence, to shed a lustre upon our profession, this brief history is dedicated. Though not personally an actor in the work of consolidation, the counsel and countenance of Horace Binney were invaluable to his active juniors, and with the public largely influential. With the writer his opinion was authoritative to induce him to submit to the demand of his fellow-citizens to represent them in the Senate. It is fitting, therefore, that this report of the stewardship of their representatives should be presented to Horace Binney, and that the actors in the work achieved should claim for it the protecting influence of his name through later generations. To his acceptance, then, and to the favorable regards of the writer's associates in preparing and carrying the Act of Consolidation, and to the safekeeping of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, he commits this history, in the hope that it may be preserved in the remembrance of the Citizens of Philadelphia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1840s, Philadelphia was poised to join the ranks of the world's great cities, as its population grew, its manufacturing prospered, and its railroads reached outward to the West. Yet epidemics of riot, disease, and labor conflict led some to wonder whether growth would lead to disintegration. As slavery and territorial conquest forced Americans to ponder a similar looming disunion at the national level, Philadelphians searched for ways to hold their city together across internal social and sectional divisions—a project of consolidation that reshaped their city into the boundaries we know today. A bold new interpretation of a crucial period in Philadelphia's history, In Union There Is Strength examines the social and spatial reconstruction of an American city in the decades on either side of the American Civil War. Andrew Heath follows Philadelphia's fortunes over the course of forty years as industrialization, immigration, and natural population growth turned a Jacksonian-era port with a population of two hundred thousand into a Gilded Age metropolis containing nearly a million people. Heath focuses on the utopian socialists, civic boosters, and municipal reformers who argued that the path to urban greatness lay in the harmonious consolidation of jarring interests rather than in the atomistic individualism we have often associated with the nineteenth-century metropolis. Their rival visions drew them into debates about the reach of local government, the design of urban space, the character of civic life, the power of corporations, and the relations between labor and capital—and ultimately became entangled with the question of national union itself. In tracing these links between city-making and nation-making in the mid-nineteenth century, In Union There Is Strength shows how its titular rallying cry inspired creative, contradictory, and fiercely contested ideas about how to design, build, and live in a metropolis.

Book excerpt: On November 7, 1972 the voters of the City of Lexington and Fayette County, Kentucky overwhelmingly approved a comprehensive consolidation plan and the merged "Urban County Government" was officially launched January 1, 1974 to become the state's first and the nation's twelfth successful consolidation of city and county governments. The purpose of the research reported in this article is to offer some plausible explanations, based on document data, newspaper sources, personal observation and interviews, to the frequently-cited question, why consolidation was an acceptable alternative. The following are some of the findings of this study. (1) The Lexington experience may be viewed as a typical city-county consolidation in that it occurred in a medium-sized Southern metropolis and it took place under threat of annexation. (2) The Lexington experience tends to confirm the view that the occurrence of a critical circumstance, in addition to usual favorable conditions, would assure the success of consolidation campaign. What is unique and not found in the previous consolidation attempts, however, is the fact that the merger campaign in Kentucky's second most populous area was initiated and carried out in the midst of the probability that Lexington, then a second class city, would be reclassified as a first class city due to a rapid population increase and the municipal classification system prescribed by the state constitution. (3) While the community environment provided a set of favorable conditions for the consolidation campaign, it seems likely that the success of the Lexington merger might have been attributed to stimuli generated by the previous consolidation experiences, notably those of the Nashville metro, the Indianapolis Unigov and Jacksonville-Duval County. In fact, these areas had been considered as "model cities" in the consolidation campaign. (4) In view of the fact that the campaign was not well-organized, limited, and low-keyed, it can be suggested that the question of how much trust voters have in consolidation campaigners is more critical than how they perceive campaign strategies or governmental change itself. The validity of this conclusion can only be verified by a comprehensive survey of voter attitudes toward the consolidation plan.
