Excerpt from Essays in Municipal Administration Municipal government is so large and so complicated a subject that when one is asked to speak on the broad general topic, it is no easy matter to decide what aspect to discuss. There are the exciting and dramatic events of municipal politics in particular cities there are the difficult legal problems of municipal organization and the relation of cities to the state government; and there are a long series of special subjects connected with the everyday work of municipal officials. Instead of considering any of these subjects, how ever, I shall attempt here simply to emphasize the general importance of municipal government by a brief sketch of the development of cities and their functions, with some reference to the defects of American municipal management and means of improving the situation.

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.

Excerpt from The New City Government: A Discussion of Municipal Administration Based on a Survey of Ten Commission Governed Cities As comptroller of New York from 1906 to 1909, I became profoundly impressed with the great need existing in New York City for freeing officials from cumbersome and wasteful practices and for supplying them with the instruments of good administration, which up to that time had been employed almost exclusively in private enter prise.

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 improvement 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 municipal 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. In no one field has this "public eye" been more conspicuously developed than in the matter of municipal utilities franchises. When the League first began the agitation for a more rigid enforcement of franchise laws and demanded a more adequate supervision of them in the interests of the whole people, there was very little interest manifested. The suggestion that franchises should be granted for short terms, with increased power of supervision in the hands of the city authorities, received scant public support. Thanks to the very active agitation which has been carried on in the intervening period, the insistence on long-time franchises no longer prevails; and we find corporations, civic organizations and public officials uniting for the drafting of franchise ordinances that will at one and the same time serve the ends of the public, guarantee a safe return on a reasonable valuation of the investment, and subserve the convenience of the users of the utility. While it is quite true (as the governor of Wisconsin pointed out in a recent address) that the public interest has always in the eye of the law justified regulation in behalf of the people as a whole, nevertheless the tendency for many years was to disregard the public and its interests, on the principle that it had no rights which a corporation was bound to respect.
