Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Future of Local Government Local Government seems, to many people, an uninspiring study. The school of Socialists, very influential in this country in the past, which devoted its principal attention to the development of the "municipal enterprise" of a generation ago, has been, then and since then, freely denounced and contemned as advocates of mere "gas and water Socialism." Perhaps, from one point of view, the criticism was just; for it was easy for the local Labour councillor, keenly conscious of the responsibilities of his office and somewhat overwhelmed by the mass of administrative detail in which he found himself involved, to forget all about the wider issues of Socialism, and to devote himself entirely to his efforts to improve the housing, sanitation, and services and amenities of his native town within the limitations imposed by the present economic and political system. But, if the criticism was in some measure justified, certainly in some quarters the reaction has been allowed to proceed too far, so as to obscure the fundamental importance of the work upon which the local Labour councillor is engaged. For Local Government is a matter of primary concern, above all to the Labour Movement, not only on account of the immediate services which it is capable of performing, but also because of the place which it can be made to assume in a reorganized social system.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Problems of Local Government The first international congress on the administrative sciences was undoubtedly one of the most important of the many held at Brussels during the exhibition year of 1910. Its English title, however-the official and literal translation from the French-was, from the English point of view, not happily chosen and led from the outset to a misunderstanding of the scope of the Congress. What, it was naturally asked, are those administrative sciences ? and the Congress itself supplied no answer to the question. A better title would appear to be "The Science of Administration," which, it would be readily understood, must have a number of branches and must be looked at under a number of various aspects.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Council Government Versus Mayor Government We are first of all confronted with the argument from our own municipal experience. We are told that the American city council has proved itself in practice unfit to be trusted. Its powers have been taken away only because it has abused them. Whatever methods of election or of organization have been tried, it has been found impossible to secure good council men. The system of council rule worked well enough in the early days, with simple administrative problems and a compara tively high qualification for the electorate. But with the intro duction of universal suffrage, the influx of foreign immigrants, the intrusion of party politics and the growth of municipal functions, the system broke down completely. These state ments are usually made as if they were self-evident common places of history. Seldom is any detailed study brought to their support. But historical evidence must be handled with the greatest care in order to be conclusive. Failure rightly to analyze causes and effects and to take account of differences in conditions is apt to vitiate our reasoning. Not yet have we suflicient knowledge of municipal history or suflicient outlook into the future to justify dogmatic conclusions as to the relative success of council rule and mayor rule. A few considerations may be presented, however, which show how comparatively weak is this argument in favor of the mayor system from our experience in city government.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The San Francisco Bay Area: Its Problems and Future Local governments throughout the nation face a common fiscal prob lem: imbalance between the costs of providing local services and the productivity of local sources of support. Traditional methods of raising revenue have proved too limited and inflexible to permit local govern ments to tap adequately and equitably the resources that are available to pay for public services. The basic difficulty is lack of suitable revenue raising machinery, rather than lack of capacity. One of the main features of our multi-level political system is the assignment of many functions of civil government to the various geo graphical subdivisions of the states. Responsibility for provision of public education, of welfare services, of police and fire protection, of streets and sewers, and of parks and recreation, for example, is largely delegated to counties, cities, school districts, or other local units.
