Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Local Government The advantages of this division of the labour of public administration between central and local authorities are obvious. The tasks undertaken by the modern state are so great and various that the attempt to accomplish them all by means of cen tral departments and professional officials alone is doomed inevitably to failure; all experience shows that sooner or later a breakdown is certain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

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.

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 (366 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 English Local Government: Statutory Authorities for Special Purposes Much of the work of investigation of these records was done between 1899 and 1908; and we owe thanks, not only to their custodians, by whom we were always courteously received, but also to our helpers in what proved an extensive as well as a protracted task. Among those whose work is embodied in the present volume, we must mention Mr. F. H. Spencer, LL.D., author of Municipal Origins, now in the Ministry of Education; Mrs. Spencer, B.se. (econ); Miss M. Bulkley, and Miss Hadley, archivist to the London County Council. For criticisms and suggestions, none the less valuable because we have not always implicitly incor porated them, we thank especially Professor Graham Wallas and Mr. Harold Laski, of the London School of Economics and Political Science. To Miss Ivy Schmidt, now Mrs. Bolton, we are indebted for much laborious cc-operation, and for the full index.

Book Synopsis English Local Government, From the Revolution to the Municipal Corporations Act by : Sidney Webb
Download or read book English Local Government, From the Revolution to the Municipal Corporations Act written by Sidney Webb and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-06-22 with total page 702 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Local Government, From the Revolution to the Municipal Corporations Act: The Parish and the County It may be of interest in this connection to give here a short survey of the materials. The indispensable foundation for any study of local governing bodies is an investiga tion of their own official records. We have found the manuscript minutes of the Parish Vestries and the primitive accounts of the parish officers - sometimes dating back four and even five centuries - a storehouse of facts and figures, and deserving both of more careful preservation and of more extensive publication than they have yet been favoured with. The voluminous Order Books and Sessions Papers of the Courts of Quarter Sessions in the different counties constitute precious materials for the social historian, whilst the scantier records of Petty and Special Sessions, and the manuscript diaries of Justices of the Peace, yield even more intimate knowledge than the formal records of the larger bodies. The Rolls of those Manors which still continued to do Local Government work go far to elucidate the manuscript minutes of the innumerable Courts and assemblies of which the Municipal Corporations of the period were made up. We broke ground that was quite new to us when we explored the proceedings of the Courts of Sewers, the Street Commissioners, the Turnpike Trustees, and the Incorporated Guardians of the Poor. To go through these local archives, all of which were indispensable to our task, has involved many a sojourn in provincial centres from Newcastle to Plymouth, and journeys innumerable into the remotest corners of England and Wales.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Local and Central Government: A Comparative Study of England, France, Prussia, and the United States In all European nations, whatever may have been the previous course of their constitutional history, the persistent and rapid growth of the functions of the state, and the constant assumption of new and onerous duties and responsibilities in the last century, have rendered some attempts at decentralisation and some grants of self- government absolutely necessary, if the national administration is to be carried on with success. Experience, ancient and modern alike, has shown conclusively that a completely centralised bureaucracy - that is, a self-recruiting body of officials working from a single centre, and responsible only to itself - cannot carry on indefinitely the administration of a large country; it tends to ignore the varieties of local conditions, to become stereotyped in its ideas and methods, and overburdened; and sooner or later a breakdown becomes inevitable.

Download or read book Rural Municipalities and the Reform of Local Government written by Herbert George Fordham and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-14 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Book Synopsis Local Government in Kansas (Classic Reprint) by : James Hulme Canfield
Download or read book Local Government in Kansas (Classic Reprint) written by James Hulme Canfield and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Local Government in Kansas This little volume endeavors to secure practical results with the utmost simplicity and directness of statement. To be successfully used, it must be regarded as one of those "thin" books which are necessarily supplemented by earnest and competent instruction. It is a book of texts - as every true text-book should be. Such matters as are peculiarly liable to change have been avoided, or touched as lightly as possible; the intention being to sketch the groundwork only - that which may be regarded as reasonably permanent. In order to prevent possible confusion by reason of too many details, and to place the remuneration for public service where it belongs - subordinate to the service itself - no definite salaries have been stated. As far as it has seemed desirable, the language of the statutes has been used. As the purpose of the work is simply to report the present facts of local government, there is very little criticism; very few words as to what such government ought to be. Such criticism and discussion might be very properly considered out of place in the common schools of the State. Suggestions that look to improvements or corrections in future editions will be welcomed. The appreciation of those received during the past four years is shown by their appearance in this revision. As there was but one motive in undertaking the task of preparing this manual, so there should be but one in using it - an earnest, desire to advance good citizenship in this imperial Commonwealth.

This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Future of Local Government The purpose of this book is to put forward a possible basis for a reorganization of Local Govern ment which will bring about this synthesis, and will do so on a scale in harmony with present-day economic development. But, it will doubtless be asked at the very outset, why set about making such a synthesis, even if it be possible? What is the case in favour of the creation of new effective units of Local Government which will bring town an-d country together? What need is there to upset things by the introduction of this new system? It is not pos sible, at this early point in this book, to give a complete or conclusive answer, which must depend on many factors still to be considered; but it is possible immediately to urge certain broad arguments of principle in favour of the change. These arguments are in part economic; but they are by no means wholly so. They are, as will [be seen more clearly at a later stage, also largely political; and they include important social and psychological elements which must not be ignored.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Digest of the Law and Practice Relating to Local Government: In England and Wales; Including London While we recognise that a new work of this kind must have many matters which may call for comment, we believe we are meeting a demand which is not only at the present moment pressing, but which will increase in the future. We are anxious that the book should become appreciated as a reliable work, and we shall therefore be grateful for any suggestion which any reader may care to send to us. In a book of this description it has not, of course, been found possible to include every item which might appear under the heading Local Government; we have had to use our discretion as to what Should be omitted. Certain other subjects could not be dealt with in any detail, and in these cases we have endeavoured by references to statutes and text-books to indicate where a fuller statement Of the law and practice can be found. It is hoped that the Digest in its present form will give a useful and reliable handbook on this wide and difficult subject.
