Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Municipal Ownership Surely and steadily throughout the world, municipal ownership is winning its way. More than a half century of experience of every conceivable form and under all sorts of conditions has put the matter beyond the realm of theory and experiment in all of the older countries. Even in the United States, and especially in recent years, it is rapidly gaining ground. And in this, as in all matters, it is practical experience that carries more weight than all the other arguments. Whatever else may be said against municipal ownership, it is pretty hard to meet the argument drawn from practical experience.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Municipal Ownership: Four Lectures Delivered at Harvard University 1907 Had this course of lectures been delivered in England, "Municipal Trade" would probably have been selected as the descriptive title; because these words would best have brought to the minds of Englishmen the range of the subjects to be dealt with. Municipal trade is, however, an ill-selected phrase; for it focuses the mind too exclusively on questions connected with profit and loss. When I had the honour to receive an invitation to deliver a course of lectures in the United States, in order to indicate their scope, I decided to entitle them "Municipal Ownership."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Municipal Ownership in Great Britain This book is the second of a series of four books which will give the results of the authors examination of the actual working, in important instances, of the public regulation and the government ownership and operation of the so-called public service industries: the railway, the telegraph, the street railway, the electric light, the electric power plant, and the telephone. The investigations in question have been carried on since the fall of 1892, and they have covered the United States, Great Britain, Germany, and Australia. The books embodying the results of the investigations will follow each other in quick succession. But that does not mean that they are in any way hasty productions. It has been the authors policy to delay publication until he had covered the entire field, because he desired to put at the disposal of the public the means of comparing the experience of several countries in the various kinds of experiments, without long intervals between the successive books setting forth that experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Municipal Ownership Vs. Private Corporations: With Legal and Editorial Opinions, Tables and Cost of Lights as Furnished by Private Companies and Municipal Plants, With List of Municipal Plants That Have Been Sold or Abandoned The United States Post Office is often cited as an illustration of the success of Government Ownership. And its advocates think that they have answered all objections to such ownership when they proudly pomt to the post office and triumphantly say, is not that great enterprise an example of what the government can do in the way of managing a great business institution for the benefit of the people. They fail to show that as a busi ness enterprise it is a losing one; that it never pays expenses and the last report shows a loss of Any corporation managed as it is managed would end in bankruptcy. Instead of being an argument in favor of government ownership, it is a warning against it. Where would the benefits of the post office be were it not for the aid of private corporations who transport and deliver the mails, the most important part of the whole process. This is not done by the government, but by private capital representing millions of money. The power of the post office department has been used asa vast political machine for rewarding friends, and the Boston Transcript states that the month preceding the presidential election the greatest percentage of re movals was made of any month for four years, whole lines were stripped of their experienced men, and the creatures of politicians were put in their places.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A List of Defunct Municipal Lighting Plants In view of the persistent suppression by advocates of municipal ownership of the real facts in regard to municipal lighting plants, it has seemed worth while to prepare a list of municipalities which have wholly or in part gone out of the lighting business by the sale, lease or abandon ment of their plants. In almost every case information has been sought first from the mayor or city clerk, and in cases where no response has been received from them, application has been made so far as possible to disinterested persons, such as the editors of the local papers.

Download or read book Public Works written by Ernest McCullough and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The premise behind "Public Works, A Treatise on Subjects of Interest to Municipal Officers" is that the Trustees of a California town have commissioned McCullough to explain "what the Trustees would be dealing with" from the point of view of engineers. Don't let the dry title fool you, this book will be of interest to many readers because it gives tips about things in the community that most people rarely think about but know are important. For example, the first four chapters deal generally with issues of health and safety (Streets, Health and Cleanliness, Drainage and Sewage, and Water Supply). McCullough write that enforcing sanitary laws is more important than just having the laws on the books. He explains that the biggest threat to the health of a closely settled community is undrained soil and the chapter on water discusses the best choices for water supply. Neither of the chapters are highly technical and instead are clearly written to be understood by the layperson. The second part of the book is about planning and includes chapters on Surveys, Contracts, Plans, Municipal Ownership and Bonds. Though it may seem odd for an engineer to write about finances and bonds, in the context of the book it makes perfect sense. In McCullough's experience, if a municipality is underfunded, then public works projects will fall short of what is required to have a healthy and functioning community. "Public Works, A Treatise on Subjects of Interest to Municipal Officers" imparts the most important considerations for town planners and manages to do it with great efficiency. Its focus on the basics is relevant for any town anywhere in the world. This short treatise on public works projects is an important summary for engaged citizens.
