Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selected Articles on the Commission Plan of Municipal Government: Second and Enlarged Edition There is no denying the increasing interest in the commission form of city government. While this volume was originally prepared for the use of debaters and students, the demand for it by libraries and members of clubs and organizations who are everywhere studying this question, has rendered necessary a new edition within a year. The present volume contains all the material included in the first edition, and has been brought up to date by the addition of recent articles and references. All articles have been edited so as to avoid useless repetition. The general arrangement followed in the first edition has been preserved. The introduction deals briefly with the general municipal situation, and leads up to the commission plan. The general discussion consists of a series of articles explaining the relationship of the commission plan to other important municipal problems. Following this, are the affirmative and negative discussions, respectively. A page of data concerning the commission plan, compiled especially for the original volume and brought up to date in this edition, will be found of value to the student. There is also a brief of the question; and a bibliography, so complete as to include all important material, and so arranged as to let the investigator know at once the value of each reference. This bibliography has been enlarged by the inclusion of a number of references to articles published since the appearance of the first edition. Libraries that do not contain a complete file of magazines, pamphlets and late municipal books, will find this volume an inexpensive yet practical method of supplying the demand for material on the commission question. It is also recommended to legislators, members of city councils, business men, in short, to all who are interested in the betterment of city government.
