More than a half century of experience of every con ceivable 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 experi ence that carries more weight than all the other arguments.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chicago: City of Decisions Chicago is located at the southwesternmost penetration of the Great Lakes into the rich and productive agricultural heart of America. Lake transport played a role in the settlement of city and region. It is important today for, movement of goods into or out of its hinterland or for assembly of bulky raw materials for manufacturing, as in the steel industry. The Great Lakes also affected the rise of Chicago to its equally significant position as the greatest railroad center in the world. Rail lines from the west focused on Chicago as the nearest point of water transport. Rail lines between the Northeast and the Northwest are compressed by the barrier of Lake Michigan into a band around the southern end of the lake. These lines funnel into Chicago. Based on the strategic position for transporta tion, Chicago has developed as a thriving commercial, cultural, and indus trial metropolis. But the nature of this growth depended in large part on the vision and industry of its leaders. Professor Mayer tells the story of five critical decisions of the past that have made Chicago what it is today. He also clarifies the nature of three decisions now facing the citizens of the city; the actions on these decisions will influence the type and quality of the city tomorrow.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report to the Mayor and the City Council of the City of Chicago You, Of course, are advised of the somewhat unsettled condition of the ownership of the lake frontage caused by extensive filling in from time to time of the submerged lands. Large areas of these submerged lands have been filled in and are now in process of being filled in and are taken possession of by private parties without authority of law, as the writer believes, and day by day, week by week, and month by month, these aggressive private interests advance further and further into and over the waters of the lake, appropri ating to their own uses the common heritage Of the people, the most valuable, attractive and artistic lake water frontage ever possessed by a free city. Between Grant Park and Twenty-second Street, between Forty-seventh Street and Fifty-first Street and between Fifty-third Street and Jackson Park this process of the extension of private dominion over the natural recreation beaches and playgrounds of the city goes steadily, rapidly and persistently for ward. These aggressive private interests never slumber; their paid agents and attorneys are ever on the alert to extend their jurisdiction lakeward, while in the meantime the public, inactive and slothful, its representatives ever chang ing by the change in political administration, sleeps on its rights and the peo ple's heritage pays the penalty. In connection with the work of the Special Committee on Bathing Beaches and Amusement Piers, the writer's attention was first directed to this subject, and as a member of such committee, and with the consent and approval of the chairman thereof, the writer, with a view of bringing some order, if pos sible, out of the general chaos that seemed to pertain relative to the lake front.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chicago's Way Out: The City Manager Plan For many long years, Chicago and Cook County have been governed in the interests of political ma chines. Public services have been absurdly and at times criminally expensive, and an outrageous con dition of governmental affairs has been disclosed in spectacular scandals revealing a dangerous degree of dishonesty and mismanagement. With hundreds of millions of dollars controlled by our local govern ment and millions of Chicagoans dependent on es sentigl services, political misgovernment becomes intolerable. Drastic reorganization of the city government is necessary both as an end in itself and as the first step toward improving affairs in Cook County.

In American municipalities the first method is almost universal in the case of street railways and quite common in the case of water and lighting plants. C. The question is whether the last method is preferable to the others. The solution of the question seems to present four main issues. A. Is the ownership and operation of light, water, and transportation plants a municipal function? B. Is the system of private ownership of natural munic ipal monopolies in the United States objectionable? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

By the time the draft of the bill was completed, the session of the Legislature was well advanced, and the outlook for enabling legislation for Chicago was so discouraging that it seemed inexpedient to present the measure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from List of Titles on Municipal Government: With Special Reference to City Charters and to Local Conditions in Chicago; Prepared at the Request of the City Club of Chicago for the Chicago Charter Convention; March 1, 1906 In View of the recent favorable decision of the Supreme Court of Illinois on the charter amendment, and the organization of the Chicago Charter Convention, it is certain that the structure of municipal government will be very seriously considered during the coming year. There is, however, no convenient list of the most important sources of information bearing on these problems now of such great interest. The bibliography here pre sented does not purport to cover all of the books upon municipal govern ment, but includes merely a selected list of such material as particularly bears upon the structure of city government. It includes the charters of all the most important American cities and recent charters of a number of comparatively small cities, the most valuable treatises on municipal gov ernment and a number of special reports or investigations of city prob lems. By no means all of the existing works are cited here, but it is believed that the most important and reliable have been included. It is hoped that this list may be of service to those interested in improving the structure of the local government or governments.
