Excerpt from Municipal Administration Much has been written on various aspects and problems of municipal administration, and some brief general outlines have also appeared; but nothing has thus far been published which can claim to be more than a partial or an elementary treatment, as indeed the authors would be the first to admit. This stage of fragmentary writing has been a necessary and an important one is developing the discussion and literary treatment of a new subject of large and growing significance. It would seem, however, that the time has now come for a more comprehensive and more systematic treatise, and it is an attempt in this direction that the writer makes bold to present this work. The title, "Municipal Administration," probably conveys a general idea of the subject to the minds of readers. Yet such is the vagueness and uncertainty with which words are used that it will be worth while to make the conception more exact by some definition of terms. Administration is a general term with the widest range of meaning, applying to the management of any kind of business. In reference to public affairs, administration is the detailed execution of general policies, the application of laws. It is to be contrasted and distinguished from legislation, and is indeed the work of public officials, established and set in operation by legislative measures. Municipal administration is that branch of public administration intrusted to municipal officials. The duties of such officials are almost exclusively of an administrative rather than a legislative character; and for that reason the title given is preferred to the less definite term "municipal government." It is necessary, further, to note more carefully the scope of the word "municipal." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Bibliography of Municipal Government in the United States A Bibliography of municipal government has been much needed for a long time by teachers, librarians and city officials. It is now nearly fifteen years since Professor Robert C. Brooks issued the second edition of his Bibliography of Municipal Affairs and City Conditions - a most useful handbook in its day. In the interval, however, there has been a prodigious output of publications relating to this general field. No one can hope to keep pace with it all. To attempt a complete catalogue would be a waste of time and printer's ink, since much of the material, most of it in fact, has only a transitory or local interest. The aim of the present editor has been to make, from the entire mass, a selection of those materials which seemed to be most likely to prove of service both to the general reader and to the special student of municipal affairs. For this reason the volume includes references of a widely differing character - some quite elementary and others semi-technical. It may appear incongruous to put such things side by side, but each has its own constituency. The field of municipal by side, but each has its own constituency. The field of municipal government has been approached from a broad viewpoint and regarded as including every important phase of local activity whether political, administrative, social or economic. In determining what ought to be included and what left out, certain definite but not inflexible rules have been kept in mind. It may be well to indicate them here, for they embody principles upon which most men interested in bibliographical apparatus would probably agree; they also explain many things in this volume which might otherwise be taken as indications of editorial predilection or caprice, and may thus serve to forestall some fastidious criticism.

Excerpt from Essays in Municipal Administration Municipal government is so large and so complicated a subject that when one is asked to speak on the broad general topic, it is no easy matter to decide what aspect to discuss. There are the exciting and dramatic events of municipal politics in particular cities there are the difficult legal problems of municipal organization and the relation of cities to the state government; and there are a long series of special subjects connected with the everyday work of municipal officials. Instead of considering any of these subjects, how ever, I shall attempt here simply to emphasize the general importance of municipal government by a brief sketch of the development of cities and their functions, with some reference to the defects of American municipal management and means of improving the situation.
