Excerpt from Municipal Reform in the United

The Science of Municipal Government in this country is crude. Our methods are expensive and our governments inefficient. The burden has become oppressive and nearly every city in the land is making some efforts for reform, and there are no cities where the same are not necessary. The ultimate results will be good, but their attainment through numerous failures may be slow and costly. Good government in this country must come from the people, and they must know what measures are desirable and what theories are visionary and impracticable. The student of municipal government can find abundant information in many books upon the subject. The newspapers and magazines have published numerous articles that are interesting and instructive to the average reader, but they present the subject in a promiscuous and disconnected manner.
