Synopsis

This book is the culmination of the National Municipal League's 6th annual meeting in New York, where efforts to improve municipal governance were discussed and reported on by notable figures of the era, including the mayor of Rochester, NY. With topics ranging from women's suffrage to charter reform, this collection of papers and reports delves into the history and practice of city government in the United States at the turn of the 20th century. The author takes a historical approach to the theme, contrasting the challenges of the day with the existing political landscape, going as far as to suggest that the ideal society is one where the municipality is the organizing principle of government rather than the nation state.
