Excerpt from Proceedings of the Milwaukee Conference for Good City Government and Sixth Annual Meeting of the National Municipal League
In presenting this, the sixth volume of Proceedings, it may not be inappropriate to point out brie?y what the National Municipal League has thus far sought to accomplish. In the first place, the Conferences for Good City Government held under its auspices have served as annual reunions of those de voting their time and attention to the solution of municipal problems. Officials, students and public-spirited citizens have met upon common ground to exchange views and experiences. In fact, the National Municipal League grew out of the great need for such interchanges. Previous to the Philadelphia Con ference in 1894, each community was working out its local problems as best it might without much, if any, thought as to what was going on elsewhere. The Municipal League of Philadelphia and the City Club Of New York conceived the idea of a conference of municipal reformers about the same time. The result of their joint de liberations was the Philadelphia Conference for Good City Government, the published volume of the Proceedings of which has long been out of print. This meeting was so fruitful of suggestions that the organization of the National Municipal League followed shortly, as a matter Of course. Since then its annual meetings have perpetuated the good work auspiciously begun in 1894.
