Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book introduces readers to the problems in American cities associated with their administration and public works. The author meticulously explains the history, causes, and dangers of corrupt and incompetent municipal governments. The book covers the lack of power and organization of citizens allowing corrupt politicians to take control - explaining that while the American public is generally honest and hardworking; the "degrading and vulgar competition for civic honors" prevents good people from entering politics. Furthermore, the book discusses the inability of the public to elect capable individuals because of complicated systems and lack of general knowledge, along with the rise of urban populations and the power of non-tax paying individuals. Ultimately, this book reveals the need for greater local self-government and how the bonding system should be abolished to bring about lasting change and ensure that the residents of America's cities have a voice in their governance. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
