This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Excerpt from Municipal Franchises, Vol. 2 of 2: A Description of the Terms and Conditions Upon Which Private Corporations Enjoy Special Privileges in the Streets of American Cities; Transportation Franchises Taxation and Control of Public Utilities In the last part of the book the discussion relates to a number of interesting and important items in the general franchise problem, such as the constitutional and statutory safe-guarding of franchise procedure, the regulation of pub lic utilities by state and local commissions, franchise taxation, capitalization and municipal ownership. These subjects are so broad and so complex as to deserve extended discussion in, a separate volume. All that has been attempted in the con cluding chapters of this book is a brief and somewhat rough statement of what I consider to be the more important gen eral principles that should govern public activities in rela tion to the public utility problems there considered.

(Excerpt from Analysis of the Electric Railway Problem On...)
Excerpt from Analysis of the Electric Railway Problem On May 15. 1919, the Secretaries of Commerce and Labor submitted to the President a joint recommendation for the appointment of a Federal commission to study and report upon the electric railway problem. During the war the traction companies had been caught between the upper and the nether millstones The increase in the cost of labor and materials had been sharp, sudden and irresistible. The maximum five-cent fare, fixed by contract and by custom, had stood in the way of a prompt increase in revenues to meet the increase in the costs of the transportation service rendered. Through the National War Labor Board, the Federal Government had taken a hand in compelling the street railways to pay to their conductors and motormen what at that time seemed an enormous wage. While the nation was engaged in its gigantic struggle, continuity of street railway service had to be maintained at any price. The companies paid the wage bills and appealed to the Government to raise the fares. Failing to bring about direct interference either by Congress or by the President through some hoped-for exercise of war powers, they had to content themselves with trying to get favorable publicity and helpful recommendations to the state and local authorities. They sought, at the very least, the appointment of a Presidential commission to serve as a sort of national sounding-board before which they could beat the tom-tom and attract public attention everywhere to their financial distress and to the inadequacy of the five-cent fare. On May 31, 1919, the Federal Electric Railways Commission was appointed, consisting of eight members representing various interests, as follows: Charles E. Elmquist, president and general solicitor of the National Association of Railway and Utilities Commissioners. Edwin F. Sweet, Assistant Secretary of Commerce, and former mayor of Grand Rapids, Mich., representing the Department of Commerce. Philip H. Gadsden, vice-president of the United Gas Improvement Company, and president of the Charleston Consolidated Railway and Lighting Company, representing the American Electric Railway Association. Royal Meeker, Commissioner of Labor Statistics, representing the Department of Labor. Louis B. Wehle. general counsel of the War Finance Corporation, representing the Treasury Department. Charles W. Beall, of Harris. Forbes & Company, representing the Investment Bankers Association of America. William D. Mahon, president of the Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Railway Employes of America, representing that association. George L. Baker, mayor of Portland, Ore.. representing the American Cities League of Mayors. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

(It is in these mobile centers of population, where great ...)
It is in these mobile centers of population, where great issues can be fought out at short range and with a keen appreciation of their importance, that the political future of the country is to be determined. Municipal franchises are the concrete, definite points of contact between large public and large private interests. While franchise ordinances and contracts are generally technical, and often elaborate and hard to understand, yet the interest of the people in the terms and conditions of franchises is immediate and supreme. Franchises have been regarded as special privileges granted by the government to particular individuals or companies to be exploited for private profit. They are coming to be regarded, however, not so much as privileges, but rather as functions delegated to private individuals to be performed for the furtherance of the public welfare and subject to public control. It is astonishing that this subject has not been made before now the theme of many comprehensive books. It is a fact, however, that the field is practically new so far as bookmaking is concerned. There are, of course, numberless magazine articles and many special reports, as well as a few books, on the question of municipal as against private ownership of public utilities. Books have also been written on the law of franchises. But so far as the writer knows, this volume is the first one to be published having for its subject the analysis and description of municipal franchises as they exist in actual operation in the cities of A merica. (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)

Excerpt from The Study City Government: An Outline of the Problems of Municipal Functions, Control and Organization This little book now offered to the public has taken its present form rather sooner than was at first intended. It is the outgrowth of a bare outline or scheme of the problems of city government, prepared during the past year in connection with private tutoring work. In spite of the recent increased interest in municipal affairs, many people ask, when a student of city government announces himself, "Why! what is there in that to study?" The outline which forms the basis of this volume was prepared in order to show people just what there is in city government that it is worth while to study.

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
