Excerpt from American City Government: A Survey of Newer Tendencies This volume, as its subtitle indicates, is not a systematic treatise on municipal government, but a survey of recent leading tendencies. Its reason for existence, in view of the several works already available, is in the distribution of emphasis, in the stress which it lays on the social and economic functions of city government.
