Book Overview
The City For The People: Or The Municipalization Of The City Government And Of Local Franchises (1901) is a book written by Frank Parsons. The book discusses the concept of municipalization, which involves transferring the ownership and control of public services and utilities to the local government. The author argues that municipalization would lead to greater efficiency, lower costs, and better service for the citizens. The book also discusses the need for reform in city government and the importance of local franchises, such as streetcar lines and gas and electric utilities. The author provides examples of successful municipalization efforts in other cities and makes a case for why it should be implemented in American cities. The book is a seminal work in the field of municipal ownership and has influenced many subsequent discussions and debates on the topic.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
