The description Of the Burgernelslers oNloe -
very interesting as we'll as the comparison OF
its duties with those Of corresponding stations
in other lands The Office is a very ancient one
and the man selected for the post in any large
city is always an expert who has already had
successful administrative experience A large
town like Berlin or Frankfort in need of a chief
official looks for a man who has commanded at
tention by success as Burgermeister or paid
magistrate in a smaller place. We take an
equivalent course with our railroads and fac
tories but the greatest business in the United
States is not a business. Having Sc
cured the best man available. the Prussians give
him security and length of tenure, substantial
emouments and enviable station. 1t almost
seems as if even our cities might learn some
thing from such system.
The year 1892 first brought the question OF
municipal reform to the front in England. A
royal commission. after a thorough and vigor-
examination. reported a state Of affairs
which is pronounced by the author "undoubted-
ly worse than that which has marked the adj
ministration of any American city even when
things have been at their most critical stage"
Without any sweeping reconstruction of the
organs of municipal government a vast and
profound change in the spirit OF local admins
tration has been effected. Two important les
sons stand out as the result of this experience.
First. however corrupt and inefficient the ad-
ministration of cities in any country may be-
come the situation Is not hopeless Second
revolution even radical reconstruction Of the
government is needful TO transform a corrupt
and inefficient administration into one which re-
fleets at every turn the qualities Of honesty and
power. careful survey is made Of the munich
pal corporations consolidation act of 1850. which
now forms the chief legal basis of English mu-
nicipal government, and the intricacies OF the
London city administration and the London
County Council unfolded and explained at
length
