Description: All of us who are charged with the responsibility of administering good government must plan ahead.
To do this intelligently, we need to envision the workings of not just one individual governmental unity, but of all units which affect our lives. Teamwork among governing bodies is of utmost important.
Predictions have been made that in the not too far distant future all of the territory stretching from Fort Wayne, Indiana to Milwaukee, Wisconsin will be a solidly built up community. The wide center of this crescent, of course, is our own Chicago and Cook county. 
John Dreiske's book, encompassing all branches of local government, will be a great help in understanding the situation as a whole. It will prove of immense value, not only to elected officials and civic minded groups, but it should be read by the general public and studied in the schools. No where else can such comprehensive information be found in one volume. 
No one is better qualified to paint this over-all picture than Chicago's renowned Dreiske, who has spent a life-time studying and writing about governmental affairs. His authoritative, interesting and well-writing book is a literary contribution of which not only the author but the entire community can be proud.
