History And Analysis Of The Commission And City-Manager Plans Of Municipal Government In The United States is a book written by Tso-Shuen Chang in 1918. The book provides a detailed historical account and analysis of the commission and city-manager plans of municipal government in the United States. The author explores the origins of these plans, their development over time, and their impact on local governance. The commission plan, which was first adopted in Galveston, Texas, in 1901, replaced the traditional mayor-council form of government with a small commission of elected officials who were responsible for both legislative and executive functions. The city-manager plan, which was first implemented in Staunton, Virginia, in 1908, introduced a professional manager to oversee the day-to-day operations of the city. Chang examines the strengths and weaknesses of each plan, and provides recommendations for improving them. The book is a valuable resource for students, scholars, and policymakers interested in the history and evolution of municipal government in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
