Publisher's Synopsis
Municipal and Private Operation of Public Utilities (1908) examines the debates surrounding the ownership and management of essential services. In this detailed analysis, J.W. Sullivan scrutinizes the findings of the National Civic Federation Commission on Public Ownership and Operation.
Sullivan presents a balanced perspective, comparing the efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and labor relations of municipal versus private management. This book provides valuable insights into the historical context of public utility governance, offering a clear understanding of the arguments for and against public ownership prevalent at the turn of the century. A crucial read for those interested in the evolution of public policy and infrastructure management.
