A Half Century of Municipal Reform: The History of the National Municipal League provides an in-depth chronicle of the League’s origins, programs, and contributions to municipal reform from 1894 to 1944, with occasional references extending to 1948. This study examines the conditions that led to the League’s creation, its strategies for improving local governance, and the challenges it faced, evaluating its impact over fifty years of advocacy. Drawing extensively from the League’s publications, personal files, and public archives in cities such as New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and Berkeley, the author combines documentary analysis with insights gained from interviews with key figures, including past Secretaries Clinton Rogers Woodruff and Harold W. Dodds. With access to unique collections like Richard S. Childs’ materials on the short ballot, this comprehensive work captures the evolution and influence of this pivotal organization in shaping better municipal governance.

This title is part of UC Press’s Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1950.
