Excerpt from Long-Range Programming of Municipal Public Works: June 1941; Report of the Public Works Committee to the National Resources Planning Board Otter, Spokane; Mr. Royden Reed, Dallas and Fargo; Mr. Sidney Thomas, Sacramento and Winchester; and Mr. Robert Totten, Nashville and Fargo. Each of the demonstration studies culminated in the publication by the municipal officials of a report setting forth a long-range program of municipal improvements and recommending procedures for continuance of the operation in the future. Finally, the knowledge gained through the initial investigations and the experiences encountered in the demonstration studies were used as the basis for preparing the general discussion of long-range programming of municipal public works which follows. The text was prepared by Mr. Melvin E. Scheidt, who directed the demonstration studies and made the initial investigations. Acknowledgment is made of the splendid cooperation and the sincere helpfulness of the officials of all the cities concerned, both in the initial investigations and in conducting the demonstra tions. Without such cooperation it would not have been possible to complete this work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
