Excerpt from Check List of Books and Pamphlets on Municipal Government Found in the Free Public Libraries of Chicago: Issued in Connection With the International Municipal Congress and Exposition, Chicago, September 18th to 30th, 1911 The same exigencies of economy governed in matters of style. Titles were shortened as much as consistent with clarity; bibliographical data, excepting only date of publication, were dispensed with, and annotations were employed in rare cases of apparently absolute necessity. No title is listed more than once, i. E under its first or most important subject. It is per haps needless to add that no reference has been made to the vast bulk of contributions to the subject to be found in periodi cal publications. The absence of some topics, as yet treated only in that ephemeral form, will thus be accounted for. It is, then, as a selective check list that this compilation goes forth. Intended primarily as an exhibit, to convey to the visitor to the Municipal Exposition some idea of the wealth of material relating to the field covered by the Exposition, which is available in the libraries of Chicago, it may, perhaps, find a more extended usefulness as a guide and aid to the student and the official.
