Excerpt from Essays in Municipal Administration Municipal government is so large and so complicated a subject that when one is asked to speak on the broad general topic, it is no easy matter to decide what aspect to discuss. There are the exciting and dramatic events of municipal politics in particular cities there are the difficult legal problems of municipal organization and the relation of cities to the state government; and there are a long series of special subjects connected with the everyday work of municipal officials. Instead of considering any of these subjects, how ever, I shall attempt here simply to emphasize the general importance of municipal government by a brief sketch of the development of cities and their functions, with some reference to the defects of American municipal management and means of improving the situation.

Excerpt from Howrah The deep channel alternates from left to right and vice cersa according to the windings of the river, except where deflected by the large tributaries which debouch into it at the southern limit of this district. Proceeding from Howrah Bridge, the deep channel runs on the Calcutta side in the Calcutta Reach past the Fort and Kidderpore to Garden Reach. At Rajganj, Opposite Hangman Point, it crosses over to the Howrah Side, and follows the Sankrail Reach as far as Melancholy (menikhali) Point. It then zigzags from left to right at each bend.
