Excerpt from City Government in Europe: Houston's Inquiry Into Municipal Organization and Administration in the Principal Cities of Great Britain and Germany; With a Report of Findings and Recommendations for Houston's Guidance in Developing a Great Seaport City on the Gulf of Mexico
Mayor Rice and the City Commissioners of Houston have done a very wise thing. Recognizing that Houston is to be a big city, and that in its development many problems will have to be met, they have engaged Mr. Frank Putnam to go to Germany and make a study of the leading municipalities of that country. It is believed that Houston can learn many important lessons in the handling of municipal improvements and the betterment of the city by a study of the methods which have been so successful in many of the most progressive cities of Germany. Every city in the country could well afford to employ a first-class expert to study city improvements in this country and abroad. In this way the mistakes which have been made could be avoided and the successes achieved could be followed. Houston has set a good example.
