What reading level is The Dangers of Municipal Ownership book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In business centers like Holborn and Westminster, the expen- diture, debt and taxation per head, based on the night population (which is small), would be con- siderably less per head if based on the day- population, who contribute most of the taxation.
In these districts, therefore, trading (while pres- ent) does not account for the high per capita. In other cases, also, the excessive cost of poor law ad- ministration, and extravagance in the ordinary work of local government, account for the h...igh rate of taxation where trading is not carried on.
The lighting of a number of the London boroughs, for example, is still in the hands of companies, and the economy shown in the cost of company lighting compared with the cost in municipal-lighted dis- tricts is very striking. Here are some comparative figures, adapted from a table prepared by the London Municipal Society : Borough Street Mileage Cost of Lighting Cost per MUe Bethnal Green .
. (company) 40 $23,985 $600 Shoreditch . . . .
. (municipal) 43 72,000 1,674 Deptford .
