To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Indeed, if any local organ ever had need of a weapon like the veto power wherewith to defend its own sphere of authority, it is certainly not the mayoralty. It is, in fact, this branch of city administra- tion which, through its steady growth in strength, has made sorry work of the original balance of powers.
Digitized by VjQOQlC 1 142 LOCAL GOVERNMENT As a matter of fact, the mayor's veto power has not, on the whole, contributed very greatly to the efficiency of the American municipal system.
...It has, no doubt, served the cause of economy and sound administration in a great many instances, but it has quite as often been an effective instrument of the political bully.
Mayors have used it in cases without number to bulldoze and browbeat councils into submission. By vetoes and threats of vetoes councilmen have time and again been forced to choose between the executive assassination of their own measures and a policy of subserviency to the mayor in other matters. Boards of aldermen have been compelled to confirm appointments made by the mayor under the threat that measures in which aldermen and their constituents were interested would be decapitated.
