What reading level is Municipal Ownership And Municipal Franchises book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The one remarkable fact in this vote was that in every single ward of the city there was an overwhelming majority against these propositions, so that while about one hundred and fifteen thousand voters did not vote at all on these questions, the vote must be accepted as a thoroughly representative one. Even in those wards of the city where the wealthier classes live, the ratio was two to one. That certainly was as plain and emphatic an answer as could possibly be made, and the answer was not ra...shly given. It was the tfee- result of a thorough study of the ordinance submitted, and of the subject of municipal ownership in general. This study, encouraged by newspapers, brochures and public speak- ers not only throughout the entire campaign, but for a long period before, brought to the majority of Chicago's citizens the firm con- viction that only through the agency of municipal ownership could they expect permanent relief from the greed and oppression of the street railway corporations. The splendid examples of the beneficial results of municipal ownership in England, Germany and other European countries did not fail to leave a deep impression upon the voters, but the main cause for their great strength must be found right at home, for here for many years they themselves had prac- ticed municipal ownership in such a manner that the opposition had to content itself with pointing out petty neglects, not being able to produce any well-grounded reasons against it.
