To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The civic administration is largely "in the hands of the Mayor. In his hands lies the appointment of the heads of the several departments, public works, finance, education and charities. As a rule the affairs of the city have been well administered, THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA. 135 though the authority thus put in the hands of one man oives opportunity for grave abuses. Good men have, as a rule, been secured, and the progress of the city is the best evidence of it. Perhaps the greatest cause for g...rumbliug has been found in the City Hall, which has been unsparingly condemned as unsuitable, unsightly, and almost every other negative adjective has been expended upon it. But that is not a unique distinction. The city leaves upon one the impression of con- servatism that holds to a good thing, but keeps wide-open eyes for a better, and gladly welcomes the best that can be found. The quiet reserve of the original founders still broods over the city and permeates its business affairs, and all its transactions.
