What reading level is The Modern City book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
More than four and three- fourths pay a penny or less.
Glasgow has nearly 200 miles of street railway in operation. More than three times what it was in 1894 And the average fare is under a penny: — Yielded a net surplus of $175, 000 that went into the "Common Good" fund. More than a million dollars have been turned in since 1 894.
What these European cities have learned from cen- turies of experience is wise to do, can be done by every American city, if the people will bring govern- ment back ...to the people. If the people will drive the political broker, the speculator in public utilities and the saloon out of business, they will drive the evils out of government. And that is all that is needed.
DETROIT.
Detroit fifteen years ago established a municipal electric plant. And ten years ago it established an asphalt paving plant. In the electric plant, after pay- ing all fixed charges and allowing for interest on the investment, annual depreciation, taxes that would have been collected had the plant been operated by a private corporation, repairs and extensions, it saved to the people of Detroit in one decade $460, 000.
