Abstract

Both public officials and private organizations are becoming increasingly concerned with the need for improved efficiency in and reorganization of local governments. The seriousness of the financial crises in both state and local governments is nowhere more evident than in the President's proposal for federal revenue sharing with the state and local governments.The fiscal problems of local government, however, are more pervasive than temporary funding solutions alone can deal with.Exhaustive studies of the origins, political and social influences, organization and accomplishments of local governments themselves and their relationships with other units and levels of government are needed in order to develop a governmental organization consistent with contemporary needs. Several areas in the South have dealt forcefully with governmental reorganization through city-county consolidation. Notable examples of this are Miami-Dade and Jacksonville-Duval in Florida, and Nashville-Davidson in Tennessee.
