This issue contains the following articles: "Municipal Licenses" by C. N. Kirkbride, "The Value of Municipal Libraries" by Frederick J. Teggert, "The Proposed Street Law" by Joseph Hutchinson, "Concerning Electric Lighting Contracts," "The Use of Garbage as Fuel," "Miscellany," "Editorial," "What the Cities Are Doing," and "Recent Court Decisions." This magazine was connected with an organization called the League of California Municipalities. The League of California Municipalities was founded in 1898 by Alameda city clerk Ben Lamborn, community activist Haven A. Mason, and San Francisco Mayor James D. Phelan. The goal of the League of Municipalities was to have California city officials meet and discuss topics relevant to their cities such as funding, taxes, implementation of new laws, and the like. The League of Municipalities was inspired by the National Municipal League, which was a citizens group that had been founded in 1894 to fight city corruption. The League of Municipalities still exists to this day as the League of California Cities with the main office located in Sacramento. Most of California's 482 cities are represented in the League..
