HE STUDY of municipal government has greatly accelerated in the past few years, but as yet little has been done to investigate the behavior of municipal councils and commissions. The large number of separately incorporated cities in the rather restricted area of one metropolitan county obviously presents ideal ground upon which to conduct such a study. This project was drafted, therefore, to determine the types of voting patterns that exist within the city councils of the cities of Los Angeles County.The question can be stated simply. The answers, however, are dependent on a mass of information necessary to draw valid comparisons and conclusions. Data of this type would necessarily include information about the cities and regional areas themselves, demographic mobility, popular civic attitudes, and important municipal problems. The legislative committee system, occupying its place of major importance in modern government structure, demanded thorough investigation as a basis for arriving at definitive conclusions to the major questions
