Honors
Mayor Magee lives on through both Magee-Women's Hospital and Magee Street in the city, both were named for the family and the Mayor's notable uncle, Christopher Lyman Magee.
Magee also wrote an informative article about what he considered to be the inefficiencies of city government. http://www.library.cornell.edu/Reps/DOCS/magee.htm
While many of the concepts he addresses seem practical and logical, at the time of publication City Governments were run through executive checks and balances, to the point of ineffectiveness. The caution or national 'fear' of a powerful central government and the adoption of the 'checks and balances' system at the National level trickled down to the most local of city governments. Magee addresses this, and states that City Governments should be more centralized and focused in order to be effective.
