Abstract

In part because of a realization that most government services could be privatized, municipal officers are becoming more sensitive to the need to achieve "customer satisfaction." Freeport municipal employees recently attended a seminar on customer satisfaction conducted by L. L.

Portland last month released a "Reinventing Government" report that recommends better ways of delivering city services, and other municipalities are considering keeping town and city halls open on Saturdays and extending hours.
