Book Description
Excerpt from The Beginning of Municipal Government in Ontario The settlers of New England, being very largely of the same social class, and having few or no servants, maintained their individuality, and exercised with the freedom of a new country those local rights and privileges which they had introduced from England. In the southern colonies, on the other hand, of which Virginia was the special type, the settlers were mainly of the middle and upper classes, with less of the Puritanic strain. Moreover, they soon obtained from Britain a large element Of the lower class in the capacity of servants. These were much inferior to their masters in moral fibre.

Book Description
Excerpt from First Report of the Commission on Municipal Institutions: Appointed by the Government of the Province of Ontario As we have derived all our institutions, political and municipal, directly or indirectly from Great Britain, we endeavored to trace the growth and development of municipal institutions in that country, and to ascertain whether anything likely to be beneficial to us could be gathered from its experience or example. We found the task very difficult and not very profitable. England. The present condition of local government in England, Mr. Goschen described a few years ago as a chaos of authorities, "a chaos of rates, and, worse than all, a chaos of areas." The powers which we believe should be exercised by municipal bodies elected by the people, are there divided amongst local bodies, between which there is no connection, save what has been effected by the control which the local Government Board, created in 1870, exercises over some of them. For the models on which our institutions are framed we must look to a remote period. In the Anglo Saxon times the mark or tithing, afterwards called township, had, as our township has to-day, its Reeve and four associates, who managed its local affairs and represented it in Wapentake or Hundred mote, and, when counties were organised, in the Shire mote. At those assemblies justice was done in criminal and civil affairs, and provision was made for the construction of roads and of such other works as were deemed necessary, the greater works being undertaken by the Hundred over whose mote the Hundred man presided, or by the Shire at whose assembly the ealdorman and with him, in Christian times, the Bishop presided. In those days cities and boroughs enjoyed a large measure of self-government conferred upon them by royal charter, or established by prescriptive usage. The commissioners appointed to enquire into the state of the boroughs of England, in 1833, reported that a charter granted by Athelstan, and another by Edward the Confessor, were still extant. It is probable, however, that the rights and privileges enjoyed by cities and boroughs arose from the peoples desire for independence, from their genius for self-government, and from the circumstances which forced those communities to act as one for the protection of all. Those Anglo-Saxon charters, like the many royal and baronial charters issued after the conquest, gave or guaranteed to the citizens and burgesses only the right to elect their own magistrates, to make what laws they thought necessary for the management of the city or borough, to establish markets to carry on their business without interruption and to raise among themselves in their own way the taxes which under various names they were required to pay to king or baron, to abbot or prelate. The only material change the conqueror attempted to make in their constitution was the substitution of a royal bailiff for the port-reeve as chief magistrate. The chief duty of this officer was to collect and pay over the royal tribute. But the cities and towns one after another induced the monarch, by offer of more liberal contributions, to allow them to elect their own chief magistrate, who was then called Mayor. During the long struggle between the king and the great feudal nobles, which, commencing in the reign of the Conqueror, continued for centuries, the cities and boroughs grew in importance and acquired greater privileges. The monarch sought to secure their assistance which often proved valuable, and the barons found it necessary to attach more firmly to their interests the boroughs which held charters from them.

Book Description
Excerpt from Municipal Government in Ontario; Municipal Organization in Ontario; Bibliography of Canadian Municipal Government Up to r80r the Quarter Sessions were not authorized to make any special provisions for towns or villages as distinct from the remainder of the district. Gaols and courthouses were naturally placed in the chief town or towns in the district, and in such towns special nuisances were abated, special attention paid to the roads, special grants made for the schools and for the relief of the poor. But all these were services which might have been discharged for any part of the district where need arose. In 1801, however, by a special Act of the legislature, the Court of Quarter Sessions of the Midland district 'was empowered to establish and regulate a market in the town of Kingston.' This was as much for the convenience of the inhabitants of the district in general as for the benefit of the people of Kingston. The location of the market, and the various rules and regulations to be observed in connection with it, were left to the discretion of the magistrates. Copies of the market rules were to be posted in the most public places in every township in the district, and at the doors of the church and court-house in Kingston. Up to this time there had been an informal market in the town. By common consent certain streets were recognized as places where country produce was to be bought and sold. No rules, however, could be enforced; there were no market hours or days appointed, or any protection against forestalliug, in those days much complained of. The magistrates acted upon the authority given them, the Kingston market was duly established, and by 1811 the published rules and regulations had become very extensive: ' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Ontario Historical Society Papers and Records, 1899, Vol. 1 The character of these and of the other papers in this issue is sufficient to show in a general way the scope of what our Society has in view by way of publication. There is no lack of material. Several municipal records Of early date have recently been unearthed, and from these much may be gathered respecting the development of our present system of local government. A large portion of this Province is now beyond the mere bread and-butter condition; and, with an admirable school system, the time has come when our Old people may, with dignified leisure, recall the days of Old, while it is the duty, as well as the privilege, of the younger generations to study by-gone events in the light of the present day, and to lay the foundations of the future aided by the experience of the past.
