Book Description
Excerpt from Treatise on the Law of Municipal Corporations We have popularized and made use of municipal institutions to such an extentas to constitute one of the most striking features of our government. It owes to them, indeed, in a great degree, its decentralized character. When the English Municipal Corporations Reform Act of 1835 was passed there were in England and Wales, excluding London, only two hundred and forty-six places exercising municipal functions; and their aggregate population did not exceed two millions -of people. In this country our municipal corporations are numbered by thousands, and the inhabitants subjected to their rule by millions.
