The Municipal And Assessment Guide Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Municipal and Assessment Guide In the year 1884 I wrote a manual entitled The Municipal Councillor's Handbook, the scope and object of which were very much the same as those of the present work, except that it was confined to a synopsis of the Municipal Act, while this book contains in addition a condensation of the Assess ment Act. The Handbook was received with great favor by both the press and the public, and I had intended to issue a new edition, but when I came to examine and compare it with the law as it now stands I found the changes so great and many that I came to the conclusion that it was impracticable to do anything else than to write an entirely new work. This shows how frequent are the amend ments to the municipal law, a fact which gives rise to constant objection, and to the expression of a desire that municipal legislation should be curtailed. But the result of an examination such as I have made shows a great improvement, and that our municipal system has been much perfected. And yet about twenty-five years ago the late Chiefu preface. Justice Harrison, after comparing our Municipal and Assessment Acts with those of other countries, pronounced them the most complete and perfect codes of the kind of which he had any know ledge. If they were so then, and have been improved since, our municipal system is one in which the people of Ontario should take pride.
